Fat Girl Moments....#FatGirlMoments
Judyjones commented on Yvette1026's blog entry in How I lost 100lbs
I am surprised your band let you eat all that bad food. Shame on your band not working for you. And congrats to you for writing this blog and opening the eyes for others, like me. Yesterday was a boring day for me and it seemed like I ate and ate but I ate only the good stuff. And then there was the scales thinking, oh no......I have gained but nope was the same to my surprise. Today, I am going to be better and not piece all day like I did yesterday. That's the plan. -
6 pounds for me this week and I did have a fill and got food kind of stuck twice. First time was when I stuffed two Ritz crackers in my mouth and did not chew, chew, chew and then last night eating 1/2 of a banana and that awful feeling finally went away after an hour. Don't know if I will get anymore fills soon which my appt is the 31st. Never lost 6 lbs in a week.

How are you doing after your 3 days of a bite of a burger being stuck. I had a banana last night and after eating only 1/2 of it I got that awful feeling and it took almost an hour to go down and that awful feeling to stop. Second time eating a banana did this so no more of those darn things for me. Anyhow, how are you doing???
-
Yep, you got one here. I am old and want the rest of my life to be skinny and be able to travel and walk thru a crowd without my big butt bumping into people. Only 42 lbs down but it is the most I ever lost at one time without stopping and gaining it all back with 10 more on top of that. Good luck to you. Judy
-
I love your attitude but unlike me only a few people know I had the surgery on 12/31. I feel it was a personal choice and no ones business. I am doing this for me too. All about me is a great saying. Good luck to you and stay positive....one of my new friends from here told me that "stay positive" and I keep thinking of those two words. Good luck to your long journey.

71 lbs wow, had my surgery 12/31 and lost 42 and thought I was doing good. I am eating lots of soup too because it is the most satisfying for me and I cannot exercise because of a boot cast on my foot which I am hoping to get off Monday. Just wanted to congrat you on your lost. Your doing good.

Wow, that bite never went down. I am so surprised. I don't think I will eat any hamburger. 3 days!!! I just went 20 mins and thought I was going to pass out from stuffing two Ritz Crackers in my mouth. I am happy your are ok now and on the right track. Good luck to continue to loose that weight. Judy
-
Yeah for you. I pray that I can get to my goal some day even though the doctors office said I would never loose that much weight with the lap band and should do the bypass. I stood my ground and told them no I want the band and I WILL loose the weight!!!! I got the band on Dec 31st and down 42 lbs so I am going to show them. Congrats to you and keep up the good work because it is a lifetime journey. Judy

You poor thing. I cannot believe that thin pea soup is getting stuck. When did you have your surgery? And your right, this is not the easy way out. Some people are just stupid. I hope your evening gets better as the night goes on. Judy

2 cc wow, I had 1 cc and having to learn to eat slower and less. You be careful and remember to chew. I stuffed two Ritz crackers in my mouth last night and for 20 mins I paced and had that awful pain thinking I will never eat again because it hurt so much. But it went away just as fast as it came on. Now I am eating yogurt just to get my crushed pills down and it takes forever to get it down. I sound like the clogged drain with all the gurgling I am making everytime I take two baby spoon fulls. So be careful Amy, don't want you to have the pain I had last night. But I am down 42 lbs now from my heaviest weight. So this band thing does work. I had my fill last Thursday and never had a problem until last night, Monday. I was told the real restriction can come as far away as 2 weeks after the fill. Judy

OMG, you poor thing. I had that feeling last night also. I stuffed two Ritz crackers in my mouth and forgot to chew them and wow for 20 mins I had that awful feeling and scared my husband to death. I did the same thing with no spit going down. I even thought if I could just throw up I would be better but then finally it went away just as fast as it came. 6 hours, you poor thing. I know the pain but NOT for 6 hours. Please, let me know how you made out. My surgery was the 31st and have had 3.5 cc put in there all together and after last night I think I am in my green zone. I have the gurgling sound just eating yogurt to get my meds down. It is 5:30 in the morning and I hope your pain has gone. Judy

Hi Carol, I am 59 and had my surgery on the 31st of December and two fills. No puking yet but I had slimming after my second fill. I was eating jello trying to get my meds down and the jello came up on a paper towel, only used one paper towel. Not too bad. Anxiety, oh my, glad to hear someone else with it. I have it bad also even during the fills but I am getting thru it and you will too.

Wow what a surprise saying your acid reflex is too bad. I was told that the smaller the hole the less reflex you will have. Well, they are wrong because I too get acid reflex and have been on Niexum for years which has caused polups at the top of my stomach. They found them when I had my scope down my throat done. After my surgery on Dec 31st my family doctor told me to start getting off the Niexum which I tried but the heart burn was so bad it woke me up at night so I stayed on it. Now, day before yesterday I had my second fill and I am going to start again to try and get off them which the doctor that did the fill said I should be able to get off that medication for good. Good luck with your journey and think positive and don't gain any of that weight back. Just remember how hard it is to get it back off. March 30th will come sooner than you think. Judy

So happy you have posted and wow, you have lost lots of weight. I can now say I am down 38 lbs and still going and that is without exercise. I am having problems with one foot and the other leg but I try and do upper body exercised at home. There was only one week that I gained a pound but lost that and some more. I miss seeing that green shirt. I love your positive attitude and you gave it to me so lets keep loosing weight and so far no one has noticed my weight lost but you wait until the summer time when I put on that bathing suit. I am going to feel great. Judy

If the band does its part, I?ll do mine!

Good for you. I have read too many of those sad stories also and will stop as of today. They told me the same thing that I will never get to my goal weight. Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,we are going to show them different. We have a long road a head of us to follow and going to get to the end of it. I really enjoyed your post. Judy -
So sorry for you lost. I lost both my parents and if you have not gone thru it you really don't know how it feels. It is a terrible lost. But I do have a question about the living trust............what is that?
-
Wow, you are doing great. My surgery was the 31st and only down 36 lbs with NO excerise. So I guess that is not too bad. I have a bad foot so I can only exercise my upper body which it gets boring. My foot is getting better so I hope when I get back to the gym my weight will go down faster. I am old and have noticed the saggy skin under by chin which is gross but 36 lbs is great for me. Usually I loose 30 and start to gain it all back plus another 10 lbs so I am feeling good about myself. Congrats to you and keep up the good work. Judy

Here I am over 50 and will be 60 this year and will be a skinny 60. I am down 36 lbs and was banded on the 31st of Dec with one fill. 2nd fill this coming Thursday. I am so happy with my band even though it took forever to get it because of all the test and meetings but well worth it. Good luck. Judy
-
I had 1.5 for my first fill and going for my second one Thursday and also to a new doctor. My surgery doctor closed his office which really sucks for me. But off with the old and on with the new. Good luck with you second fill and can't wait to hear how you make out and how much they put in. Judy
-
Congrats you sexy thing. Wow, under 200. I can't wait to be there so I can be a sexy thing. I must say having this band sure is work. I go for my second fill next Thursday and really looking forward to it. Weight comes off slowly but I feel healthy. So happy I have my band and friends like you. Judy

Know how you feel. Banded on the 31st of December and only lost 16 lbs and was 17 lbs. Today is weigh day and gained that pound. 33 lbs since I started this journey and I always start gaining once I hit 30 lbs on all the diets I have done thru out my life. And I always gain more than 30 lbs. So, lets get working on this bad situation and listen to all of our new banded friends and lose some of the FAT. Good Luck to you, I am there with ya. Judy
