14 days till my birthday which means its 10 days till xmas.....

In the process of working out my situation. Turns out that me stomach is not emptying properly. I thought is was because my band was too tight. As a result my acid reflux is brutal! My band is very lose and I am 10 lbs over goal! Urg!!! Waiting to see my surgeon to discuss next steps from my scope.

I am officially sleeved and 19 days out! I'm just now switching over to mushies and I couldn't be happier. I'm down about 40lbs and people are really noticing the difference. I'm getting great compliments and feeling really good!

okay surgery date has been change to 7/19/11 thanks to my hemotoligist!!! a week later its okay im still excited

I feel great ! My weight has not gone down in months ,, But I can get into a size 8/10 misses pants... they are yoga pants , so they stretch, BUT i was wearing a size 18.20,sometimes 22 last year / before surgery.so I feel great . i triy

68 pounds down and 37 pounds to go!! I am getting close to goal This journey has been amazing!!! I fit into a SIZE 10 jeans today!!!!

I need to go shopping again...this time for some work clothes. Just bought 2 dresses on Ebay -size 12 and a 10 - both fit! 184.8 today...170's I am getting closer that ever.

Today has been a good day. Still very tired due to the lack of calories, protein or carbs, but getting in a lot more water! The bad news? Very hungry, and not just head hunger, I really want something to much, but no such luck for another 10 days!

Wow...10wks already. I have been MIA but not in spirit! Lot's going on and I am greatful my tiny tummy won't allow any emotional over eating. 34lbs in 10 weeks and only 6lbs away from ONDERLAND, a place I have not visted in years! This time I'm staying there for good! Always let peace be a part of your journey!

Have my surgery date! I will be sleeved on Tuesday May 24th at 10:30 AM. Not as soon as I had hoped but the day will come!

I finally joined the losers bench. Sleeved 11/22/10

I am really having trouble losing weight pre-op. Initially, I lost 10 lbs and then life took over and I wasnt able to get back to the gym as regularly. The protein shakes disgust me. I found out adding a banana isnt good for my diet, according to the nutritionist. Yet, it helped me to get the shake down by cutting the whey taste. I havent given up yet and I wont. But I am trying to gather up my willpower. The surgeon didnt give me a set amount of weight to lose. I guess she just wanted to see...

Surgery scheduled - Tuesday 10/26!!! Getting ready!

I've got my date! Yeaaa! 11/30/10

holy shnikes! I just put on size 14 capris! 10 sizes...almost 6 months. I heart my lapband.

I got my first fill on Friday, 5cc's in a 10 cc's band, and oh boy what a difference! I love my band <3

149.2 Reached my personal goal for my upcoming surgery. Still have 19 more days woohoo

surgery date is set!!! 10/25/2013

: this is the first time in my life since I was maybe 10 that I could walk in a skirt for miles on end and not feel my thighs chafe to blood. Amazing!

I have officially made it through 4 days of the pre-op diet and am beginning to get used to it. I hope I am losing weight so I can prove something on the scale at my pre-op visit on 3/10.

10 weeks and counting!

Wow, the flight is booked and the surgery is on the calendar with Dr. Kelly in Tijuana for February 10, 2011 all thanks to my awesome sissy who I will be sharing this journey with.

Packed and ready to go! I leave in less than 10 hours! Thanks friends for all of your well wishes and prayers! See you on the loser bench!
