I just got this thing it should be coming off already lol. I did get another fill today for a total of 1.5cc. The .75cc he put in two weeks ago was down to about .3cc so that is why my restriction had completely disappeared. Hopefully this will help jump start things. He also said that now that I am up to 3 miles a day he would like to see my stay at that distance but increase my speed.

Ohh Molly I hope so. It is so hard to not just want the pounds to melt off. I think no matter how quickly I lose it just won't be fast enough

Julie that is so awesome!!!!!!!! I hope one day to be able to take a picture like that too. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I really really want to drop below 250. I have spent most of my 20's closer to 300 than 200.

I have never been thin. I am 26 and I must have lost about 500 pounds dieting. I did not want to spend the next 26 years of my life doing the same thing. This time it is going to be gone for good. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Okay Susannah I am in.....lets see if this works. This is all I have since we switched computers and all my pics are still on the other one! stacy.bmp

So yesterday I woke up in a pretty bad mood. It has just been a bad week in general. I got on the treadmill and I was actually pissed that I had to get off after 3 miles because I had to get ready for work. Weird stuff. I have been using my Ipod lately and I think it is working much better than the tv is. I am kind of wanting to leave work and go walk. I hope this lasts.

Thank you flabulous for putting into words my biggest problem with being able to lose weight. I am so scared of not having an excuse to fall back on that I tend to sabatoge all of my efforts.

Okay I am down two more.

Molly I hope to get one of those naps later. As of now it is 5:30 am and I have to work until 11. Did I mention I have been awake since 4am Friday. Yeah had to pull and all nighter trying to snake my sewer line because we have roots in the pipe and the rented auger was due back by 9am this morning. Probably high up on the list of grossest things I have ever done. The auger actually broke and we had to pull out and reel the thing in by hand. Yeah about 75 feet of sewage covered steel piping. Sh*t all over me, my husband and the bathroom. Literally. I spent over an hour just scrubbing the bathroom with bleach. And now I am so tired I just want to keel over and die.

I think we should pretend it is true just to make us feel better!

Maybe she is far to busy being superior to us?

If it is the same one I saw before it was some ladies who had a bypass and then replaced their eating addictions with other addictions, I belive one was alcohol and another one was sex.

I remember the first day in my abnormal psyc class the teacher warned us to remember that we did not have any of the problems we were going to be learning about. Even with the warning I think many of us kept wondering if we were crazy.

So because there are people here who disagree with your opinion you are just going to erase your original post and huff off in a tantrum? Maybe you are older than me but you are acting just like my 3 year old. Younger, Banded, Republican and know what I'm talking about.

The first thing I remember is being wheeled from the PACU to my room. I don't remember leaving the OR or being in the PACU. My nurse told me the first thing I did was feel my body (as in to like feel that it was still there) and exclaim "wow I am effing alive" except I actually used the F word.

I probably could have eaten anything. The most I ate at one time was a toasted tuna fish sandwhich. That was the most I was even going to push it. I was very very concerned about over eating which is why I wanted to get my fill.

That is pretty crappy. I mean if they want you to drink a bottle of water before leaving they really should provide it to you.

I do feel really good about actually doing it I am just not happy when I have to do it. lol Now that I am finished for the day I think exercise is great! :heh: Plus I figure that if I make a poor food choice one day I am not going to feel as guilty about it since I am exercising. Skinny people eat cake too, just not the whole thing at once! I already know that my working out is making a difference because even without restriction in the past two weeks I have still lost 5 pounds.

You should get in the habit of not drinking with your meals now. I was lucky enough to get a fill yesterday because like you I had no restriction. For the nest three weeks just do your best to make good food choices. One thing that has been helpful to me has been exercise. This last week my eating was atrocious. I thought for sure I must have gained weight. With my walking I actually lost another 3 pounds. Just try to keep the activity up.

Thanks Molly I will try not to worry too much. I am just grateful he gave me a fill early (he usually won't until 6 weeks) because I could have eaten anything. I was starting to have some old habits slowly slip back in. I need to make better food choices and stop justifying my choices by saying "oh well I can't eat as much as before so I will be ok" Then again i think the PMS has brought on this need to binge on bad food so at least that will pass lol

Well I am down 3 more pounds. I am 28 days out from my surgery and I feel great. I also got my first fill today .75cc. Now I am back on the liquids for two days and I am already really freaked out about eating food again.

Thrush? Wow. I got my first fill today. I am at 28 days. It wasn't super painful but it was definitly not a comfortable thing. More pressure than anything else. He put in .75cc. I ma a little freaked out as to how this is going to affect my eating, and I know I ma going to be scared to take that first bite once I ma back off liquids again.

I was so pumped up to go walking outside today. And then the weather said wind chills in the low teens. *Sigh* Maybe tomorrow or next week. It is March for goodness sake. Give me a 40 degrees and I will run with it. lol

I do this too! Except I can't go back to bed.

Seriously look at part of your statement above. You say it is not just the boys yet the very next thing you say is that you are getting hit on alot more. All of your post involove revolve being happy by such superficial things. It is what is inside that counts and all you are worried about is apperances. I might be fat, I may not not get hit on alot, and I may be unable to afford to carry around a prada purse but I would put anything on the line to bet that I am way happier with my life than you are with yours. You need to be happy with you first and from reading your posts it is obvious that inside you really aren't.
