05/26/2006rnToday I just had my first consult with Dr. Pohl. I find he has a little bit of a sense of humor. I like that. I found him to be very direct and informative. I am looking forward to be working with him. rnrnrn

    Wishing that your surgery is a safe one. Continue to work hard on your wl journey. In the beginning the soup and mushy foods are hard but but you will get use to it. Then one day you will wake up and say wow I am not hungry today. God bless you. Keep me posted.

I am 27, a mother of seven month old son. I have been over-weight pretty much my whole life. Both my parents are/were over-weight. It's believed that being over-weight was one of the things that ended my father's life at a young age. I have done the yo-yo dieting for many years. I have gotten down to a low weight once on Jenny Craig plan but as soon as we stopped going and I started high school I gained all my weight back and then some. It's been a losing battle ever since. I have gained 170 pounds since my lowest weight at the age of sixteen. I have gained 90 pounds since high school. I have gained 55 pounds in the last two years. Since having my baby in March of 2005 I had lost all my baby weight and 6 pounds more. I am only 15 pounds away from my highest weight when I was 9 months pregnant. I am getting frustrated and overwhelmed and scared that at this pace I won't be around long to see my son grow. I have looking at surgery as an option. I have done some research here and there. I just don't know where to start. 11/16/2005

It's been awhile since I have posted anything here.

I am now down almost 150 pounds since my surgery. It's been a long and bumpy road.  A lot of my slow weight loss has been due to personal issues.  It's hard to lose weight when someone is telling you that you don't look good and keeps trying to fatten you up.

Well I have finally gotten out that dysfunctional relationship.  I think now my life will start to move forward in the right direction both for myself and my son.

I need to start to exercise more regularly.  I haven't been able to.  I just haven't gotten as much extra time on my hands as I would like.  I do try to park farther away and walk more often. I take the stairs all the time instead of the elevator.  

My son is now 5 pushing 6 and has joined hockey. He is loving it. I love that finally he is in a sport and is being active.

I do find now that I have hit the sweet spot so to speak that I don't have as many options for food that I can eat. So it has been kind of boring do eat. Takes me longer to get done my food and harder for me to fit in all my water in take. I am trying though so that's a good thing.

I haven't decided where I want my weight loss journey to end, if it's another 60 pounds or 40.  I am now in a regular size 14 and some items a 12. I still see myself in the mirror a size 24. I am not sure when my brain will ever catch up with the weight that I have lost.

I think of this site often and I tell everyone to come check it out. I haven't forgotten the friends that I have made here. I am so happy that the site still exists.

Once I am finally done and at my goal weight for a least a year I am going to try to pursue plastic surgery. I have so much skin hanging out and I just feel so trapped. I think once I finally get rid of this I will be the whole person I want to be.

I just got another fill today. I am now up to 2.9 I think.  I know before he filled me i was 2.6 and he said he was going to be putting in .3 more in.  So I am just assuming that is where I am.  I am sooo slow at losing.  But, I am stil losing weight.

Hey All!

I am back from my cruise.  Boy was it a busy time.  Swam and walked a lot.  And the food was wonderful.   I go for my first fill this week too.  I didn't get a chance to step on the scale since I have come home.  I don't know if I have gained any weight or maintianed while was I was cruising.   Needless to say my two year old didn't keep me still during the trip.  I didn't get much time to relax.  I hope to scan some pictures soon that I took on the boat as well as get some developed and scanned as well to share with you all. 

I just wanted to stop by and say hi and hope all is well with everyone!

I know I haven't been on here for while really. I have been getting ready for the cruise I am going on and getting ready for the big Brooks Layoff that has been going on. I work in corporate. So corporate is going be all gone soon. Anyway, I got the stomach virus late Sunday night. Oh boy was that the worse night. I didn't sleep much. And then BAM!!! Around three AM I vomited. It was the worst thing I have ever felt after being banded. I didn't really have anything in my system other than flat ginger ale and water. When I was vomiting my stomach actually felt like it was milking it's self. I had a bunch of dry heaves and then the fluid came above the band and out. Then again later on that morning the same thing. It was the worst feeling ever. I never EVER want to be sick and vomit again in my life. Knock me out next time so I don't know what is going on please. Gosh. Then the next few days I was feeling queasy and I rested. I finally ate something late Tuesday afternoon. I was too scared to eat or drink anything that wasn't water.

Well anyway, I am doing good. I am still slowly losing weight. I am a bad girl when it comes to exercising. I haven't been doing much. I have been more active in life, just not exercising like I need to start. I need to get my life in to focus and things together. So many life changes are going on at once and it's very overwhelming I must say. It will balance out soon I hope.
