Desiree1970

It only took a little heartbreak for me to break my plateau. Let me see... I was scammed on an online date site (NEVER AGAIN!) had my heart and dreams crushed by an imposter... finances out the window and lost over 5 lbs in 4 days! Not something I want to continue to do, but Wow Huh!? Today's weight is 224.5

I am soooo a slow loser. My surgery was on March 12, 2007 and I've gone from 270ish to 231 as of today.... argh soooo frustrating!

I went to Curves this morning and had a very good workout.... Bad me... partially because I've had such a terrible time getting an appointment for a fill (last one in October!) and because the scale is my worst enemy now (stuck at 231! OMG I was 227, no I'm up to 231!) I'm taking Lipo6... I know I really ought not too, but I am... Weighed myself after my workout and I'm at 231... that just sucks... I really need to monitor what I put in my mouth! I had an Advantage chocolate shake (160 calories and 15 grams of protein) and now I'm having water and totally considering going back to nutrisystem.... lots of stuff on my mind...

It's almost been a year and I've been trying for the last four months to get an appointment for an adjustment. My last adjustment didnt' take at all... big bummer. Finally I was able to get an appointment, but not for another month.... I'm not gaining, but not losing... stuck around 226 and 230 and it really SUCKS! The one good thing is my new romance... well at least so far so good LOL

Feeling a bit frustrated myself... need a better fill... I know it's not strong enough when I can drink water in a gulp...

mmm me thinks I'm gonna have a cup now

I'm trying not to be too discouraged. My weight keeps fluctuating... I've been wanting to leave 230's behind me, and actually weighed in at 228 a few days ago, but today I'm back at 230.5 :girl_hug: But hey I've come a loooong way for 270's and my lower belly is shrinking It use to feel solid and now it's just a soft spongy feel. I'm still glad I got the LapBand I go for a fill with Dr. Liu in Newport Beach on friday and I'm excited about saying, "smell ya later 230's" for good!

My doctor says if I lose on average seven lbs a month I'm good. I've been going for my fills every two months and have my third fill this friday

I also just take small sips during a meal, but not all the time

It's a new day!!!! Well here's what's on my agenda today.... I'll try to behave :car: I'm doing a lot of packing this weekend. So glad I'm moving home for a while. Now I can pay bills and get back up on my feet.

Slime Me a River is my new motto... I know that when I do slime it's because I'm eating too fast, not chewing well enough or eating something I have no business eating.... It's definately a learning tool.

Sometimes early in the morning like 4am, my tummy sill start talking... the noises usually wake me up LOL! Sounds sorta like water going down a clogged drain.... I know I'm weird:nerd:

It's been about 6 months since my lap band, and I'm still kicking LOL. I'm very happy with my decision as I feel tons better and see some beautiful curves :mad: The things I'm noticing that I'm not too happy is my hair is shedding.... :crythat means I'm not getting in as much protein as I need. Bad ME!!:eek: So today I'm gonna change my ways... so far today I had 26 g of protein via Protein Nectar's Fuzzy Navel drink. Two more of those today and I've hit my 60 grams per day... I'll be tooo happy!:whoo: I also bout liquid multi vitamins, I'm not too happy with the chewable.... I've been taking the Centrium chewables and they are not that tasty after all....:eek: I'm still watching a lot of the FOOD network LOL:madgrin: Hey I also found out yesterday one of my FAVORITE singers in the WORLD!!! Ann Wilson had the Lap Band! Ann has been such an inspiration in so many other ways as sucha strong independent woman to me. I love Hart and she has such a talent. Cheers to you all!:hungry: Love, Desi

Hi Tammie What was most painful about your fill. I only felt a pinch when the doctor numbed me before the fill. Huggs, Desi

You'll eventually learn ways to "work around" the holidays. I had mocktails with my Protein Nector as treats on St Patty's and My birthday... For Easter, I just took very very little lamb and some herb potatoes and broccoli and ran it through a food processer... added some broth and instant stew LOL..... If you search on here you can find tons of recipes

Congrats! You're well on your way
