    so I went in this morning to weight in to start the process over, I knew i was short. So i wore my baggy pants cause more material, ate a number two meal from wendys, and manged my cell phone in my pocket. I have to be 40% bmi and I came in at 39.9%! lol so i have to come back in monday morning to do this damn thing. I almost said for get about it that simple and then i benged on chinese food and was like omg omg omg i need this damn thing cause there is no way i would have managed that with the lap band. Not to mention this drastic measure is going to give me the kick in the butt that i need to hit it hard core more than what i am now... so monday it is. I just hope i dont take a big bath room break before hand lol lol sorry if thats tmi.. love u banders and i cant wait to join the family

    HEY ALL, WELL THIS IS TESTED AND APPROVED BY ME!
    DURRING THE WEIGHT LOSS I DID ON MY OWN I WOULD ALWAYS NOTICE MY SKIN IN MY UPPER ARMS THEY WOULD CREAS A LITTLE DUE TO BEING SAGGY SO I WENT ON A MISSON TO FIND SOME LOTIONS THAT REALLY WORK AND HERES WHAY I FOUND. WHEN I USED THIS COMBINATION I AND MY MAN WOULD NOTICE A HUGE DAY AND NIGHT DIFFRENCE IN ONE APPLICATION SO I WOULD REAPPLY WHEN EVER I WOULD LOSE MORE AND THE SAGGY WOULD COME BACK..

    DAILY USE PALEMERS CO CO BUTTER FOR PREGNACY AND WEIGHT LOSS, AND THEN ON THE TOUGH SPOT US BATH AND BODY WORKS BRINGING UP THE REAR!! I SWEAR BY THIS STUFF EVEN MY BEST FRIEND IN FLORIDA HAD THE LAP BAND AND LOST ALL HER WEIGHT REALLY TO FAST THROUGH MAJOR MILITARY LIKE WORK OUTS. AND SHE ALREADY HAD PLANS FOR TUMMY TUCKS AND BREAST AUGS. SHE FINALLY TRIED AND IS NOW SATISFIED WHERE SHE ISNT UBSESSD WITH COSMETIC SURGERIES ANY MORE. OH ONE MORE THING WATER AND HYDRATION IS KEY TO OUR SKIN LET ME KNOW HOW U LIKED IT....:blushing::wink::thumbup:

    I got a call from the dr's office this morning saying that I dont have to restart over, i just need to re weigh in. Then go from there. NOW the biggie is my mom had a turn of fate temporarily. She said kellie I know you can do this on your own. You went from 264 to 215 with just eatting out of a coffee cup! Well so that got my hopes up again and Ive been doing just that this past week. I was weighin in at 211 but i think thats just cause im considered empty. lol So now that this ball is rolling again Im really trying to fight from the idea of i can do it on my own. This has happend to me twice and well I never made it on my own Im still in the two hundreds. Has any one felt like this before?

    By fitflab25,

    Okay so i finally called back and they said i had to start over again. My first consletation is April 9th, I can get my surgery that month if I wish N im going to do it. I just need help with my fear of surgery ppl!!! Ivenever been under the knife or even a tooth pulled. I admit the fear of surgery and being judged is my worst fears, im not affraid of dieing or nothing just the pain. THe pain of ppl making fun of you having this surgery only my mom, one friend here and this guy im talking to will know about it.. The guy im talking too we have been talking for about 2 months now but known each other longer. We got talking about it with my best friend in FL and he said why dont you do it? we discussed more and he made me feel sooo much better...

    For the past 3 nights Ive been dreaming about this whole thing. Like this past time I dreamed that I was about to have it and I had to use the restroom then all of the sudden it took me forever to clean the toilet, there were tons of people crowding the waiting room. Like Im in line at a spa just making another order. So by the time im finally able to use the restroom an announcment comes over calling my name. So I say forget it i need this done, by the time i make it through the crowd Im in my room the doc has cancled me!!! Refuses to do it and reschedule.. Whats this all about? Ive been telling my self every time doubt comes across my mind that I do need this I need it really really bad, Ive bounced up and down up and down with my weight all my life I need a steady point now, I need my career now... Did any one have to keep convinving them selves to keep doing this? Or have weird dreams? I feel like I need to convince my self cause I slip back in to dream world of maybe just maybe Ill lose the weight on my own this time? I know i wont succeed on my own for sure even though i dropped 46 pounds on my own and maintained it a year now but i cant get passes this point grrrrrrrrrr

    God im a PIG!!!!

    By fitflab25,

    :w00t:
    :wub:I just ate a whole pack of bertolli 10 minuet pasta meal in the bag. One bag serves 2 people and i ate the whole thing by my self with out any second guesses or thoughts. My stomach dont even feel full really slightly maybe but thats it.. I am totally embarrased to eat in front of ppl for this fact, any one agree? I cant wait to get bandded and actually eat like girl dose not a freaking foot ball player. You know the last time i met up with my man five months ago, we went to the maccaroni grill and he orderd a huge plate and u know the normal portions they serve are enough to last a bandded person a week. Well we spent the night at a hotel for 24 hours ( military we meet in the middle) And i just ate the meat of the pasta it was shrimp and chicken.. and went hungry the rest of them time and drank water to shut my stomach up... The next morning we ate at mc Donalds and he ordered two breakfest burritos and i lol the fruit and wal nut salad lol and after we parted and i stopped crying enough to relize my stomach was yelling obsenities i pulled over and got a value meal at mc donalds... My eatting is so embarrasing, any one feel me?????

    Okay so I talked to my friend in FL who had this done this time last year. She just told me that she is stuck at about 150 something at 5'3 -5'2 or so. She has to reach 115 or something like that. Well she told me that if she dosent hit the 100 pounds lost mark her insurence will get on to her about it? That sounds crazy to me, because 20 pounds over weight is way better than 100 pounds. So is this possible or true?

    Also I am going to re weigh in this week about Wensday, and going to wear a ankle weight, cause come on 2 friggin pounds off omg you can just write that in. Well when I finally get this weighn in down I wonder what will happen after I am approved and I lose some weight like 15 pounds due to the liquid diet ect? Tell all peeps i trust u like that


  11. fitflab25
    I read blogs and they confuse me sometimes. About dieting and so forth? So whats the band tool really ment to do, if we gotta fight mental food cravings and what types of food we eat. Isnt this what we need to do to lose weight with out the band. So where dose the band being a tool come in to play? I am a heathly eatter, but I eat alottttt like a few days ago i was at this guys house i am talking too and he cooked some rice and beef kinda like chinese. He put only enough to fit on a saucer plate!!!!! This fat girl looked at that and thought omg omg a mouse to stomach all this!!! So I eat it slowly as possible and with much water to be temporarely satisfied. By the time i left I was starving again after like 2 hours the first MC D's i saw i was there!!! So tell me if Im wrong, I want this band because i need help with my portions and hunger. I look at what i eat in size compared to others and Im embarassed. Am i on the right path here?

    So im keeping this surgery a secret except for my mother and a select other few.. How ever when every your under the sheets with that special some one they are bond to notice. What can I say i had surgery for to get around the fact untill Im ready to expose that truth? Gullbladder, female issue, what else??? Any ideas..:willy_nilly:


  13. fitflab25

    Well as of today Im currently weighing in at 218! Yeah Ive lost some weight on my own but it shouldnt take two years do lose about 45 lbs on your own!! Ive been to 3 surgeons seminars, one gastric bypass and two lap bands. A week from tomarrow Mon 22 of sept 08 I was at a Woodbridge, Va Lap Band surgeons office to qualify. I missed it by 5 pounds so went in the following thursday after eatting what I call a normal breakfest and hit the numbers on the spot! Now currently waiting on the insurence to say yay or nay... The past gatric bypass thing, believe it or not I was litterally lying in the hospital bed and about to get the white stuff. But I panicked cause I was left in a room all alone and never had surgery before in my life! Not even a freaking tooth pulled!! That was in Louisiana May of 2005. I then gained a extra bit of weight taking me up to 264!!!! January of 2007 I decided to try and figure out a way to shrink my own stomach, so I forced my self to eat only out of a coffee mug only one and when my stomach grawled like mad crazy! It was horrible and all but after 2 weeks it worked and weight started falling off. Ive lost a total of about 45 pounds since thing just by portions and working out in the gym for at least 2 hours at a time!!!!! But here at 218 Im at that point where my weight dosent want to go no where! Im so tired of this struggle not being able to dress like I want to for my age, go clubbing and dressing hot! I have no kids and not married so I shouldnt be dressing like hillary clinton! But Im just a jeans and t shirt gal, I find that t shirts hide that roll real good and show just enough of the booty. I work security for the federal Gov, but my goal is to be Federal Gov police for the Dept of the army, I just need to be in shape and look the part and in the civian military theres no stero type police officers! So yea this weight is a burden on my career also. Im deciding to face my fears becasue of my girlfriend in FL she had the surgery done in May and OMG what a a transformation from then to now!!! Im so jelous of her!! She so hot and sexy now, her and her hubbys relationship is like the fourt of the july she goes to clubs and wears all the hottest outfits. I want that confidence so bad!!! I hate it when Im having bedroom time with my man, anything with my stomach grosses me out!!! He maybe not catch it but it totally ruins the mood for me mentally and that ruins it all for most females in that department. My weight god it holds me back in so much!!! I need to let it go so I can let go and free my self!!!
    Now to list my fears of this if it happens:
    1
    Just it being surgery in general never had it b4.
    2
    Pain, Im tough and can handle alot of it but how much dose this bring.
    3
    Scars! How noticle are they? Do they shrink as we lose weight, dose mederma scar softner help it?
    4
    lose skin, ive yo yoed for so long!
    5
    will my portions be majorly noticable for those that dont know i have this!

    My you tube video blog

    By fitflab25,

    Hey every body I started my video blog on youtube for my lap band surgery Im going to be very very detaild about everything. Add me if you would like.. heres the link..

    So Im sure you guys and gals can see that i go back and forth with this idea! Right? Well I tell you this, past weekend was retarded in portions and eatting and what not. I had a four day weekend and I didnt get to see my one true love 12 hours aways (both military, hes the soldier though) So i was board out of my mind, i ate sushi 3 rolls, a salad and miso soup. I had more the next day, and this morning omg I bought a box of freaking smore pop tarts not the normal box but the bigger ones, and i ate one pack on the way home, then 2 more just chilling then went to buy me a new lap top and cause it was morning, i saw mc donalds and got a steak egg and cheese bagle with the hash brown, not cause i was hungry cause i craved it!!! what the heck?? Now I know with this band it will stop me from over eatting like that for sure! Then by the end of the day guess what no more pop tarts!!!! RRRRRRRRRRRRR i hate my self for that crap! I do I do I doooo....... so i finally saw some scares of laproscopic surgeries one for gastric bypass one for lap banding. My friend in florida that had it done in April her scars look the worse cause she said something about her being italian and the what her blood dose to them?? Made them red and thick looking? Even her heart surgery scar is like that. Well any ways, on another note I talked to the schedule lady and there are a few days i can choose from. The surgeries are done on tuesdays and thursday, if not wensdays I forget. So this is the deal, I get one four day weekend a month Friday, sat, sun, monday. Then I get 2, two days tuesday and wensday's. Now Im armed security for the military on midnight shifts, i barely do anything except for when on post two where i gotta make a long round a 20-30 minuet walk basically 2 times that night, then a 5 minuet walk ever other hour. So my question is could I get this surgery on a two day weekend use one leave day and make it three and be mostly comfertable to do that minimal work? im proubaly going to do it on the wensday that way I can use leave for the thursday and have 5 days off.. I think thats going to work better. Now another thing is I can have it early Oct if I do the two days off or other wise i gotta wait till the end of the month for my four day. If any one can show some insight on this let me know..

    Okay well for those of you who been keeping tabs on me know that Im keeping this a secret one cause ppl know i work out like crazy and my sudden weight loss will not be a surprize to them the will think wow she found the missing link!! But how ever Im in a long distance military relitonship, and Im hiding it from him untill totally neccassary. Like we get married and he needs to know medically. One for the fact that when we met I was super skinny and two he is a soldier so i hear him talk of his soldiers badly for getting out of shape!!!! He never gives me any reason to feel badly about my weight at all! He always said more to love but he knows how it bugs me... Any ways So my girlfriend in florida said her and her hubby were lying on the couch cuddling and he felt a knot on her waitst and freaked out like what is that!!! He knew of the surgery but he port poked out like knot!!! So WHERE IS THE BEST LEAST NOTICABLE PLACE TO HAVE IT ?????
  19. fitflab25
    1- Do people see dramatic results in your portions like to the point its freaky? Im scared that Ill go eat with some one and they think im annorexic lol?
     
    2- whats the average weight loss for the first month of being banded when you work out 4-5 days a week?
     
    3- can you balance your weight loss to a certain weight like i was really comfertable at 150- still had my hips and booty, ect I dont want to be stick thin I dont think so any ways?
     
    4- how you deal with the changing of clothes sizes? Just wear stuff till they fall off or buy an out firt or twoo to carry u through?
     
    5- how soon can you work out?
     
    6- how long it usually take for your incisions t totally heal?
     
    Sorry these are stupid questions but ive never had surgery before and I am to excited to be normal soon again.....

    Well today I finally got ahold of the lady to make a schedule for the surgery. She said we schedule the surgery then work back from there and on backwards. So she listed me some dates and neither of them go with my work schedule, and it look like it will be around Nov when I can make it happen. She also said I will be staying in over night also thats just there proceedure. Honestly right now Im asking my self have I really done all that I think I can do to lose this freaking weight, is there a real possability that I can do it on my own?? Im so uncertain about so many things Iim considering just not getting it done and try some more on my own. After all I made it this far on my own?

    THanks for reading

    2008 has been a major turning pointe in my life, it all started in 2005. I left my husband at the age of wow I think 23! While he was in a range shooting practice. I couldnt take him no more he just tore me down and him flirting and gods only knows what else. I didnt have a proublem with im being a soldier, but i had proublems with him not comming home untill 11pm and not calling me once all day long. So I dont have kids and Im deffinatly miss indipendent. I get my own place and live as seperated for a year and 9 months untill he found out he got another pregnante and needed to marry to get the army to payfor it.. So I divorce in Sept of 06.. He remarried a week later, well needless to say Its been crazy and Ive learned what marriage is about even more. Durring this time i totally lost my self, my goals, dreams and ambitions but yet met the love of my life. Well after my divorce I decided that im 26 no kids and got a good head on my shoulders, ect... Its time to get back to whome I was before i got married and make up for lost time.. In this time I raised my credit 4 hundred some odd points. Completed a Ohio police academy and got hired Dept of Army Security and moved to Virginia just below DC.. Now that I got my careeer on track and getting my finances back in order as well talking to the love of my life again and we are getting back togeather again. The only thing out of place is my body image, im not comfertable in my own skin!!! I got all this stuff togeather except my weight that I gained durring my marriage of hell.. Ive lost around 40 some pounds on my own n the time passing but thats through the unhealthy ways and deffinatly need to lose around a hundred more!!!! I cant wait till turnning point of my life on Jan 20th 2009
    I need this to complete me!!!!!!!

All I have to do now is schedule a suregery date for what I gathered. I told the nurse Ill call them back to do that cause i was half a sleep! Im to excited but reality hit that im actually doing this so the little fears kicked in again.....

Well now im excited to call and get a date to make a time line of when I can start living like a real 20's aged women! Not to mention move to that last point of my career of being actual dept of army police!!! Ill keep ya posted

    :angry_smile::cursing::cursing::cursing::eek:Well I was tryin again for the past two months to do this on my own.. But nothing I lost 8 pounds by starving my self and then I had 2 weeks on duty out of my area in new hampsier, I gained it all back!!!! I give up i need this done. I have my career and that one last step to my career dreams but the weight is the wall between us. I Have the love of my life back after two years apart and he knew me when i as at my smallest, I know we are going to marry one day and I want to look hella hot as we did when we first met!!! I need this done I need this done years ago so i don have to worry for this and that damn scale. BTW who said not weighing your self helps paleezze a day me not weighing my self lol wow ill fall back and not know it and totally depressed when i finally step back on the scales.... Ill be scheduling the surgery date tomarrow and Im taking the first day I get available, I have 3 days leave saved up So that should be good to go with work...
  24. fitflab25
    So I went in and weighed at 224, I know this isnt fat cause i havent went to the potty in a few days. I gotta be 226 to qualify. So Im and going to buy some ankle weights. and go that route. Also the great news is that they no longer to the nutritionalist fee of 725. You only have to pay 300 dollars for the two week liquid diet shakes if you even have to be on the liquid diet at all. I dont think I have to be on that thankfully. So Ill be back this Thursday with ankle weights and a smile on my face cause I know Ill make it this time.

Im not working out till i weight in i have to be 220 and right now after a trip to the potty i am 215. Dressed lightly.. Ive been looking at POlice Jobs in florida ect cause i just miss the heat. Once i get this surgery and hit 170 Ill deffinatly have the confidence to apply for them. I hope to get this surgery this month any one willing to donate money let me know lol for the nutritionalist fee. lol kidding..
    I want to so badly be in uniform and not looked like a typical doughnut eatting cop. I am hopeing to get hired on a department before June also or else i have to go through the police academy all over again. My dream as a police officer is to be a FIT FEMALE WHERE the fellow male officers can feel confident in let me have their back.... I got tough skin, i love working out already i can only imagine how fit i will look and be once this fat falls off and i train the same way if not harder!!! I cant wait ahhhhhhh 7 more days till the consultaiton..
