  1. I did good eating all day until someone brought in goodies. They don't even taste good why do I always want to eat them. I need to learn to stall myself and not give myself permission. I actually went to the heart dr today. They said my heart mis fires. They gave me medication in hopes of regulating it. The thing that made me happy was that my blood pressure in 2002 the last time I had all my major heart tests was 169/89. Well today (drum roll please) was 104/69. Yea! The weight loss has helped I just need to keep pushing forward.

    I know what some of you are thinking why would you be happy about being able to eat but I am. I had 1 cc taken out and feel great. I ate lunch at 12. It's now 5 and I'm not even hungry. That's what's awesome. Ate 4 oz of chicken two bites of mashed potato and I feel awesome. I hope it stays this way. I have had breakfast and lunch. No snacks and I'm on top of the world. Like I said I hope it stays that way stay tuned for more to come.
  4. Yesterday I had 1cc taken out of my band. It's a tad more then I wanted but we decided to give it a try for 4 weeks. I know some people say they are tight in the morning but he said you should never be so tight that you can't eat solids at every meal. Three meals a day of solid protein no snacking and that last 15 pounds should come off. I can do anything for 4 weeks so I'm giving it a try. 3 meals a day no snacking and exercise 30 minutes a day. Wish me luck. Would like to break this plateau .
  5. I had some taken out yesterday as well. 1 cc I to feel much better. Just woke up so I'm going to try some breakfast that's not a protein shake and see how it goes down. Good luck to you.

    The slider food I have been eating are starbucks frappachino very bad. Instead of eating I would just drink one of those. Going to see my dr this afternoon so I will fill you guys in on his thoughts. I'm tired of being at this fans still.
  7. Well today I'm going for. Slight unfill. I have a goal I want to reach my goal and I think the slight decrease in fluid will help. I would like to be able to eat breakfast. This morning I had a shake I hate having a shake for breakfast. Lame. I will write more after the Dr. Give y'all an update. There is a girl on Facebook and you tube that inspires me so much. I think I want to do what she does. She writes and takes pictures of what she eats. It's such motivation. Like they say winners find a way losers find excuses.

    I have tried to blog many times, so here I go again. I love to write so I really hope this works. I need a fresh start. I went on vacation which ends tomorrow and did awful. I'm at the same exact weight as i was year ago. This is not a good thing considering I had lap band surgery to lose weight.currently I'm slightly over filled which I will fix Wednesday. Maybe then I can eat solids and stick to my program. Right now I'm gravitating to slider foods. . So I'm going to get back on the bandwagon so to speak and try to get into the 150's. I need accountability to myself. Quit lying to myself that what I put in my mouth is ok because its really not.I'm going to try to blog everyday for the accountability and see if I can get these last 15 pounds off. Wish me luck.
  9. You can do it.
  10. Hi, I'm new here. My name is Melanie. I had surgery Feb 2, 2010.last night I was at a PRE wedding party and after reviewing the pictures I was actually happy with the way I looked.this was a total victory for me.
