HiMow

tomato soup with yogurt and avocado in it is AMAZING!

eat if if you':biggrin:re on mushies!

for the first time in 2 weeks I lost a pound!! Hurray!

Ew I'm embarrassed to even say. It means "dear husband" or some variation. As if to say, "I went to the store with DH." EWWW

My husband helped me realize that I had the band put in like a little over a month ago. I feel like it has been so long and I should be losing more, but thats crazy! I'm too obsessed with my weight right now. I need to stop worrying and just let it happen.

People obsessed about their weight are annoying and boring. I don't know how I got to this point, I wasn't like this before surgery. I think it's just that I have nothing better to do right now.

Interesting. As an English teacher' date=' I cringe at misspellings and poor grammar. I would welcome a "that being said" over "tuday Im rely nervouse"...I just cannot read on.

The DH crap annoys me, too, though.[/quote']

Yeah, it's gross. I told my husband about it and he cringed!

Interesting that the use of proper english annoys you. That being said, I'm sure that most of the people who use it (like myself) probably aren't going to be too upset if you stop reading our posts or blogs lol. But "YAY!" for venting about random stuff! :smile2:

You use the phrase "that being said."

it infuriates me, it is SOOO annoying!!!!!

I will read a post up until that line, after that I figure this person has nothing original or worth while to say.

HAHA sorry i might just be cranky cause I'm sick, but I also can't stand when people say "DH"

I will never say that. It is so ewwwwww!!!

I'm sure there are more, but those two just KILL me!!!:smile2:

stupid bitches! haha they're so pretty. It's not even my style but I just love tan, blonde, tall beauty queens. Probably because my mother was one.

Here I am pale, short, chubby, and have dyed my blonde hair dark for 10 years.

I wonder if I will ever be a "babe".

I have always wanted to secretly be "mainstream attractive" but my heart just sort of gravitates to an alternative look. I think it stems from my attraction towards alternative ways of thinking. and now i have all these tattoos and piercings.

I dont look like a PUNK. At least I don't think so. You can tell I'm edgy.. but thats like how the kids are these days. haha! and I was such a weirdo in high school.

Oh... i got married today. It was sweet. At the waterfall by a witch and two witnesses. The real big wedding is in October, but we had to shot gun it for insurance reasons. I am happy to be a MRS. but I will not change my name until October since no one knows about it. SHHHH! I also get my wedding band then, too. It was special and sweet. I love my husband!!!

I had some requests for tips.. I am trying to think of what I have done differently.

For one- I don't drink any coffee or soda or any caffeine which increases appetite and dehydrates you. I quit cold turkey along with smoking cigarettes.

I eat anything I want. But, I usually just have protein or mostly protein because I crave it. I like canned tuna, beans, and chicken mostly.

I have a stupid protein shake every day because it is the only way I can take my pills. It usually has 30 grams.

I haven't really had more than 1000 calories a day, but I don't count bc thats why I have a band! I hear I should be having more.

I don't exercise at all (I can't until I heal from a pulled muscle)

I like herbal iced tea and crytal light to get all my water. I like sugar free popsicles when I want to eat but am not hungry.

I DO NOT drink for an hour after I eat. I watch the clock like a hawk for that hour to pass. I drink all the way up tp my very first bite.

A few days ago I decided to go off of Celexa, a major contributor to my weight problem. I will let you know if that makes a difference.

:thumbup:

WOW! no one has asked me for tips on how to lose weight in my life! haha! I will post a new entry on the matter.

yeah. AWESOME!!

but I don't think it's that big of a deal because I started so high! (326) the super over weight lose a lot more but it seems like less.

I bet the next 50 will show SO much more.

I have a new goal of 25 more lbs. Already down 1 more.

Give me a high five!!

I had my first fill yesterday and I found out that I pulled a muscle behind my port. Thats why it hurts and pinches when I move.

I have to "take it easy"

Thats lame bc I am so bored and Brian is a terrible house keeper!!!

I made 2 eggs a little firmer than usual, because my chef fiance makes them for me but he isnt home right now.

I ate less than 1 and I am soooooo full. Its kind of cool. But, being full is kind of uncomfortable when youre not used to it.

In one week I get my first fill. I want it sooo bad! I have been really disciplined and only eat 2 oz at a time. I think thats why I am losing so well and my pre op diet was all clear liquid!

10 lbs a month sounds good. If that happens I will be...

80 more lbs by my wedding. that would put me in ONEderland.

199! Can I do it???

I feel that some didnt really understand my post. I know that 43 is a lot. I am not concerned that it will slow down. I said I know it will. Thanks for trying to help, I guess.

I stepped on the scale and I was 281. So... Brian weighs 280 and i was so excited to weigh less than my fiance. Then he informed me that since I had the surgery he lost weight and is now 270.

WELL HELL.

I am really excited that he is losing weight, too!

then we can be hot together.

But, you know...

I guess maybe in a few more weeks. I want to catch up to him!:thumbup:

I feel like I didn't have the band. Yes, I hurt! Yes, I can't eat. And yet??

I look at people that have lost and think.. gee I wish that were me. I have lost 43 lbs in a little over a month!! and I think I haven't lost any!

I think it might be because I don't feel the restriction. Or maybe I feel like my gravy train is going to end and my loss will slow sooo dramatically.

Also, I cant exercise yet so I feel like a fatty. I just sit around all day. I know this will only be another few days before I can start looking for a job.

You guys... I loose like a pound a day and I keep think "ohh it's just water weight. That's not really what I weigh."

When is this going to sink in and give me more confidence?

I remember when I first saw the scale go over 200. I was in 7th grade. I was scared. It was the worst time in my life. I lost my family, I was being abused, I was homeless for a time, I saw my mother beaten.

My mom was always obsessed with weight. I have been on a diet since I was born.

When I was born, the first words I ever heard were, "Woah! Thunder thighs! It's cute now but it won't be cute later." That is what the doctor said to the nurse.

I am hungry.

My first fill apt. is January 20!! I can't wait!

:smile2: I want to be full so bad!!!

when I am bored, I eat.

When I am sad, I eat.

when I am happy I eat... When i feel like indulging I eat... when i want comfort I eat.

now I can't eat I lost my best friend!!!

too sore to exercise.. too cranky and out of it to be productive...

I need to find something to DO!!

I keep thinking of all the stuff going on in my life.

I'm having major surgery (obviously).

I quit my job.

I'm getting married on New Years Eve.

I'm on like 300 cal a day!!

I'm running out of money.

I'm looking for another job but..

I'm moving to another state in 3 months.

This is by far the most eventful time in my life. I'm in a constant state of stress and worry with no food to comfort me and no energy to do anything but lay around.

I can't wait to look back and laugh about this in the future.:thumbup:

I am so close to my band date! I haven't cheated at all and it has been the hardest thing I have done to not eat any solid food for this long. I am literally starving but I have lost 31 lbs as of this morning.

I think that my hard work is paying off and setting me up for success in the future. My jeans are loose and my double chin is nearly GONE!

I feel like cheating is not even an option. I keep reading in the forum about all these people that cheated here and there. I would be too scared to jeopardize my health. When I first started reading about people's cheating I cried and got scared I would cave.

I feel so strong right now! But go figure, I'm hungry!!!!!!

40 lbs is great! I say: good job!

Tomorrow I meet with the doctor for my pre-op appointment. I'm so nervous! And my scale broke... Maybe I used it too much.

So, I have no idea what I weigh. I might just go buy one today.

I'll let you know how it went.
