Week 7
May 25, 2009
I am feeling better from my fill last week. At first it was kind of hard to eat and hurt but that is all gone now and have advanced to a regular diet. I feel good although I think that I may be starting to have gallbladder problems. I get this pain in my right side which is sometimes so darn painful I wanna cry. I guess I need to have that checked out. My knee is better too the 100cc they drained out of it made a huge difference in the way that I can move now. I really need to see my ortho doc again and demand that he take a closer look into why this keeps happening.
Other then those few things I have been feeling great. For the holiday weekend we went to Bluewater lake and had a blast fishing! It was so nice to get out of the city and just breathe. Now I wanna live there...I told my husband that we really need to consider leaving Albuquerque next summer. Honestly I can not stand living here anymore. I feel like I live in the world's biggest neighborhood association. I want to go somewhere where living in the land of the FREE means something. If you knew our mayor here you would understand..and I am a democrat but that is one democrat that needs a good swift kick in the butt. Imagine living in a world where you cant play your car radio with the windows down cause you will get a $500 fine...well that's the reality of living in this city because I got a citation for doing just that. I understand some things need to be regulated but really music, I wasn't bothering anyone, and being a criminal justice graduate I do know the laws and am very aware of my rights, and although I pointed out to the officer all the elements of the crime he said I committed were not met...he found a different more vague ordinance to cite me. Now is that really fair? Police officers should be happy that the citizens know their rights not go around the law when someone challenges your authority. I have to tolerate a lot of things that really really annoy me...does that mean I should lobby for a ordinance? No!! Cant we coexist without so many regulations that impede on our freedoms. Now I have been a democrat for all my life a moderate one but still one, but the other side is looking more appealing to me as these things come up in my life.
Now that I am done venting...lol I want to say that I am looking forward to a nice summer with the kids. I also am GOING back to school!!! Yep I want to finish up my BA in CJ which I only have 18 month to complete and then I am going to apply to law school. I have let my weight hold me back long enough and I am so ready...just in case your wondering what kind of law I will focus on...its civil rights lol....are you surprised?
Week 6 I ran....
May 18, 2009
OMG what else can I say it left me speechless. I am leaving to Texas on Thursday morning to get my first fill!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!
I'm excited but nervous, of course because I have not experienced this yet. I am looking forward to losing more weight, I have not lost anything this week so it will be a welcomed change. I discovered these pure protein bars, you can buy them at wal-mart. They are heavenly and when you eat them you feel like you are being very naughty!! I got the chocolate peanut butter ones OMG
Most of all I was tired of drinking my protein..I would rather eat it. Life with the band is becoming routine and thank god because in the beginning I was afraid I would fail because I did not know how to do this, but with a little time and practice I've learned and I am looking forward to the rest of my life....Thank You BAND!!
Week 5
May 13, 2009
Eating is ok, I get about 500-800 cals a day. I feel full after just a little food. I still want a fill though. I have my first fill scheduled for next week and am so excited. Although I get full fast it don't last that long and I find myself starving in between meals. I am on regular diet now. I tried a cracker yesterday, but it did not sit well with me at all. I hope this is not a sign that I cant have breads. OMG what I miss the most is pancakes!!!!!
I need to exercise more, but it seems as soon as I get a routine something happens that takes my attention away. I need to make me a priority for once and my husband and kids are just going to have to accept it!
So week five is good and I feel great!!
One Month
May 05, 2009
I have been walking the one mile track at the park by my house. I manage 2 laps and can do more if I really wanted to. I have been tracking my food and exercise on the daily plate and twice this week went into the negative with my cals vs my activities...maybe I'm not eating enough??? Who knows I find it hard to make the 1200 cal mark, well actually have not been over 1000. When I see my doc on the 21st I really need to ask him what amount of cals are expected. I'm afraid if I tell him that I cant get enough cals then he wont fill my band, when it really has nothing to do with restriction but that I need time to get my water in and if I'm eating 3 times a day plus 2 snacks then I wont get enough water. Its a struggle everyday to find the balance....UGH.
Mother's day is Sunday and the whole family is coming to my house so this ought to be fun...OMG in our culture its all about the rice, beans, tortillas, chili, and cheese!!! That has been the hardest for me. I want to dive into a huge plate of enchiladas covered with cheese and sour cream yum!!! Ok food porn fantasy!!!
