Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Hi, my name is Tina, I am married and a mother of two. My story is pretty much the same as others- have been obese all my life with weight loss up to 80lbs only to gain again!
Decided to say "goodbye" forever to the fat and "hello" to what I can be....healthier and thin. I have a great support group in my family and I will be doing this with my brother-in-law so that should help us both. (exspecially at our family's food fests- HA)

"Now is a good time to take a look at your life's map, find a better route, and move forward in the direction of the good things in your future."

A NEW YEAR!
on January 2, 2008 11:35 am

Well, I guess I survived the holidays

I had no restriction till I had my second fill Dec 21st, just in time for the holidays LOL. I have gone through the foamies, pain, throwing up and I have learned quick not to push it. I have lost what I gained and now I hope this year brings more loss and meeting goals! Here is to a GREAT year!!

Ok, here I am going a long.... and I have experienced my first gain!!!!

Now I take full responsibility here, went on a Thanksgiving trip and ate like old times.......I have no restriction and Yeah I know it is a tool but I feel like I have no tool. My next fill is scheduled on Dec 21st I hope I feel some help!!! I am back today on a self imposed high protien low calorie liquid diet for a few days and then gradually back to HEALTHY foods. I can not fail!

November 13th 1st Fill!!!

I just got home from having my first fill. It went pretty smoothly- no pain a little discomfort from where they roll the pillow under your back. I rec'd 4cc in a 10cc band so I hope I feel some restriction now

. I have to be on liquids for 24 hrs then on to my regular foods. I am anxious to see how this works!
Blessings

I went to see surgeon for first time since surgery. He said everything looked great. I was doing well with my calorie/protein intake. I told him I did not feel any restriction and could tolerate just about anything. I am scheduled for my first fill on November 9th (three weeks). I am anxious to see how that works, just in time for holidays! Now I need to really focus on exercise!!

Well I can not believe how blessed I am!! Praise God I have had a smooth recovery- no pain -sickness. I did not even have to take a tylenol! In fact if it were not for the scars I would not even know I had it done!! I have been out everyday walking and just going about my business. I have had gas but it has not been bothersome. I am having trouble with getting all the h2o I need but I just am not hungry. I need to really focus on that and my protein shakes right now.

Life is good!!!
Tina
