  2. Treadmill Workout

    I will admit that I do not like the treadmill. I can walk 3 1/2 miles at a hilly park, but on the treadmill I normally do over 1 1/2 mile in 30 minutes. However, last nighht I did 2 miles, burned 260 calories, 81 fat calories in 32:55 minutes and I was jogging the entire time! That's a treadmill goal for me! I'm trying to break this stupid plateau! Anyway, my menu yesterday:
     
    Breakfast: Nothing
    Lunch: Half of Orange Roughy stuffed w/ crab cake and shrimp
    Dinner: 1/2 cup of 1/3 less sugar frosty flakes w/ skim milk

  3. 1st Fill on 3/28

    I will get my first fill on 3/28 and I'm sort of nervous. I'm still having the pains every once and a while, plus I really don't eat a lot now. Right now my body has came to another plateau,:angry so I have to change up my routine. I have eight more pounds to lose to meet my March goal of 15lbs, but I know I'll lose more than 15lbs this month. Anyway, all is well...until next time.
     
    Be BLESSED!
  4. I am so proud that I am continuing to workout and that's why the pounds are constantly coming off. I don't even worry about food anymore!!!! I want a fill, but I don't think I need it right now. 8 pounds to go to meet my March goal of 15 pounds!!!!

  6. Work It Out!!!

    Well yesterday I did my 3 1/2 miles at the park and I felt so good! Not to mention I lost another pound! So that's three pounds from my fifteen pound goal for this month. Then last night as I was getting ready to go meet with some friends I decided to "try" on another pair of my jeans from three years ago and they fit BETTER now than they did then!!!! We had a girls night out and danced and I did my salsa and merengue and tore the floor UP! So I am too happy...I don't think I have ever said this before, but I love my BAND! Well until next time....

  8. March Goal!

    I'm setting a goal to lose 15lbs this month!! I need to increase my cardio and also my EATING. I know I eat about 500 or less calories a day and that is not healthy. Yesterday I had a half of sausage w/ not even a half of "biscuit" and gravy for breakfast, no lunch and no dinner. I don't get hungry anymore. It has been seven weeks since surgery and I still have a lot of restriction.
     
    Clothes update:
    I'm in a pair of pants I have worn in over two years!!!! :clap2: :clap2: I knew I wasn't suppose to throw them away!!!! Anyway, I'm excited about the things to come!!!! I'm expecting everything I touch to prosper!!

  11. Down a Pound!!

    Although I am still have these pains, I have lost another pound!!! I am waiting for my test result to come in, but like I said the doc that gave me the test assumes everything is normal. I was also told that I may be experiencing muscle spasms in my chest! Well for now I'm happy about my weight loss. I also walked three miles today!!!

  12. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want to go back on liquids. As much as I hated being on liquids, I am going back. The nurse said I can always go back to liquids to regroup, so I am. I go see Dr. Madan this morning to see what is going on with this possible food being stuck thing! He is great and a hottie too! Well my appointment is at 9:00am, so I better start getting ready. Liquids here I come, again.

  13. It's Still There!

    Well after using different remedies for what I thought was trapped gas. The only thing so far that has helped is the meat tenderizer, lemon juice and pineapple juice mixture. I did buy the Papaya Enzyme supplement by American Health at Wild Oats. I got the "super" Papaya Enzyme Plus and I can't tell a difference yet. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I just made another cup and I put two of the Papaya Enzyme tablets in it. I'm just trying to maximize my results, anyway I hope everything is going good for everyone else. This too shall pass.

    Hi everyone,
     
    Lately I have been feeling like I have trapped gas for over a week. My doctor prescribed Prevacid 30mg, today is day three on it and no change. So last night I use an old remedy of baking powder and warm water. I felt okay for a few minutes, then it was back. Today I called the doctor again and ask the receptionist I could drink a little bit of diet coke to relieve the gas and Dr. Madan must have over heard her talking to me and said NO. He thinks some food is stuck, so he told me to go home and get some meat tenderizer and water (warm?) and drink it. He said it is not the best as far as taste goes (ya think?), but it will help break up any food that could be stuck. So I'm gonna try it tonight. Have anyone else heard of this "remedy"?

  15. Gas Pain???

    I have been having what I believe to be gas pains for about a week. I feel like I want to burp, but can't. Then I can feel it move back down to my chest. My doctor prescribed Prevacid 30mg, I hope it works. Other than that I am good. Saturday I walked three miles in about forty minutes, and did a few other fast pace things to burn calories. Some people are starting to notice, my weight loss :clap2: !

  17. Well it's been a month already and I am doing great! I went to Dr. Madan's office, but he wasn't there so I saw Dr. Tschansky (good doc too). He said my weight loss is really good and to keep it going. I was suppose start on my mushy stage today, but he said I can start eating solid food now. I was already eating mushy foods, so I can kick it up another notch. Well that's all for now.

  19. 3 Weeks Banded

    It has been three weeks since I was banded and I feel good! Thank you Jesus!!! I just finished a MAJOR workout while listening to Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied"! I feel GREAT! My weight loss is a stand still, some silly plateau that I am getting ready to get rid of! I got pounds to lose and I don't need anything slowing me down! The good thing is I have gained any weight! I had Tilapia and roasted mashed potatoes last night for dinner, leftovers today for lunch and dinner! I thought I didn't have that much restriction, but I do. More than anything I want to drink liquids, so I'm always drinking my water. Fruit H2O is the best, it was one of my favs three years ago. Anywayyyyyyy, I'm goin to bed early!
