    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:

    Frustration multiply by 10….
     
    So yesterday I was happy, I would meet with my primary doctor and have him to a physical exam and EKG on me….
    Sound simple huh? Should have been….
    After the embarrassment of having my “flab” out and being topless for this EKG…
    I contacted my medical coordinator with Dr. to ask him for a fax number for my primary Dr. so my primary could send him the results of my EKG.
    I may have called him on his cell phone, my bad:decision: …. But after all the hoops I’ve been jumping through I didn’t expect rudeness on his behalf…
    Short of long…I needed to have a treadmill stress test! I wanted to scream!:censored:
    Then I tell the doctor this and she was P’d Off at me:mad: and said if you don’t know what tests you need to have, you need to have your surgeon’s office provide us with a letter saying, “Desiree needs this and this and this…”
    Then of course to add the cherry on the top of my Sundae, my office called in a frantic, “We can’t find this…when will you be back?!”
    I'm so tired:tired and depressed :youcandothis: and want some Pad Thai and sushi:hungry:
     
    Thus was my wonderful day!

    I'm fighting the good fight cos on my lunch break I so wanted ONE TACO... then I said no, then I said, well I'm gonna move my car cos I've got these 3 inch heels on and I'm parked far away, it'll be dark after work... so I move my car and there's no close parking spots except by the AM & P.... no big, but I now want Munchos... I fought the impulse, only to get to my desk and count out nine dimes and two nickles... enough for a bag of Munchos... again I fought the temptation and reached for the snack size can of tuna in water in my desk... and now.... yes I'm still thinking of Munchos, but I'm settling for the tuna LOL:w00t:

    I woke up today tired and it wasn't until after I put on my white pants and began my 45 minute drive to work, that I started to feel like my cycle was beginning....
    You know that crampy feeling you get? Well it hit me hard somewhere around Lake Elsinore :Banane10:
    This is a good thing...so I thought, I was trying to plot my cycles start from when the last one ended. I'm early....oooh wee, but all I have to do is look at a calendar and aunt flo comes for her visit...so I thought... it's now almost 8P and no period....I hope it doesn't wait till I'm on the table having Dr. Liu pokin around in my belly:faint:

    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

    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:

    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

    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...
  14. Desiree1970
    In conjunction with several aspects I'm just bumbed this morning.... I reached 201 and was positive my next step would be down and then below 200... so why the crap am I 203?!
    I'm frustrated! I'm waiting for an auction win on ebay to pay and I am FLAT broke! :thumbup: Got bills to pay and my weight is not doin wha I want it to... so here I am today watchin Ultimate Fighter and just chillin out in my apartment... I feel a little retarted, cos here i am lounging on my couch watchin Spike and bloggin when I should be out enjoying life.... did I mention I've got my hoodie on... okay yep I need to let go of this depression!:cursing:
    Now.. I have my consult with Dr. Linder on Monday and I am excited about that! I'm gonna explain to him what I'm looking for and let him know I am experiencing extreme back pain I believe due to the sagginess of not only my belly but my breasts. My lower back is giving me every day pain...(right now I have a heating pad on my lower back) I just wanna be happy and right now I'm not...:cursing:

    Lookin' Good

    By Desiree1970,

    I learned an important thing and it's to not think in pounds, but in inches! You see in pounds, I've lost a little over 20 pounds but honey child in inches!!!?
    I'm down 4 dress sizes since my surgery... I've also lost about 4 inches from my waist, 3 from my hips and 2 from the twins!
    I'm so happy, but I'm not gonna lie.. I need to push myself harder. I need the support of this board and I need to step this up.
  17. Desiree1970
    238.9 !!!!
     
    I'm absolutely loving being out of the two forties!
    Work was such a crappy thing yesterday. It never helps when you work with lazy people and are so expected to do all their work, that you never finish your own work.
    I know I need to pray for these people, but can't they still tick me off LOL
  18. Desiree1970
    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,

    Dr. McDreamy!!!

    By Desiree1970,

    Dr. Linder is absolutely WONDERFUL! My consult was fabulous and I feel totally comfortable with him being my PS!
    Showing my belly and lower pouch was kinda embaressing, but we're trying to get insurance to cover...
    without insurance it's $18,000.:thumbup:
    I need an extensive tt with no muscle tightening.
    so I have a lot of homework to do...
    I need documentation of my rashes and back pain and letters from Dr. Liu and a few other doctors.
    I'm so excited... I'm looking at $7,000 if insurance cooperates. I'm praying for God's favor

    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!
