    Glad I got my fill yesterday.:tt2: Boy was I ready! As my wieght was dipping towrards 210 in the last few weeks it's been jumping up and when I had my fill yesterday I was 216.5:bored:.... This morning I am 214.4!
    I also found a way to tolerate the Protein Juice's Lemon Tea flavor:confused_smile:... I mixed it with lite lemon time... so much more tolerable.:w00t:
    Something scary did happen yesterday when I went in... I was told I had a $15,000 balance and how much was I putting towards it before my fill:eek:... I was like HUH? It was all a clerical error, and they had me as a cash client instead of insurance... whew!
    No strange side effects after the fill, but this morning I am taking in a serving of protien drink and I have a slight headache... other than that all is good:biggrin2:

    Ughhhh 214.3

    By Desiree1970,

    I don't enjoy eating, I'm throwing up and just not very happy.... it seems as if nothingwill stay down or that I've grown an imulse to throw up ... I don't like that and think I need an unfill or perhaps to visit my doctor for something to take for this cough.. I swear this cold seems to be holding on for dear life and I'm just sick of it :crying:

    This morning I woke up with that feeling of something stuck again.... after a little .... upchucking it looked like the itsy bitsy piece of bbq I had on Sunday! OMG! are you kidding me????:crying:
  6. Desiree1970
    Wow 215.6 This is Amazing! I'm definately able to eat a little better and drink more... my family is a bit aggrivating argh!:w00t:
    I've added Folic Acid and Biotin.... Have a Blessed Sunday!

    I slept so much better last night! I think what helped is I stayed up later... I went to bed around midnight after staying up to watch wrestling... I know I'm wierd LOL...
    I had a little burp this morning that woke me up, but nothing with the up chuck... I have to get rid of this cough... I caught a friends cold a few weeks ago and this caugh is trying to take up residence in my body and I'm just not having it LOL....
    I am feeling very lonely... I know that things with Dave were a farced and he took advantage ofme wether he wants to believe it or not.... I haven't talked to Andre in days and Joel? Well.... I think it's fair to say he's not interested. Isn't that funny.... three guys were after me and now they've fallen off the face of the earth it seems.... maybe I just need to go this alone and if Mr. Him comes along he does.... it just sucks not having someone to share my life with.... but no PITY PARTIES here! I mean I'm at 217.4 Baby!!!!:w00t:

    I'm a little on the tired side.... I know this is not very good and I need to seriously take my vitamins... I'm naughty about that.
    If I was to self "doctor" myself, I would say my iron might be low....
     
    Still I'm down 11 lbs from a week ago, not bad huh?
     
    I slept a little better last nigh not too many episodes with the coughing up of residual food... I even think I took in more water yesterday. My skin is snapping back, so I'm not dehydrated thank God.
     
    I have a serious craving for Watermelon, so I think I'll swing by Vons this morning and get some for breakfast yumoh!:w00t:
  10. Desiree1970
    Wow 219!!!! A welcoming number, now I'm finally in the two-teens!!!
     
    Had trouble drinking water again last night and coughed up water while trying to sleep gain.... tight adjustment....
     
    Will try tonight to not eat or drink three-four hours before sleep.. so most likely I'll probably just drink a protein shake before I leave the office at five... let you know how it goes... need to go to curves so I don't know.....
  11. Desiree1970
    I had a difficult night last night....
    I had some milk about an hour before bed and I kept coughing it up.
    I was so afraid of choking on it....
    No more eating or drinking three hours before bed for me

    Adkins Shake

    By Desiree1970,

    :w00t:My favorite Atkins Advantage shake is the Creamy Vanilla Shake.
    That's my lunch today. It's 160 calories 1g sugar and 15 g protein.
    Hope I can get it all in

    The beans and cheese I made last night gave me terrible gas and I was burping up nastiness and had to sleep practically sitting up last night.
    I know the band is tight and maybe a little swollen from my fill five days ago. I feel is... I mean it feels like a little cramp right below my boobies.
    I pureed the Chicken vegetable soup I made... yummo has lots of protein and spinich, broccoli, leek, potato... I'm eating softees for a few days so my band will calm down.
    I've also got a big glass full of ice on my desk. I hope to get down more water today... a few more bites of this soup and I'm done... I try to space them out two minutes to let the food go down. I'm done after 15 minutes Have a great day!
  14. Desiree1970
    UNBELIEVABLE!
     
    I'm thrilled about the wieghtloss. I've been watching my food intake... the bummer is that I don't think I'm getting my water all in... I mean I am TIGHT I can take sips at a time and I can still feel the tightness of the band around my stomache so there must still be some swelling... Praise the Lord! he fights all my battles and with Him I know this too will be another mountain that will be conquered. My goal is to hit my two-teens by weekend!!! WhooHOOOOO!

    Wow 222.4!

    By Desiree1970,

    I wowed myself this morning when I got on the scale.
    Part because my cycle started last night so I expected my weight to go up. Boy was I surprised when the scale read 222.4!
    Yesterday was great, I really enjoyed the play and didn't go crazy at the Elephant Bar. In fact I made sure to order the mashed potatoes and ate sllllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyyy LOL
    Of course I got full fast! I ate a few bites for dinner last nite and while my family chowed on chinese I retired to the serenity of my room to watch Cops! I feel wonderful botom line, even with these cramps LOL

    Day Two Liquids

    By Desiree1970,

    Yesterday after my fill was alright, but I got a maddening headache and didn't get rid of it until this morning...
    I'm still on liquids. Of course I have my tomato soup but know what? I wanna chew on something badly LOL!
    Went to Big Lots with Sam on our lunch break and I bought a little food processor... starting tomorrow i'm on soft foods... so it's puree time! They had a lot of Nutrisystem stuff! :biggrin:Sam and I are very supportive of our goals to continue to lose. She's almost ready to have her reconstructive surgery... I'm hot on her hills, but totally wanna drop another 50 before I even entertain the idea of going under again...
    My goal for today?:tgif:
    Drink water and get through the rest of the day without chewing LOL! I'll make it.. I'm a little dawncy so I may skip Curves this afternoon, go home and veg and write in my journal. Tomorrow's a brand new day!:w00t:

    Finally had my third fill at Dr. Liu's office
    Was able to meet some really nice and cool people in the waiting room.
    Dad was so sweet... see this morning I tried to eat a bean and cheese burrito from taco bell, knowing damn well my body doesn't like flour tortillas anymore LOL... well as I'm getting off the car slim everywhere in the driveway... I guess dad was grossed out and worried about his little princess because he insisted on driving with me to Orange. I'm glad he did, it's always nice having his moral support, and Daddy is my favorite man in the world... he was so hungry and we were there for hours! I made it up to him by buying him a nice lunch at Portillos.
    Me? Well I'm on liquids for two days... I want to try for three, but hey no promises here LOL. I did tell Andre that I don't want to go out tonight... I want to see him, but I'm afraid on liquids... I may be a little bitchy LOL... funny thing is we were just talking on the phone and I kept having to beltch LOL all I've had... since the few bites of that burrito... is water, a little grape juice.. a little lemonade... and chicken broth....
    I'm determined.... I'll be cool tonight with just the liquids... then tomorrow I'll up it with some Protein nectar... still liquids.. I so would like to believe that even I can do all liquids on Saturday, but hey I'm going to a theater and dinner event... well I won't be eating much if anything at all. Docs said we're gonna get this next 50 lobs off and gave me an UBER FILL! I'm holding them to it! I'm also holding myself to it and I'm starting from scratch and gonna keep hitting CURVES like a banshee LOL
    WhooooHOOO!

    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

    So Far...

    By Desiree1970,

    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...

    So Discouraged

    By Desiree1970,

    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

  22. Desiree1970
    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!
