  1. Happy 42nd Birthday Mikissa!

  2. Happy 41st Birthday Mikissa!

    4 months in and 51 lbs down

    It's been four months and I've lost 51lbs. I feel like it's sorta slow but it's really not that bad.

    Three months in and 40lbs down

    I feel like my weight loss has been slow but when I actually count it up, it's not too bad. I knew it would be slower than the gastric bypass which seemed too radical to me. I've really tried the past few weeks to get to the 40 lb mark. 50lbs is my first real celebration goal. I cannot wait for that day. Maybe it's not too far off in the future.
  5. Hi Mikissa, Thanks for your comment about being close to goal - and YES you will be there too. It can be frustrating at times, when I jump on the treadmill every day and the scale does not move for weeks, but I know it will start again as long as I keep working at it.

    Much good luck to you. Viv

  6. Thanks for your comment. My hubby said the same exact thing. I also wanted to congratulate you for being so close to your goal. I will get there one day. Mikissa
  7. I was working out in the gym last week and I heard two body builders next to me make a joke about fat people working out. I heard them yell "Cow" out and it didn't really hit me until later in the week. I was incredulous that they would actually laugh about that while right next to me. I guess I've got to develop a thick skin but I shouldn't have to. I pay alot of money to work out there just like they do... only I pay more for a trainer.
  8. Hiya Heather,

    Your picture is just hysterical! :^) I was at the gym last week and heard two guys laughing at a joke and I heard one of them shout "COW" They said something about a code word and I was so hurt. They were working out right beside me and I know it was about me but I have to develop a thick skin b/c the workouts have been good for me. Can you believe that though??

    Eight weeks in and thirty two lbs down

    I know how excited you must be for your surgery. Best of luck. Let me hear from you on your progress.

    Eight weeks in and thirty two lbs down

    I just got weighed at the Dr. and I am 32lbs lighter. It's just been 8 weeks since my surgery. I'm pretty pleased with those results. I just wish it would come off faster. I know that is a good result though.

    My third visit to get adjusted

    They took out .05cc b/c I was getting sick fairly often. They said that it shouldn't be a struggle to eat. I do feel like I'm able to eat better now but I seem like an bottomless hole down there where I can't fill it up now. I guess that's from where it was too tight and now I have to get used to the extra play that I have.
  12. I get my third fill on July 13th. I have really slowed down my eating and most likely will not ask them to add any more to my band. I've lost 30lbs in six weeks. I've slowed now but expect that to come and go. Good luck to you on your fill.
  13. I go each week but I HATE going. I have paid money for a trainer who is quite nice and does a good job but I can't help but hate the gym. I wish I never had to step foot in there again.
