  1. Blue Jeans from Hell!

    · lisaluvsgreys · 02/02/2010 03:37

    I am so excited! I fit into the Blue Jeans from Hell comfortably today! I use to have to literally jump in these jeans just to get them buttoned. No Jumping Today! What a milestone!!!! I am so excited.
     
    I cannot wait to get my first fill so I do not feel hungry anymore. I have broken my carb addiction, so that is a huge success!
     
    I have a pair of capris that I am hoping to fit in by March. Keep your fingers crossed!!!! Woo Hoo!:bored:

  2. Week 4!

    · lisaluvsgreys · 01/26/2010 00:14

    I am finally exercising! Yeah! I have been getting at least 30 minutes of exercise today. So far I have lost 17 lbs!!! I began to worry my progress would slow down if I did not start moving, so I am mostly doing the elliptical machine each day.
     
    I am finally use to being hungry. It does not really bother me anymore. I still cannot wait to get my first fill on the 16th! To think about eating less, and feeling full.... I cannot wait!!!!
     
    Three weeks ago, I would not have believed how I feel right now. I was miserable, sad, and in pain. But now I realize the surgery was definitely worth it. I have more energy, and a different perspective on life! The surgery is not a complete cure; I have had to change my eating habits and philosophy about food. The fact that I have had to change my eating habits to food I do not like has helped! I do not look forward to eating anymore! HA HA HA!!!!!
     
    Off to the gym! I hope I keep it up! I had set a goal that I would be exercising 3Xs a week by Feb. 5th. Looks like I will make that goal! Woo Hoo!

  3. Lap Band

    · lisaluvsgreys · 01/11/2010 01:15

    Two weeks out from surgery tomorrow and I am feeling great! My first week of surgery, I thought I was losing it! Talk about miserable! Things got better around day 6. I ended up getting the LapBand. I was gung-ho about Realize band, but ended up with the LapBand after doing extensive research.
     
    I am getting hungrier each day. I cannot wait until I get my first fill. February 17th will be my magical day! I have been consuming between 1100-1200 calories a day. They told me keep it under 1000, but I am too hungry if I stay that low! I am eating healthy foods, no bread, pasta or rice. I never realized how much I miss eating bread. I use to take a sandwich to work each day. Now it is soup and jello, protein shakes for mid morning and afternoon snacks.
     
    I am walking for exercise. I will probably go back to the gym this week, but no weights. I love lifting weights, but hate cardio. Hopefully I will end up loving cardio.
     
    I went out to dinner with all my friends for the first time last night. We went to Asahi for Michelle's birthday. I ate chicken and vegetables. Brought my own crystal lite to make something to drink. I have started the 30/30 rule, but depending on the food I am eating, I have difficulty. I need to master that before my first fill.
     
    Overall I am doing well with my lifestyle change. I am probably not up to par as everyone else, but compared to where I was, I am doing fabulous.
     
    I have not purchased a scale, so the only time I will be weighing myself if when I go to the doctor. My clothes are fitting looser, so that is a good sign. I need to exercise more each day.
     
    Did not exercise today, I am getting a cold. Just taking it one day at a time!

  4. So Many Questions

    · lisaluvsgreys · 12/27/2009 03:42

    Surgery is on Monday. I have so many questions even though I have read every book, and met with several professionals. I guess I need to take it one day at a time after my surgery.
     
    I ordered cases of Oh Yeah! to drink over the next couple of months! LOL
     
    Tomorrow is clear liquids only in prepartion for the surgery on Monday. I am wondering how that will go. I will probably be a grouchy mess! grrrrrr :drool:
     
    I am excited at the possibility of having more energy, more flexibility, more confidence, and less pain. I am so tired during the day. I have no "get up and go." I am hoping that after a month, I will sit down and read this feeling much better physically!
