I just wanted to post a picture here and Im trying to figure out how to do it

Welp, I forgot to weigh in this morning, duh. I did it after I got dressed and ate..so the weight was up to 217. I dunno which to believe...but I go to Dr Kwon tomorrow so we will see what that weigh in has got to say..Im learning more at work and thats helping the days go by quicker.....I still dont like working, but hey, gotta do it~~~~ Okay, my mother set up some sort of cooking schedule where by its my "turn" to cook dinner again. I dont know how that happened...

Well today was a good day. Its almost over. I did accomplish a few good things for myself. I had a shake for breakfast and lunch....I got out of the office for lunch today....came home...not so much ya can do with 1/2 hour. But over all, I am feeling better today than I have in a while. I weighed myself today. They had a segment on Good Day NY where this Fitness expert said to wake up and weigh yourself everyday and that should help keep you "true" to your diet goals better than weighing in once a week. Sooo Todays weigh in was 211.5 pounds. I sorta got away from my weigh ins and maybe that was one of the things that contributed to my passay efforts...We will start up this weigh in every day thing and see how it works... I dunno how accurate my scale is...but if it is, that means a weight loss of 61 pounds~ holy shit......I can't believe it~~~ I will compare these numbers to the numbers I get at Dr Kwons on thursday. I did do one bad thing today...I ate bread. No pain involved but carb content alone. Well, if thats the only bad thing, then accept it and move on.....could have done a lot worse. :heh:

Overnight....reaction to the anestetic...

Well today was a better day. I actually got out of the house for an hour, and walked down to the store. The best part is the store is at the bottem of a steep hill!!! And I walked it. I am going to try and do that occassionally. My stomach hurts. I dont know if I pulled a muscle the other day, I was doing crunches..or if my band is choking the hell out of me. I go back to see Dr Kwon on thursday I will discuss it with him then. Im very sleepy tonight........And its 1140 pm...I need sleep~~~:notagree

Howdee, I Had My Band With Dr Kwon And I Absolutely Love The Man~ He Is A Caring Individual And A Very Talented Surgeon. Very Pleased With Him And Everyone In The Office

EWE I COULD USE A HOT ITALAIN RIGHT BOUT NOW TOO!!! eeeewe now there is some inspiration!~~ Okay, well its 10:30 at night...way too late for me to exercise now...so I will see what I can do about some exercise tomorrow .. Its supose to ice and snow and blah blah blah, but maybe i can do one of my exercise videos that I have just sitting here.... Keri your baby sounds absolutely adorable!!! My son wouldn't push me up the step at all...he would jump on my back for a piggy back ride~~~

Wow, thanks guys. Its "nice" to know I am not in the boat alone...Humm what inspires me, what inspires me......Happy Boots, Halloween, Shopping for nice clothes, not having pain in feet/legs/knees/back any more, longer life with my son, ~Italy~ Maybe thats the reward, right there...I can not go to Italy until I learn the language enough to survive there and until I loose my weight.........hummmm theres an idea....I "ONLY" have about 50 pounds to go.......If I lose 2 pounds a week, it will take me 25 weeks to loose that 50 pounds. However, its going to take me two years to save enough money for the trip... sooo maybe the reward will be learn the language, loose the weight and maintain the weight loss till a certain date, after I save the money for the trip.....hey, that maybe a plan~~~~ Sooo I can go to Italy, lookin all sexy in the Happy Boots~~~well, I all ready look sexy in the happy boots.....:thankyou:

I dont know why it happens, but it happens to me with every diet/weight loss program/exercise program I have ever been on. I am all sorts of gung ho about things, and I get amazing results then once I hit the same mark with a weight loss of 50 pounds or more, I fizzle out...the enthusisim and ambition that I started out with is gone....And this holds true still. I had surgery, was very fortunate to get it.....I was making awesome progress, keeping on tract with everything and sticking to the letter. I lost 55 pounds and now....ththththththup...(thats me giving a raspberry) I get very passay about my diet, I dont exercise...I dont know if I just figure AHH I lost enough....or AHHH I dont have to do this any more....or what the deal is....but I am at one of them fizzled out spots, and I still have a way to go till I meet my goal. I am just soooo not into a food jouranl, and exercising and water.....its passed its glory with me....and I dont know how to get that enthusism back....I can say Im tired, or I have been thru sooo much that I am overwhelmed...blah blah blah....but I am my first priority and I just dont know how to rediscover that committment once its gone. Anyone else feel that way? I use to be faithful with my weigh ins...I was soo proud of my accomplishments....I would call my father every Sunday with the weigh in, now ~ Not so much.....I find myself sneeking more and more of the things I can't/shouldn't have~~~ I have just lost it. Wheres my spark?

EWE IM CRANKY TODAY! I dunno why, PMS perhaps, I dunno but I am ugly today~~ I just wanna eat today and thats making me feel worse~ i am feeling NO restriction today. I gotta go to the doctor on Thursday and he will more than likely want to fill me....but Im scared of that~ I just got to a point where EVERYTHING isn't getting stuck. Ah just tooo much to think about right now. We will see what happens when I get there :mad:

I finished my first week of work....It went pretty good. I dunno if I will ever get the hang of it, but it will come. I dont like change too much. Thats what these last few months have been about though, change. I gotta get on some sort of exercise program. I know thats whats going to make the difference for me. I have slowed down so much on weight loss that I dont know if I will meet my goals within a year. I dunno. We will see. I gotta get back on some tract. I know with work, I have been on more of a routine and thats always good... :mad:

Cheri~ All I gotta say girl is be careful what ya wish for ~ it aint easy being me~:eek: You will get there too 16 is an awesome accomplishment and I am very proud of it, but it was like what, six-seven months for me to get there...Give yourself time and stick to it....You will get there...and as far as Italy is concerned, thats a LOOOOONG RANGE goal!! hehehehe I wanna get there within two years~ QueenBee...thanks for your condolences...they were good people. I was about 60 miles away from the city that day not feeling an ounce of saftey, but surely safer than some people were that day....They are missed~ The job is actually pretty cool! I am going to be trainned on several different lines of business...which is good cause I took like 4-5 calls today and was on the phones for 7 hours!!! Its nice because I am still technically in trainning.....but I need more stimulation than that!!! I was able to do some mail orders too, so that wasn't toooo bad. We will be handeling the account for Triangle Magazines...Its an "alternative" lifestyle magazine with several different publications like Out Magazine, and a few others I cant remember the names to....The Advocate is another....I heard them quite often today as I just sat there listening to the other BUSY reps around me.... Wish I would have been busy~ One day I guess, one day...shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth~

LIBERTY sorry i missed support group the other night. i got tons going on and just cant seem to get out of the house, or anywhere that i should be on time....you know the drill!!! one of these days i will end up there. i miss going. Dana...GOOD LUCK to on your journey~~~~

Hey there QueenBee....... Nope, unfortunately we wont be co-workers. I am working on an account for Marvel Comics. I asked if I could dress up like Wonder Woman and take calls, but that didn't go over too good....sorta was told to wait till Halloween for that That would be sweet though if we could have been co workers~ The last time I worked at a call center it was for Empire BlueCross BlueShield. We had just moved our corporate head quarters to the World Trade Center in NYC. I had to call people there all the time...our Fraud and Abuse center was there....Once the World Trade Center wasn't there any more, the displaced workers that survived had to be farmed out to other locations. We got I think 30 workers from the Trade Center. We lost 9 employees. Its going to be weird working in a call center again. Im looking forward to it though. I haven't worked in 7 months.....I haven't worked full time in ohhh SIX years!!!

AHHH I found your post, I have been looking for this one for an hour because I think I found something that may be helpful for you, if you haven't found it all ready http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9822&highlight=plateaus Check out that thread.....theres a diet plan in there.... PHEW...Good luck to you

eheheheh glad you like the poo idea....muahahaha stick with me, ill getcha in trouble with the rest of the family OR at the very least arrested!!! eeewe wouldn't it be a great experience to get the whole family in on the poo adventure. hubbie can carry the poo, you can light the bag of poo and the little ones can bring the Toilet paper to throw thru her trees~ muahahahahahahaha oh that would be the ultimate revenge. tell the little ones that gramma wants to cover her trees for the winter...they are cold ehehehehehe IM KIDDING... I would never do that~~ I might shrink wrap her entire car so she couldn't get in it, but I would never poo her door step....eheheheheh oh Im kidding......I wouldn't get my kid in on it too...or would I :evil:

Hey All....I was talking about a new goal in my life in this thread http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=153422&posted=1#post153422 And that goal is to go to Italy. I got a tour package from Perillo Tours for $4129.00 on the black out dates. This is an all inclusive tour and tours the following cities: Palermo 2nights, Agrigento 1night, Taormina Lido 3nights, Sorrento 3 nights, and Rome 3nights. Its a fourteen day first class fully escorted tour~~~ FANCY STUFF...But my main point of interst is Palermo....My fathers family immigrated from there and I would love to just go there and see and explore. Im sure if I did the flight and hotel seperate that would be much cheaper. I want to take my son and shopping money of course, we are talking about $10,000.00!!!! And going back, we would spend only two nights in Palermo~~~ Palermo is Sicily's Capital.....sooo Im sure theres tons of things to see there...and experience there.... Anyone here ever been to Italy? How have you gone? Did you do the group tour or did you venture off on your own? I would like the safty of a group tour, but would love to come and go as I please!!! Hummmmmm I have time to figure it out. I dont have an extra 10 grand laying around that I have to deside on right now....but just doing my homework thats all. HEY I would have to get a pass port too! I dont have one of them!!!

Thanks Emily......It is a very exciting time. I can't wait to see whats around the corner~ I have been dying to go to Italy. I got a tour package from Perillo Tours...and o mahgod.....expensive as all get out~ I dont see the Italy trip happening any time soon, but its something to absolutely look forward to. The trip that I want to take.....Palermo for 2 nights, Agrigento for 1, Taormina Lido for 3, Sorrento for 3 and Rome for 3nights starts at $4,129.00~~~ WHOA....But thats an all inclusive price. Soo in reality.....I dunno...Worth it, to me it would be. But I am planning on bringing my son and shopping money so we are talking $10,000.00 almost!!! I think if I just booked a flight and did my own thing it would be a lot cheaper, but then again, I dont know where Im going in Italy....hey, may be an interesting way to meet a single Italian man willing to move to the states...ehaa~~ My main point of interest is Palermo...thats where my family immigrated from and I would love to go back there just to see. I want to see the people, the architecture, the food....gosh...just one more thing to look forward to.....New job is going to help me reach this goal.

I sent my husband out to get one of them prop up pillows...I dunno the name of them.....They have high backs and arm rests on the sides... I wasn't able to get up once I laid down, it was VERY difficult and being in the upright position really helped. I just used that and one pillow and it was all good. Or I slept in the recliner. IM SOOO EXCITED FOR YOU

Welcome ~ Good luck to you~ I love your Avatar!!!
