Boo Boo Kitty

I was banded August 1st and have had 3 fills, and 1 unfill. I was filled the 3rd time to 2 ccs and it was just too much. It was horrible. I am not sure if I am at my sweet spot, but I am feeling good about what I am able to eat. It has only been a week since the unfill. SO now I am at 1.75 ccs.

Hey I LOVE that line! :clap2:

AWWWW.....I am right there with her. Is it my nap time yet??

Ok, I hate this holiday now officially. What is so damn good about stuffing yourself until you are SURE you are going to throw up??? It was very hard to enjoy the meal without feeling like everyone was watching me and praying I didn't pb... My family doesn't know I have the band, they would be rude and unsupportive. If one more person tells me "Quit dieting for today" I am going to kill them with a turkey drumstick......grrrrr.....

I pb almost every meal now, I am actually getting used to it as sad as that sounds. I think it is more what I eat, and not chewing so good.

Awwwww....I am sorry girl! Take is easy! Hope you are back on your feet soon! Hugs....

My favorite shake: 2 scoops protien powder 2 tablespoons FROZEN orange juice 2 tablespoons frozen limade a few drops of coconut extract fat free milk and ice blend until smooth, enjoy the tropical treat!

You know I started at at 28 as well...and as I am sure we all do I have been dipping into all those clothes that I held on to for so long. I put on a pair of 18 and they were just a tad snug. I could wear them, but you know the wedgie thing. BUT in another pair of jeans 18 I am fine and have plenty of room. I think that too many sizes vary. But I will never again wear those damn 28 so burn baby burn!

I am from Jackson. Had my surgery in Flint.

Ok I am getting the "So what are you doing to loose weight" question a lot now. I do not want it out there that I had surgery, my family is very against it. SO what do you say when you get that question? I can not say Weight Watchers because my brother's mother in law is a guru at it and would GRILL me. ANY suggestions? And in the big scheme of things, I love not knowing how to lie about how I am loosing weight. At least I am not getting more of those "We should talk about how unhealthy you are" talks. :tired

Congrats Pebbles! You look very hot! :biggrin1:

I went to Long Beach. My job has a convention there every year that we have to go to! BUT the weather was just amazing. Very hard to come home to darn snow!

Well after a hellish week in La I am back and feeling MUCH better after an unfill. Dr. filled me WAY too tight and I was miserable my whole trip. BUT I am now officially 100 pounds from goal! YEAH! :clap2: :faint:

GREAT job girl! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!

Hello all! I am going tommorow to get a 3rd fill. I didn't loose a thing with the 2nd. So they are going to get me in early. My only concern, I have to fly out to LA Wednesday in the am. I am very nervous about having a fill and flying off. BUT it will make it easier for me to afford eating out every night in LA!

lol...glad to know I am not the only one going around making strange friends then!

You have to do with the goal in mind or you will go nuts. You have to think long term it will be worth it. It isn't easy but I does pay off! Good luck! And stay away from people eating your favorite foods, trust me!

My pleasure! Let us know what you decide!

Thanks Lisa!

I am not sure, my tattoo guy will not tattoo me now while I am loosing on the band. He feels it is a waste of money. He told me just because it is ok for one person does not mean it will be ok for me. Something to think about! I wanted one on the shoulder as well. My ankle one is doing fine right now though.

Looking AWSOME girl! Look at you! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

This is from PERSONAL experience. I was your daughter to the T, 14 years ago, only YOUNGER. I was 16. The more you push, the more she is going to buck. Be strong, set the rules and expectations and DO NOT WAIVER!!!! Trust me, give an inch and she will run with it. I ran off at 16 with my bad boy. It was not easy. I dropped out, and gave up everything. BUT there is NOTHING you can do to stop her if that is what she wants. There is a bright side, I married my bad boy at 17. He is now a great father to our 2 little ones and we have been married 12 years now. I am recently back to college at MSU. SO while my plans are off track, I got back on them later. She has to learn on her own, no you telling her anything will work. Trust me. If you need an ear, pm me. I have been her and I can tell you a lot about what she is thinking, really!

Thank you Eileen. I need to throw my scale into the garbage. It is not my friend. I hate it. I am addicted to it though, what do I do to break the addiction???

Guys, I am having a VERY rough time lately. I am only eating small amounts, and exercising. BUT since the 2nd fill I have gained 3 pounds. I am very very discouraged. I exercise at least 30 mins everyday and try to get 300-400 calories per meal. Anyone else having this problem??? I need a hug..... :crutch:

Well if that is the case, one can hope they get Hep. C from their drug addict...oh that was mean wasn't it?? Don't worry karma is gonna get em back!
