No that's not crazy that u can feel yourself losing weight. When Im doing my workouts really good and I put my hand on my hips the next day. I can tell I have lose inches, then I will get on the scale I have seen that I was right. I lost weight.

I was wondering when u come back to work. I go back Tuesday so I will c you Wednesday. Call me tonight if you can. If not tomorrow. I want to hear more on how everything went. Remember dont send any text messages untill I get my new phone. C u at work Wednesday.

Sound like u had a great workout! LOL

U sound like me. I call it being on a roller coaster. That's what I wrote in my blog. When did you get banded? Doctors do the first fill in about six weeks......well that's how my doctor does it. Everyone is different. But sound like u r doing great! Keep up the good work patti!!

Oh and by the way.....come up with a cute name for my band. I just brought GPS navaigter and I name her Ge-ge. (I'm tired of getting lost) So i think that is sooooo cute the way u name your band.

This journal has touched my heart the most. I understand how u feel. I didn't want to tell anyone because what if I gained the weight back later. (Then I really would be a failer) What if I don't lose as fast as the other person and people look at me and think Im losing to slow and being lazy. I have all those thoughts and more. Some people at work know...because I have a coworker that just gotten banded. And another co worker that's gonna get banded. That made me feel better because I see Im not alone. Don't ever think u r a failure. U have done great!!!

I am reading your blogs! I saw your text message where you lost 5 lbs. I couldn't text message you back. I have to order a new phone. My light went out in my phone so don't send anymore text messages. (if you do...i wont b able to c them) Hopefully I will have my new phone Tuesday. If you need me call. Congrats on losing your 5 lbs.

congrats......I had my surgey oct 29 and lost 30 lbs

I wanted to lose three lbs by last Wednesday. I didn't lose any. The reason was because we had to go to Ocala, Flordia to visit my father. We always stay at Days Inn and they have a wafflemaker and the waffles taste great. Also we ate at McDonalds a lot. I did good the first few times ordering a salad....then my husband ordered Papa Johns pizza.:tt1: The good thing is I brought my Slim n six workout and I workout out. So when we came home Wednesday I still weighed 203. I weighed myself today and I lost the three lbs. I am now 200. :thumbup: I did it....just not on my timeline. Also today I brought the Wii Fit....I been playing it for about an hour and I love it!!

Once you switch to intaking under 30 carbs. How long did your body crave it? That's the problem I am having. My body craves it like I'm a drug addict. When I try to do low carbs. So I just lowered my calorie intake, but I do want to give low carbs another try.

U LOOK GREAT!!!!

Last week I lost 5 lbs. This week I lost 4 lbs. I weigh 203. I lost 26 lbs. I don't know how many inches I've lost but I can tell I lost a good amount. I have a few non scale victories. I wore a suit yesterday I couldn't wear in over a year. I have my daughter pants on today. :crying: So now I get to dig in the closest and pull out all the old clothes. :sleep::thumbup::w00t: Also I am doing a really good job staying off the roller coaster. And I am a lot better at being consistant with my workouts. (read my previous blog) I see a big different with the changes I've made. :scared2: My goal next week is to lost 4lbs at least, by Wednesday (that's my days I weigh myself) so I can be under the 200 mark. My future goals are by April 15 if I'm 180 lbs or lighter I will get my belly button pierce. When I reach my 150 goal I will get a tatoo on my back.

Every pound I lose I tell him and as always he saids, that's good honey, u look great. U know those auto lines they say but u know they really can't tell. Well Saturday he did a double take and said U really is slimming down. Wow u look great. I was so excited....I said about time u said it and meant it. I told him my feelings wasn't hurt but I can tell he really meant it this time. :blushing::wilted_rose::thumbup: Saturday me and the kids went skating with a friend and her kids. We skated from 1:30 to about 4:30. I burned some really good calories. Also I did my workout before I went skating. I said on weekends instead of lying around and watching tv and sleeping all day. I'm going to start doing more active stuff with the kids. Next weekend if its not too cold I will go bike riding. :thumbup::heart::eek: For some reason with the lap band. Some days I can go a long time without eating. Other days I can eat like I haven't been banded. (I can't overeat though but I can eat more) Has anyone experience that? Leave me a comment and let me know.

So far I been eatting around 850 calories. :blushing::willy_nilly::thumbup: Since I heard that sodas can streched your band. I have not had a Code Red Mountain Dew. Thanks julieann, that sure did scare me straight:w00t:. (I needed that girl) :eek::heart::heart: Well I don't have much to say but my new walking buddy I have at work that I like so much. She lost her job, so I'm back with my other walking buddies. I made a promise Im not going to let them slow me down, I'm committed to losing this weight.:thumbup:
