LadyDiva618 got a reaction from dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, I Survive My First Thanksgiving Banded
Do you guys like my picture of me and Fun Boy? I had him all weekend and we had fun.
How was everyone Thanksgiving? You know what I am actually proud of myself I did good even though I had a big piece of my mom famous Sweet Potato Pie at 11am and it was so good. I even bake a chocolate cake with egg whites and applesauce if only I could of find a healthier version of chocolate icing.
Anyway my big sister host Thanksgiving Dinner at her house and we had fun. I grab the smallest plate that she had (it was one of Fun Boy plates) and had a simple of everything! My daddy even commented that he was on his second plate and I was still on my first and only plate. I just laugh and told him that I have to chew chew chew and chew! He laughed and said that I was doing a good job.
Can I tell you guys a funny story?
I really wasn't sure about my chocolate cake that I made. One thing about me I love to bake but I don't need eat what I make. This time I was curious so I cut me a small piece of cake. As I was making my to go plate.... Fun Boy was over there eating pieces of my cake. When I looked over there he started laughing and ran. I just laugh and continue fixing my to go plate. Little did I know SJ (Fun Boy) went back to my cake and started eating it again! I turn around and I called his name and he looked at me and said it was good. Together me and Fun Boy finished the piece of cake.
The next day was my moms birthday and I did something with her that I haven't done in a long time..... We watched a movie together. It is true the best things in life are free!
Tomorrow I go back to work and I see my doc on Wednesday. God is good!
Thanks for reading.

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, I Had To Get Out The House Yesterday!
Happy Sunday Funday everyone!
Every Saturday Morning is my Weigh In day and yesterday was my 75 pounds mark! I was to excited and I had to celebrate. Also I was getting bored being in the house so I went shopping! The first thing I brought was a bra, I've been dreading this day for a long time but I knew I needed a new bra. Of course my fun bags shrunk not to bad but they did. I love my new bra it amazing how the littlest things bring me joy.
Then I went to my favorite clothing store Dots! I had a $10 off coopin so that was even better. I brought me a couple of outfits and some accessories.
Since Dots was close to my parents house I had to stop by and see my parents. Guess who greeted me at the door when I walked in? My nephew! I was so happy to see him and my dad was up watching him while my mom was out. I owe my dad big time so I told him to go to sleep while I watch Fun Boy (my nephew).
I just like to say I am Bubble Guppies out and wore out. Fun Boy had me all over the place. But it was worth it. When my mom came back we talk for a bit and I showed her my new clothes, She congratulated me on my weight loss and told me that I should go home because I was over doing it. Mom knows best right? I told her that I had to go to Dollar General first then I will go home. So I did.
I finally got my appetite back too! Protein! Protein! Protein! was the plan yesterday and they was what I had. Can I make a suggestion to you guys? Danon makes a fruit greek yogurt called Light & Fit. It has 12 grams of protein and it 80 calories! If was so good!
After reading a certain someone blog entry yesterday, I was convince to have some Chinese food. I had orange chicken with veggies and that was my lunch and dinner. And the St. Louis Blues won yesterday!

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from catfish87 for a blog entry, Port Placement Surgery
Happy Wednesday everyone. I know I haven't been active on here lately but I am back now. So how is everyone? I hope everyone is well.
Where should I begin?
This month has been a good month for me despite of me being a plateau... life has been good. I had a couple of moments this month. The one that hurt the most is when I didn't get my dream job. What is my dream job? To work in Human Resources I have a degree and experience in that field and I had my 10th interview and I still didn't get the job. I felt defeated but I got back on track. I decided to continue practicing my interview skills and keep moving forward. "Every NO! is one step closer to my YES!"
Yesterday I had my port placement surgery. This time Dr. Richardson didn't have me come in at 430AM it was 830AM this time! Once again my amazing daddy took me to the hospital. He was off at work at 630am that morning and was still able to stay with me the whole time! I have to admit I was really nervous this time around I don't know why but I was.
However I did get the biggest surprised yesterday....... I AM IN ONEDER LAND!!! (is that the right term?) I was shock was I seen the number 193.4! I was so nervous I couldn't cry. I have seen those numbers since I was 19. Wow I am still in shock!
Today I am resting I haven't got my appetite back but I am slowly drinking water. I want to do some type of exercise today but I just do want to over do it. I am so close to my high school weight!
It's nice to know that my Wii Fit was not lying to me. I am going to reward myself by going shopping for some new clothes and get me a pedi on Saturday. Besides I am on leave until Dec 2nd.
God is good and I am loving my band!

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ for a blog entry, I Am So Wrong
Happy Wednesday everyone!
I just like to say that consider myself a good and peaceful but when it come to me wanting to work out I become a BEAST!
So why am I wrong? Let me explain. I recently moved into a nice size office and my boss told me that she will be putting a float desk in there with me as a back up. It really didn't bother me because we have 10 other computers in the bulding the my co workers can used no one would used that extra desk.
I recently discovered that I can access YouTube at work and my office has enough space for me to work out. I usually walk around the buliding but since it is getting cold I decided to try working out in my office. I found Walk away the pounds One Mile walk on youtube it a 12 min video and it was perfect. I did it and felt amazing afterwards.
Okay I get straight to the point. For the last 2 day I have a co workers that been working at the spare desk in my office and I've been purposely to sweat him out. I like to be nice and warm so my office is Hot as Hell like a Sauna.
Did my plan work.....
YEP!!!! I came in this morning and he was not in my office. So now I can workout today. BAHAHA!

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, This is why I shouldn't do something out of anger.
Happy Thursday everyone! Today is a good day because there is a Cardinal Game and Blues Game tonight I am so happy!
Anyway I have a funny story I like to share with everyone.
Today I received a phone call for a job interview. I was too excited because it was more money. After I got off the phone I review my application so I can see which job I applied for and to review the job announcement.
I was halfway down the page and this is when I noticed that this position was bilingual! I am not bilingual and I failed at Rosetta Stone.
Immediately I called the person back and explained what happened. We both started laughing and he thanked me for being honest. I mean can you guys imagine how my interview could have been like? I am so glad I researched everything before my interview.
Looking back I remember I applied for this position back in August around the time my coworker/friend house caught on fire and how I go thrown under the bus. I was so upset then that turned into anger that I started applying for any position. I was so unhappy back then but now I am better
This is why I shouldn’t do anything out of anger. It’s a good thing I have a good sense of humor because I am still laughing about it. I hope I gave you guys a good laugh

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from Debbie3sons for a blog entry, Am I getting furlough?
I normally don’t get into politics but my phone will not stop ringing. And I had to stay off of Facebook because of all the negativity that is being posted.
For those who don’t know I am a federal employee. I’ve been working for the government since I was 20. I love my employer and I love working with veterans.
Today I got a letter saying after Friday I will be furlough. Am I mad? No just disappointment that we as a nation can’t get it together.
I walk by faith not by sight. So for the next 3 days I will come into work with a smile on my face and continue help and working with our nations veterans.
I hear everyone complaining about being out of work but I don’t see what their plan is.
Here is my plan:
I will try to work as many hours I can at the day care (job number 2)
Tomorrow I will call up some temp agencies and see what they can do for me.
I have to remember my situation is only temporary.
Anyway Today is my 5 month bandversary and I feel great!

LadyDiva618 reacted to dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, walking
The weather today in Boston is around 77 degrees and sunny. Tomorrow even warmer.
Lately I have been going to the gym again. I go for around 30 minutes, better than nothing.
I live about 2 miles from a community college and my husband (age 63) is now a student 2 days a week. We have one car so today I drove him. I got to the college early so I could walk around the campus. WOW-it took 10 minutes and my Fitbit said about 800 steps. I was shocked how fast the long walk was and how little steps I took. Before the band I never would have even thought about walking to the end of the parking lot, let alone walk around the building. I guess being obese you look at the picture as huge, like my body was, and not as I can do it and will do it. My husband said I should have walked around 2 times but I didn't like the area. The side walks ended and you had to walk through a parking lot with vehicles always moving. Not very safe. Before you know it wonderful winter and snow will be here and you can't walk around outside.
Enjoy this wonderful weather where ever you are. The walk is shorter than you think
It takes me 30-60 minutes to do food shopping than take a fun walk. Never thought of it like that.

LadyDiva618 got a reaction from dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, 200.8.... Say what!
I am so close to being in one hundred land... I can feel it. How is everyone? I know I haven't been active on here. But I've been emotionally drain and I just didn't feel like writing bad news on my blog. I am back on track now.
Today I met with Dr. Richardson for my follow up appointment from my surgery. I am not going to lie to you guys when I got there I was a little nervous. Why? Because this past weekend I had nothing but fried foods and the week before Mother Nature wasn't really nice to me because she made me eat chocolate! I mean half of a Butterfinger one day and the next day I had the other half. Oye on those days I made sure I burn at least 200 calories!
Anyway back to today's visit. When I had to get weighed I just looked away and when my nutritionist didn't say nothing I just thought the worse. So I start giving myself the "prep talk" while walking down to the examination room. Once we got in the he start going over my weight history then he said your current weight is 200.8 pounds. I looked at him and said Say what? He repeated it again. I was shocked and still am. I felt pretty bad because I was being a little selfish yesterday. My bestie Jon was having a bad day and I was playing the "wing women" role and was trying to find him a girl to pick up but I was too busy complaining about my calories intake and how about I was going off my healthy living lifestyle. That I absolutely failed my "wing womanly duties!"
Dr. Richardson said my incision looked fine and I will see him again next month so we can pick out my surgery date to get my port back in. My guess will be sometime in December but I will know more next month. And! He said I can do the walk for obesity walk this Saturday and I can start running again but I have to keep my incision covered. So guess what I will be doing tomorrow? Resume working on "Operation I want arms like Michelle Obama!" I probably won't resume running again until next weekend.
I text was my Bestie Jon and told hope after all the bitching I was doing last night I lost 2 pounds. He laughed congratulated me. I guess I need to calm down just a little bit because I know my support system would let me know if I need to slow down or need to make better food choices. Not only this is new to me but this is new to my support system. I still have a lot to learn but I think I got this! God is good!
Thank you for reading
Below is a pic of my coworker Kevin (he is the one on the right) He passed away 2 weeks ago. I wish have took an up to date picture with him instead of using this one. I miss him R.I.P my friend.

LadyDiva618 reacted to dylanmiles23 for a blog entry, Being Bad
I was bad with my dinner last night. But I loved every bit of it. Today is another day and I will be better. I did not over eat, I just ate the wrong things. I had 3 coconut shrimp, great bread dunked in oil and cheese pizza. The local restaurant has a great football special when the N.E. Patriots play. Yes they won!!!
On one of my other WLS groups one person spoke of her friend and by pass. The woman had by pass about 10 years ago and was doing great for a while. She is now in the hospital for revision. She stretched out her pouch and when the doctor went to sew her insides it was like cotton candy, her words not mine. The woman is on ice chips for a few days and in the hospital for at least 10 days. If that doesn't scare the S**T out of you, nothing will.
I never was a drinker. In fact the last frozen Girl Scout cookie I had I broke out into hives and never had a drink since. That was over 15 years ago. So drinking was never anything I was going to miss with my journey. I never liked fast foods and yet I was and am obese. Fast food was always a comfort food but not for me. Give me bread and more bread, ice cream. I now have bread in restaurants and maybe once or twice a month in my own house.
I think we all went into this new journey to get healthy, be thinner and move our bodies that were just sitting around. No one forced us but we need to be smarter with choices. Like CG always says, Listen to your doctor!! Listen to your dietitian and finally listen to your body.
Have a great week. October is tomorrow and before you know it Halloween. I only buy candy I hate and I hate more candies than I like. I never had a problem with buying candy. Yes, I hate Snickers!!

Why, do you get WLS, any type, and then not listen to your doctor or dietitian? Why?
When I was given the pre-op diet, I followed it to the 't' because I was afraid.
When it came to the post-op diet, I followed it to the 't', also.
When I get a fill, I am on 3 days of liquids, 3 days of mushy and then back to my regular foods. I listen to the doctor and his staff. They have been dealing with WLS for many many years.
So WHY, get the surgery and just follow your own rules??????
Think before putting the chip, the french fry, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts in your hand, let alone your mouth. If you have to have one of these, at least wait until your surgery has healed and you can eat regular foods.
People who have had the band for a while, I have had mine for almost 14 months, maybe some of us know what we are talking about. I listen to the masters, they have been here longer than me. I try to help and if I don't have an answer, I will say it.
So when you are getting wheeled into the operating room, just remember WHY, you are there. To get healthy and live longer.
Have a great night.
