Well i had a 3rd fill yesterday. I go to the doc every 4 weeks and by his scale i lost 12lbs since my last visit 4 weeks ago. About 65lbs total now! I would be happy with 2lb a week but ill take 12 in 4 weeks !

Went to our support group last night. Our surgeon talked this time, was excellant, dispelled alot of lap band myths or theorys that have been out dated.

About 2.3 or roux y and rest are banders. OMG the roux y ppl have had alot of problems. This one chick was in ICU for 2.5 months after her roux y bypass! Not one bander has had a problem. He said he completed 141 lap bands so far and all have had no slipage! Phew!

Wow Daddy, 65lbs is sooo awesome. I'm hoping to lose that in 1 year, let alone 4 months....Wow. I'm going to the gym tonight for another try at c25k, but I'm not sure exactly which week I'm going to try. I voted for week 3, but it annoys me to run for 90 seconds now. I feel like, if I'm going to run, I should just run. Even though, thats sometimes how people get hurt...I'll have to think about it...

Don't kid yourself, total, my doc wants me losing 150lbs. I've lost 40. I personally would like to lose 75 more. We'll see about the extra 35lbs...

Ok, so I tried week 3 workout I'm not sure what number now, did half. Couldn't do the other half. Trainer said to go back to week 2 and do it for a couple of weeks to build up endurance. I really just wish I could run for 5 minutes straight. But I guess if I could do that, I wouldn't necessarily need the c25k program...I don't know. I also think it would help if I could lose a little more weight, but thats also been at a standstill. I'm definately going to try lowcarbing it for a little while. See if that'll do the trick. I know that the lighter I am, the easier its going to be....

Ok just did week 4 workout 3.

Not too bad.

I finaly worked out my combo dial locker at the Y! So i can leave all my shower shell and stuff in there.

Gosh i felt so nasty and guilty all day yesterday as i had to miss the gym due to a head ache.

Read about a gut on here that lost 100LBS in 4 months! Holy crap! He said he walked at 4mph 6 days a week for 50 mins and watched his diet carefully. THats a crazy loss!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
