I am Going to Do This !!

Apr 18, 2010

So I have decided to hold myself accountable by posting my journey on this site. Every Thursday I will weigh in and let you guys know where I am on my lap band journey. I had my surgery on December 31, 2009. I am 15 weeks into this process and I should be doing so much better but because I have a very unhealthy relationship with food I am not as far along as I should be.

Now for the numbers before my surgery and pre-op diet I weighed 356 pounds (I have never revealed that number). On Surgery day I weighed 349 pounds and today I am 320.  Since having surgery I have only lost 29 pounds, which is not good enough for me. I could be doing much better if I tried more. I also have restriction at times I just ignore it, I have 6.25 cc's in my 10 cc band.

So here are my goals, for the next week I will do a liquid diet during the day and eat a regular dinner at night. I will break a hundred pounds by my tenth month mark, which means by September 30th 2010 I will at least be at 249. I will learn to use my tool and I will not beat myself up when I have a bad moment.

Some weeks there will be a lot more posts then just my Thursday weigh in posts, I am going to use this blog as a way to deal with some of my emotions when I want to eat and I know I am not hungry.
I need all the support that I can get so please follow me and comment on my journey. We can do this together.
