About Me

  • Biography
    I am 34 with 3 4 legged children. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and I have now topped out at 235! I have lost hundreds of pounds throughout my life and always gained it back. I am so excited and nervous about my lapband surgery.

  4. my last fill was in June and I have been great until about 2weeks ago... I can easily eat a cup to a cup and a half of food and I'm scared of stretching my pouch. In the evening is when I can eat the most and yes, I feel way hungrier than ever before. Just trying to stay calm til my fill on the 28th!:thumbup:

    My weight loss is at a stand still right now... I am trying to up my exercise. My next visit is on the 24th but to be honest I think I need another fill now. But, I'm going to wait it out.

    Wii Fit

    I absolutely LOVE my Jillian Michael's game... it takes awhile to get the hand of it, but, once you do... WHAT A WORKOUT!!! you have to pump arms hard and fast/shift weight back and forth fast and hard and be in sync just right or it doesn't work... took me a long time to get the hang... but, now,that I know how to get it working, it's great... I work up a huge sweat with it! Sorry some of you hated it... I also have the Wii Trainer which is a great game too... no need for the fit if you don't have it... like having your own trainer/workout partner.

    I get my fill today!

    I was filled yesterday and boy was I worried for NOTHING... it was a breeze... I hardly felt the stick of the local anesthesia... and felt NOTHING after that... easy pie! I am on clear liquids until later today and can have shakes up until later tomorrow and then on to soft foods.. I soo hope this helps me feel fuller... I was in bandster hell for sure... I only got 1cc... doc said didn't want to choke me off all at once and I go back March 24th... but, you better believe if I am eating too much, I will be back before that.

    Well, I am down 19.5 pounds since I started... however, right now I think I'm in Bandster Hell... I am sooo hungry. Hopefully I get a fill Thursday when I see the surgeon... I have been eating high protein high fiber and nothing is doing the job (for long anyway) other than that... I feel great. I was keeping to 1000 calories a day until the past 2-3 days... I have hit 1200 just because I'm so hungry!:tongue2:
  10. I love my Wii fit as well!!! I have the Fitness Coach, but have not used it yet, maybe I will try tonight. I also love the Jillian Michaels... it takes awhile to figure it out... if you don't do it just right and hard enough, it doesn't work... whew, what a workout for something different anyway. Tip on the ski jump... squat down and lean slightly forward... try to keep your dot (in the upper right hand corner) as close as you can on the blue dot... as you go down the hill.. then right before before you hit the red line... STRAIGHTEN your legs quick, fast and hard... keep leaning forward trying to stay in the "blue dot area"... hold it, hold it, hold it~!!!! This is my favorite!!! (I'm the best in my household and amogst friends)
  11. Thanks girl! Everything went well! I am up and moving around like you wouldn't believe! Even taking our little Yorkie on daily walks, and I'm thinking about going back to work Monday, so we'll see! That's awesome that you ride! I have two bikes a Honda VFR 750 and a Kawasaki ZX-9R, I LOVE them! It's a small world!

     

    Hope things are going well, keep me posted on your progress!!

    My gas pain only lasted a day or so. I am now almost completely pain free... I have been drinking coffee, water, shakes, strained soup and popcicles... i can't wait to have some mushies
  13. I seem to be doing lots better right now, I don't think I really even need the pain pills anymore. Thanks for your support... I can't wait to be filled... how did that go for you?

  14. Hi! How did your surgery go? I met with Dr. McEwen yesterday and had my first fill. Isn't he great? I know you are probably thinking "why did I do this?" right after having the surgery. But trust me, it gets better! email me if you need anything! Kelli

    I slept all day yesterday and that is NO joke... pretty much just got up to take my meds... today I am feeling quite a bit better. I was able to get down 600ML of water yesterday... sipping on some lukwarm coffee right now. Really glad that I'm not hungry... YET:eek:
