    *^#@! HAir Loss!!

    By Gorda123,

    PLease tell me i am not the only one thinking i am going bald!?:confused:
    For the past 3 weeks i have been noticing that every time i wash my hair, there is way to much of it washing out with the shampoo. I am even afraid to comb or bush it. i can really tell when im getting it up in a pony tail.
    SO, any suggestions? advice? Im going to have my yearly physical next month, I hope i still have some hair left my then:sad:

    it has taken me over 2 months to get the motivation to get my ass up 30 mins early , get infront of the TV and press play of 40 min cardio workout..I have to do it BEfore everyone wakes up. Im starting only 2 days a week and I am doing 100 tummy crunches. so hopefully i can keep it up for the winter...and see what I do once the noce weather comes back. Does shoveling snow count as a work out???:tongue2:
     
    My legs, butt and shoulders are killing me right now... kinda pathetic really. But i have to do something to jump start my body...and i want to get rid of my belly, so that people stop asking me "how far along am i??"
    I have tried to convince my hubby to join me int eh morning workout...he is not obese but he could loose 20-30lbs and maybe that would help him with all the meds he is taking for this that and the other. BUT he is not getting up and i refuse to nagg him about it.
     
    My twins Bday was yesterday, i cant believe thay are 3 already. my 6 year old daughter and i made them cup cakes...boy was it hard not to gobble up 2 or 3 of them...i did slip a bit...i could not resisit the frosting:bored:
     
    Ok so hopefully in 3-4 weeks i will start seeing a differance now that im working out. It would be great to start the year 30lbs lighter....but most importantly that i can see it when i look in the mirrow
    have a great night!

    Just another day...

    By Gorda123,

    Well i had Thanksgiving lunch ready and server by 1:30pm. It was only my kids, my husband and my mother this year. I made a roasted chicken that came out pretty good...atl easy i think so since i could not really taste much since i still have a cold. I did not pig out, i had my protein 1st but i could not reject the stuffing, so i made sure it was really wet and chewed like crazy.Now i am just reslly really thursty!!
    It has been 2 months since i got banded and i have lost 22 Lbs. I know it could be more if i worked out, but im happy. My goal for New Years is to loose a total of 30lbs by than.
    hope everyone had a good day!!:cool2:

    So i got my 1st fill on Thurs. This is after getting up with a cold and having to take my daughter to thr Dr just to find out she had STREP throat!! Thankfully my Dr found the port on the first try. He said my band was one of the larger ones and that we would start with 3cc and see how that does. The minute the saline went in i felt the pressure. Before i left he made me drink two glasses of H2O to make sure it went down. it did. So now i am back on liquids till Sunday night and them mushies..then maybe by Thanksgiving i will be able to have a bite of the roasted Chicken dinner i am planning to make...:rolleyes:yes i said chicken. I have never been a fan of turkey and since its only going to be 4 adults and 3 kids at the table it is not worth going though the trouble a turkey. I am planning on making a yummy stuffing ( my favorite)with apples, even thought i will probably not be able to pass it down.
    My goal not is to loose a total of 30lbs by Xmas>... only 11 lbs to go!
    My wish is to be loosing Slow but steady.

    Fustrated!!

    By Gorda123,

    I am about 6 weeks post op and this morning i noticed that i GAINED 4 lbs!!
    I have my 1st fill coming up at the end of the week. I have noticed that i am hungrier and can eat more. I am trying to stay away from bad food but still. Is this normal? will the fill help?? Maybe i should hide the scale and focus on how my clothes fit me. I am trying to walk as much as i can, taking the stairs, parking far away...all that.:mad2:

    candy candy!!!

    By Gorda123,

    Ok so i am 4 weeks POst Op. Lost 18 lbs so far and now comes the day when i am surrounded by candy. I have never had a big sweet tooth but i am craving a Kitcat or a Recesse. I have 3 small kids who are excited to go out tricker treating...i will go with them. But by tomorrow morning 80% of that candy has to be out of the house. My kids dont know what most of those candys are so i want to keep it that way. And i also what to they it away from me. Am i being mean? unfair? i dont think so, my kids do not have a weight problem, but i do not want a sugar overload that for sure will lead to Time Outs!
    I have my first fill in two weeks, i hope i can last. I am feeling hundry every 3 hours and so far i have not felt any restriction, BUT i am keeping an eye on portions, protein and CHEWING.
    Good luck to all!!!
