Exercise will not happen tonight. I want to get the red Peterbilt out of my driveway. It's not exactly been a hit with the commander.

The plan is simple, don't binge. I still have been unable to eat until real late in the day. This usually ends up in a binge. So I will be sipping my way down the road today. Sensible dinner is in mind. I weighed this morning. I am the same weight as when I got my fill on the 2nd. Kinda a relief really. I just know I have been eating like crapo..

Hmm, I guess it IS a word after all. @@2babutterfly Well I give myself half credit. I did not binge at all today and had a small sensible dinner if Taco no shell. About 1 cup of mix. lunch today was 2 v8 juices. Don't ask about Breakfast. I don't want to make excuses about my exercise, however I will let you peak in at my life right now. It has been insane at work 6 days a week, and a friend and I are rebuilding an engine in his semi so he can get back to work. 7 hours of sleep in the last 3 nights. I am off to bed with a 2am departure time. So NO on the e-kill. Have a good night!

Note: I'm not sure that smart-alecy is a real word.. So to the teachers in the bunch..@@2babutterfly @@s_suther

I hope that does not sound too smart-alecy. But at this point that pkan is the best I got..

Plan for today.. Try to eat a sensible dinner and not binge on the way home. I would like to get 10 minutes on the elliptical.

Hey friends. I been disconnected for a bit. I am finding it tough to gain focus. I realize the last thing I need is to distance myself from support. I need a good old-fashioned beat down.

Hope you all will allow me to share a struggle. I have only recently noticed that if I get stuck and find it hard to eat anything, when I do get to get stuff through, I tend to think that I have to "make up for it". It almost always ends with me in a binge. Does anyone else find this to be true?

My band is real tight still. Yesterday I had one of the worst stuck episodes in the history of lap bands. I had to "bring er back up" I hate doing that as it usually leads to more over eating for me.I am sure I have swelling because I am tighter today than yesterday. I am going to get some juice my next stop and sip this day out.. please pray for me that I will get moving again.. moving as in getting off my dead keester..

One of our sister companies bought a company called Hess. So there has been some chances.

I was gonna visit mu mamma one day. She is in midway.. Savannah area

@@s_suther the "secret mission" was canceled. We were headed to Doraville GA and was turned back north in Knoxville. I was happy actually, I dont like being gone from the family that long. I'm that guy that can't tell the boss man "no". So I get reassigned a lot.I ate a bit easier yesterday. My bride made me egg salad for today. I ate a half cup so far and drank a tomato juice. And a boost nutritional drink. 20 min elliptical tonight no excuses.

I am still having trouble eating anything. I am headed out of town on a secret mission for work so seeing the doc is out for the week. The plan is pretty simple. Eat only when hungry and dont get stuck. I am going to get back to walking. I want 15 min elliptical tonight is the goal.

@@CrissyBat feel free to jump in. I'm sure everyone will welcome you with open arms!

Ok. It looks like we all took the day off from posting yesterday. I took a day off at work as well. It was so very nice to be off on a Saturday! It is Easter Sunday! HE IS RISEN! Jesus Christ was born to die for the sins of the world. I know that can be both easy to say and hard to comprehend all at the same time. The eternal God who is completely Holy and without ANY sin sent his only son to be born of a virgin. But is does not end there. He lived a pure sinless life. He was in all way tempted just like you and I, but he did not give in to sin. He was betrayed by one of his closest friends to be given over to the "religious" folk of that day, who then gave Him to the Romans to be beaten and crucified because they were so "religious", they could not do it themselves. As he died he cried out "It is finished!" The sacrificial system of bringing sacrifices to God was now over. Jesus Christ was the final and perfect sacrifice. The wrath of God was eased. The story continues however. On the third day, up from the grave He arose! He did not stay dead! He spent some time here on earth with his followers and then went to be with is father in heaven once again. We (sinful flesh), can now have a relationship and fellowship with the Holy eternal God of the universe. This was all made possible through Jesus. The only thing you can "do" to have this relationship and fellowship with God is to accept the free (to us) gift of salvation by grace (something you get that you do not deserve) through faith (which is also a gift granted by God). I pray that we all would embrace this truth! I wanted to share a video that defines my King, Jesus Christ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzqTFNfeDnE

@@2babutterfly thank you so much for your concern. I guess I'm just scared trying to process the fact fat I may have to have a revision. if it fails and I will be a two time loser. I did get some fluid through maybe this good things to come.

Well here we go again. I could not sleep last night I was getting choked on my own spit. This morning I got about 6 oz of water down before I completely shut off. Now I cannot get a thing through. I am getting real sick of this..

I just met with my surgeon after a few years and gaining most of my weight back. I had a major over fill in 2011 and the ER took Fluid out, I never went back until today. He put .5 cc in today and talked about a revision. Just have a few questions for those who have been through a band to GBP revision. 1. How long were you in the hospital? 2. How long were you off work? 3. Do you feel the GBP is working better for you? 4. Any regrets? Thanks in advance for any advise and input!

Well that went better than expected. He seems to think that I may be one who does not tolerate fills. He did half a cc And we will go back in 6 weeks. If I have any more issues we will likely go for a rny revision.

Well I guess I am back. It has been an interesting week and a half to say the least. Eating has been terrible. My first 5k was supposed to be last night. I gave been sick and pulled a muscle in my back. So I did not walk. It was all I could do to make it through work. The long awaited lap-band doc appt ia today and got delayed for 3 and a half hours. Emergency surgery. . But here we go.. I will post later.

I have not fallen off any wagons, friends. I have some family issues i need to work through. I may not post much fir a while. I will likely be unplugged and off the grid for a time..

Plan. 6a. 2pieces of sausage. banana. 9a. 1 cup rice chex. 1/2 cup skim milk. 12p 6 oz chicken. Banana. 3p Apple Protein bar. 30 min elliptical.

Just to clarify @@JustWatchMe @@s_suther The sandwich I split was because I forgot the cooler with our food. Another driver heard we had no food and gave up the ham n cheese. If I thought I could whip tony, I would have ate the whole thing. Lol. We are up and headed home.

I am a binge eater too. There is help and hope. I am glad you are here!
