Superwoman!!!!

Jan 25, 2009

Today is Monday and I feel like today is the weekend,  I am not dragging like I usually do on Mondays.  I fee like I can conquer anything that comes my way.  I feel unusually strong.  I feel like superwoman,   I am wondering where all of this energy is coming from?  Although I am feeling like this I am going to be cautious,   I do not want to get besides myself.  I remember the last time I was trying to loose weight I became overly confident and put myself in some compromising situations that allowed me to easily mess up.  Do not get me wrong I love feeling good about myself but I have to remember that I have not arrived yet.  I still have a long journey ahead so I need to save some of this energy for that.

MY Confession (part 1)

Jan 24, 2009

Well, Friday night I backslid a little,  I was naughty.  I had been craving chocolate so instead of eating a sugar free choc late jello pudding snack as I usually do,  I ate a big brownie from 7- eleven and a 3 musketeer candy bar.  Boy did I pay for it.  My stomach was hurting sooo bad and I had a terrible headache.  When I used to eat sweets like this before I would feel just fine.  I guess it is a good thing that I can not eat sweets like this any more because that is what was keeping my weight on.  I am a sugar addict.  The good news is that I quickly jumped back on my healthy eating and work out routine.  Although there was no weight gain that I could see, I truly believe that there would have been a greater weight loss if I had not eaten all that stuff.  With my surgery so close and the amt of weight that I still have 2 loose I am disappointed in myself because this is serious business.  (no time for brownies and candy bars!!!!!)  While I am confessing I also had a pack of cookies

Trying to hold on

Jan 15, 2009

I could kick my self that I waited until the last minute to try and loose weight for my surgery.  My consult was on nov. 13  and at that time the doctor's assistant told me that they wanted me to loose 30 pounds before surgery,  so what do I do?  I start trying  30 days before my surgery.  Oh boy am I catching it.  I feel so light headed because I stopped eating sweets cold turkey.  I usually perform better under pressure but this is alittle to much pressure.  Well I have to do what I have to do.  People please if your doctor tells you to loose weight before surgery do it as soon as he tells you,  Do not wait until the last minute like I did.

Lap Band Or Bypass?

Jan 14, 2009

Hello  I am looking for some input.  With only a few weeks away from my surgery I am torn between the band and the bypass.  I would like to know if there is any one out there that is/was 360+ pounds who has reached their ideal weight with the lap band.  the doctor is telling me that statistically most people only loose up to 60% of their excess weight.  But I do not want to be a statistic.  I want to reach my ideal weight but I want to do it slow and not to fast.

How tight is to tight?

Jan 13, 2009

Hello everyone,  I just read a post about the disadvantages of having your band to
 tight.  I was not aware that a doctor would allow a persons band to be tighter than need be.  I  will not be banded until 2/9/09 and I have no idea when my first fill will be  but when I do get a fill will it be my responsibility to tell the doctor that my
band is too tight or will the doctor automatically know?  Can some one please explain and ease my troubled mind!!!
