  1. I have been having a hard time the last three weeks, I missed my dr visit on the 8th and have not been back yet. I am planning on going on the 29th now. I have gained back about 5 pounds and i know why, i have been so bad with everything that is going in my mouth, i dont seem to be full and my choices have been so bad. i went away on vacation and seems that i have not come back to reality yet. I can't seem to get removiated again. i have not been to any group meeting in a month because of everything that is going on. i have started night school from 6 pm to 930 every night and work full time almost every day ( i work at a toy store and this is getting into our crazy season.) I know i can do this i had lost 40 pounds in 4 months but i just a lost. I dont know if there is anyone who has been through this too?? I just sitting here shaking my head. later!

  2. 8 weeks

    · darleneo · 08/28/2010 19:25

    :scared2: 8 weeks- 1st fill, The dr office put 1cc in my band with the 5 that was put in when i was banded. i can really feel the difference. i have been on water for one day and now on shakes one day and went to soft food yesterday, tommorow i can have regular food again, i think i lost 2 or 3 more pounds just doing that for the past few days. but for a total weight loss of 32 pounds so far that is so great!!! when i got on the scale at dr office i was like oh yea!!!! Once the kids are back in school next week that will give me more time to hit the gym or go for some long walks after i get them on the bus!!! I have put a goal of 25 more pounds gone by christmas, i really think that is a due able number. i am going to bust out the winter clothes soon and see if there is any difference in the fit yet?? I hope so. keep you all posted- have a great weekend!!!

    I still can't believe that it is past the 4th of july already. The heat here is crazy- and i thought living in the mountains would be cooler than the beach~ HAHA really cant go walking just way to hot- i did head over to the mall yesterday and did a few laps, i am sure that will count some but not like i want it to. I go next tuesday for a weight in and to chat with the dietian. I have only been drinking water and my protion drinks as per my dr. i have not gotten on the scale all week and its driving me crazy- i had to put it away, i was on it everytime i went to the bathroom. really dont want to get ocd over the weight loss. I can see that would happen fast. my husband says he can feel a difference already, i'll take it!! Later all!!!
  5. Well I guess the hard part is about to start- I was banded on the 23rd of june- my whole exprince was great. from the first visit to the check out of the hospital. I started at 304 and on surgery day i was 287 and when i went on monday to have the staples removed i was 283- a total loss of 21 pounds so far. I'll take it!!! I finaaly get to drink more than water now too!!! I have started my protine shakes this morning- boy they are hard to get down- what an after taste. i go back in two weeks for a meeting with the dietian and a weigh in so i hope that things keep going the right way. I have had nopain really and have been walking every where. i even went to the mall the day after and walked it twice. later
