Road to "TWOterville"

[JulieNYC 4]

I went from being a stay at home wife and step mom to being gone to school/work 12 hrs/day and on my feet most of that. It has been a big change in my life and it is just a lot all at once. I feel like I am swimming in the deep end and my doggy paddle is is starting to poop out.

Molly, you're doing great just to be staying afloat right now. Take care of yourself and we're thinking about you. Get that fill and you'll shed a few lbs, which will give you an energy surge that you definitely need with all those changes.

Take care,

Waterlilly, you should be very proud of yourself. And although running around for 12 hours a day may be getting you down try to think of the positives...12 hours a day got to burn some serious calories. Hee hee. Just trying to find the silver lining! Hang in there, you've got a lot going but you're still doing great and you'll make it til your next fill. I have faith in you!

We're doing great everyone! We'll get there!

Thanks evryone for the support :eek: This is my year to change my life for the better. I knew going in that it would be hard, but nothing worth doing is ever easy.

I had a good check up today with my bariatric doctor. I have 8 lbs to go til twoterville! And, I found out today...16 lbs to go til I've lost 100!!

Wow LapBandit, you are doing awesome :clap2:

Keep up the good work

I get a fill on Monday, here's hoping I finally get good restriction, I know I am getting close.

[LapBandit 5]

Thanks Waterlilly! I think we're all doing great! I agree with you...this year is my year too! We deserve to take a year to take care of ourselves.

Wow, talk about a fill. Only one cc added but I feel really tight tonight, I hope it's not all swelling. I can do thick liquids but that's it for right now. I don't even want to eat. I had chicken noodle Soup for dinner and a spoonful of pb for lunch, I know not liquid but definitely not something that was gonna get stuck at that point. Tonight though more swelling and wouldn't dream of putting pb in my tummy. I do need some dairy though so I thought I'd treat myself to some sf hot cocoa before bed Sadly my weight loss has not been significant since my last fill, so still sitting in the same place but at least I didn't gain

Oh and hubby and I went out to dinner on saturday and I usually have a burrito (they are huge!) and for the first time I was only able to eat half and no desert! I had the other half for lunch the next day. I won't be able to eat even that much now

I hope it's just right for you! My first fill post-op made me swollen for the first week but then it went back down. I still think I have restriction though so I'm happy. I think I need a smidge more to hit the illusive "sweet spot"!

Good job on eating out w/ hubby!

Ugh...it is sooo hot here. I totally don't feel like working out some nights but when I do I feel better afterwards. I hate winter/snow but this heat is a little much! I've got my sights set on Twoterville this month so that helps motivate me!

Remember those Gatorade commercials...featuring the greatest basketball player of all time...(Michael Jordan)....?

Is it in you?

:biggrin1:

I heard a cool saying today....."adversity introduces you to yourself."

Keep it up...you can do it.

Yay the scale moved!!!!! Back on track, now if only the restriction holds after the swelling is completely gone :eek:

At home sick today though :sick Have you ever felt like you had taken too many anehistamines but you hadn't taken any? Dizzy and weird fever like tingle and super tired.

The scale today read 300.0! I have my passport in hand and I am ready to cross the border to Twoterville! I hope I get frisked by some cute security guard. Hehe!

[LapBandit 5]

How exciting Marcy!! Good for you!

Mine read 301 this morning and actually flashed 299 for a minute before settling on 301! Let me know which line the cute border guard is in because I'm right behind you!

Wink,

[MarcyD 0]

WhooHoo! 297 this morning! Three pounds overnight!! I am so excited!

Julie-NYC, the cute guard is on my lap right now!

Lapbandit, you are an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

[LapBandit 5]

Hold on guys...save me a cute one too. I'm running for the border but just haven't quite gotten there yet!

Great job Julie, you're as good as there!
