Froggi

is it at 6 tonight? I want to go hoping I can finish this yard work and shower n come down...hope to be there

Well...I used to be on here constantly...but some certain people on here complained about me so I started to avoid the site...then I completely forgot about it and stuff...I felt like I was a failure n such cause I wasn't losing weight as fast as I thought I should but now I am doing well...losing nicely. Not exercising as much as I should but I'mgoing to try to more now that it's getting nice out. I've been trying to find a job at the moment...dealing with emotions going wild due to the band...got a new(used) car so I can actually get out of the house...I come online on myspace a lot...my url on there is froggi13 lemme know who you are and add me if you like...I've just been trying to live my life. As of today I am a bmi of 49 at the beginning of this journey it was 61.9 :frown: I'm down 81 lbs and very happy so far...only 25 since surgery but hey itsonly been almost 4 months. I feel like I am doing well now. Fitting into clothes that are 2 sizes smaller... My 3rd fill is april 6th...as of now I have 5ccs in a 10 cc standard band

I'm alive :frown: I just avoid this site...eh I talk on Yahoo messy and on myspace mostly.

I'm not losing either. I had my first fill on the 22nd of December lost a few lbs after that down to 358 and then went back up to 365 and now I'm 363. I am not exercising as much as I should though so I am going to start that more. After my fill I had quite a bit of restriction but a few days later it was gone. I've been depressed and very emotional lately due to all of this. On surgery day I weighed 363 and I still do. =/ Blah.

With 4 ccs in my band you'd think I'd be losing weight...:tongue2: I was losing for a bit got down to 358 but then I went back up to 365 and now I'm 363...wtf is goin on? I don't eat too much -.- -frustrated- I already have another fill appt made for the end of January well the 3rd week me thinks...I just wish it would seem like I had weight loss surgery. =/ I feel like a failure.

My fill wasn't until 1:15...omg he pressed all around and it hurt so bad. I have bruises form the 2 times he had to poke me. He said I had 2 ccs and he added 2 more so 4 ccs total. I definetly felt more restriction yesterday with clears...haven't really ate anything today yet...today is mushies...and tomorrow I finally start my softs. :eek: Elizabeth I am sorry about your grandpa...I lost mine at young ages. :thumbup: It's hard especially when you're close. -hugs- According to Jeannie's scale I was 365...lol but when I weighed at home I was 360...Kaplan said to go by hers...phfft I'll go by whatever one says I weigh less. I got on the scale this morning and I was down to 358...clears yesterday helped? PLUS omg I did so much walking yesterday shopping jeeze...lol. Anywho I don't get on here as much anymore...I wish you guys used yahoo messy. I am on it quite a bit. Maybe we can give eachother our numbers incase we ever wanna talk. That would be cool. Lately I have been kinda out of it cause like...if something bothers me...I used to eat...now I can't...and it's like wow...I used to depend on food to make me feel better now I have to find something else. It's odd. I haven't been exercising much...but tonight from now on I am going to walk at least 2 miles a day. Promise to myself. I need to do it. I need my life back. Anyway Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone...this time of year sucks for people like us...FOOD so much sweets...oy oy oy LOL It's gonna be hard to not have many chocolates on xmas. -must have willpower- WE CAN DO IT GUYS. :cool2:

I get my first fill tomorrow. I can't make it to support group...too much holiday crap. :tounge_smile: Meh...I finally started losing weight not much though and I am wanting to eat too much...I'm supposed to start softs tomorrow but due to the fill I'll be on liquids then mushies...my weight keeps jumping round i lose 3 lbs gain that same back lose it again so on lol so frustrating. Hoping this first fill jumpstarts more.

2 weeks post op I was down 3 lbs post op 56 before so 59 total.

I'm 10 days post op and I've gained 3 lbs lol I lost 56 lbs prior to surgery though so I think my body is just in shock. I was hoping to be down some by Monday my 2 week post op appt...but who knows. :whatchutalkingabout

PJTP - I hate cold weather.

I'm doing well. Healing nicely. I just started exercising again today well like walking for an extended period of time. Bout 20 minutes today and I got tired and dizzy. I started full liquids yesterday. As of now I am still at surgery weight which is 363 The day after surgery I had ballooned up to 374 due to IVs and such...after about 1 or 2 more days I was back down to 363 and haven't moved since then. I am hoping the scales will start to move soon. I am 8 days post op and loving it. I see my surgeon for my 2 week post op visit on Monday.

I'm 8 days post op and haven't lost ANYTHING since surgery day. Same damn weight. :cursing: -sigh-

Mine is about 2 inches above my bellybutton and to the right. Very good spot for it my pants hit well below it and it just seems like a very good spot.

I'm very upset with myself. I was getting my mom's dinner ready tonight and I took 4 bites of her soup beans and mushed them up and 4 bites of pumpkin pie all chewed up to liquids. :thumbup: I start full liquids tomorrow and I'm afraid I might have damaged my band with what I did...it didnt hurt or go down hard...did you guys cheat on post op? I told myself I wouldn't cheat and now I feel like a complete failure...I was told by Jeannie and Kaplan that I was doing so well and they were proud of me and look what I go and do. I'm so upset with myself -cry-

Susan I hope you feel better. :thumbup: We all make mistakes -hugs-

You guys...I cheated on my diet today :thumbup: I'm scared. I am 6 days post op and I start full liquids tomorrow...till then i am on clears. What I did was I took 4 bites of my moms bean soup and mushed it up really good :wink2: that's mushies and I'm supposed to be going full tomorrow not mushies...ugh I'm scared a hurt my band...did any of you guys cheat like this and have your bands still okay after years?

thanks you :thumbup:

I cheated today too I start full liquids tomorrow and tonight I tried 4 bites of mushed up bean soup chewed into liquids...:thumbup: I feel like a failure..told myself I would never cheat. -sigh-

I'm still the same weight since surgery..lol hoping the bloat and swelling go down so my weight will too lol

I have a large container of metamucil for when I do get stopped up..if ever lol

I've been on protein shakes in small amounts since day 2 of post op. It's so hard to get protein in because I am just not hungry. I get full so easily. I can't wait until Monday when I can have blended soups yummm lol and pudding

Thank you

On surgery day I was down 56 lbs and a bmi of 54 I cannot wait until I am in the 40s!
