  1. sorry , it's been awhile

    It;s been awhile since i've posted. I have been away from my computer. I hate winter time we had a bad snow storm followed by an ice storm and then more snow. I did not get to the dr. for my fill on the 28th of jan so I'm sched. for the 25th of feb my bandster hell has been prolonged by a month. I have extreme hunger trying to keep meals to 1/2 cup some days I'm successful, some days not so much, I have lost 23 lbs since dec.29th so I'm o.k. with that. I have a hard time getting in all the liquids and not always sure about the protien. But for sure staying away from carbs and fat.:thumbup:
  2. Feeling the Blues

    I don't know if it's winter or an after surg thing, but I am grumpy everyday! My weightloss has ground to a halt. I have tried some mushies then tried to eat chicken chili. as per dr suggestion, the scale has stopped moving! I have increased my activity and even did 15 mins of a exercise dvd. On saturday when I woke up my abdomen area ached:tt1: and I was in the worst mood:thumbdown:I did some housework and then I decided to just go back on liquids and puddings and jellos and Protien shakes but, I'm so depressed I don't even want to eat that. I feel like I just should not eat at all.I do feel like I am starving all the time:angry:I did not expect to feel like this. I wil be getting a fill on the 29th. I thought getting this thing would give me restriction and satiety. I am really hating this I hope it's just a phase.:thumbdown:
  3. a good day!

    Today was a good day! I went to the Dr. and he said everything seemed to be o.k. so he said I can eat mushies for a week and then try some reg food as tolerated.Then on the 29th I will probably get a fill. So far so good. The first 2 weeks were really hard being on liquids but it was so worth it. I have lost 18 pounds I hope to never see again! Now I can start my exercise again that is a real stress buster that I have been misssing!
  4. my journey by sharsing

    I not quite sure how this blog thing works so here I go. I was banded on 12/29/08 in northern ky. Everything went o.k.:smile: Now it is 11 days on a liquid diet, I am hating this part as i guess most do.:cool2: Monday I have an appt wirh the Dr. I hoping then I can start on more pureed foods. I have been very faithful to this process. I am afraid to start pureed foods because i might eat too much.:frown:Today i did a little exercise (walking dvd) for about 20 min and worked on installing new camera software for new cameras. a big part of this initial period is keeping busy mentally cuz I'm not so much into the physical yet. Today my energy is low and I think I am having heart palpatations(anxiety).
  5. making some progress

    Wow i didnt realize how long it has been since I posted. So far I have had 5 fils. I'm around 6 cc in my realize band. It feels o.k. I am feeling some restriction but it is hard for me to eat really solid foods, no pb just dont feel so good after. As for the weight loss I am down about 40lbs but it fluxtuates a pound or so. I do not get on the scale everyday and the only number I take seriously is the on ate the Dr's. My original Dr. left and I have a new one now He's o.k. I miss my other dr. I am still talking to my daughter's friends mom every few weeks she has lost about the same amount of wt. We are going to get together and do some walking. Right now I am working on cleaning out my basement which I had neglected for so long.Thats where I exercise and I need to make it a pleasant place to be.
