9/12/2008 :   I didn't loose ay weight this week, but I won't let that get me down.  I'm going to try that much harder this week!!  I haven't been able to work out this week, because my gym membership was expired.  I was going to do my walking with Leslie DVD, which I highly reccommend, by the way, but I couldn't find it      I have a very busy weekend, so I should be able to keep my mind of food and temptations. 
I'm going to do the Special K diet for two weeks, hoping to loose another pants size.  I squeezed myself into a pair of strech 24's.  It looked like someone painted them on.  I'm still wearing my 28's but they are very loose.  I'm going to go shopping tonight, possibly for a dress.  My bestfriend is turning 21 and I might look cute in a dress...with some Spanx.
I'm hoping on my nxt weigh in I will be at a total of 40 pounds.  I have to go to the doctor again on the 17th, and I don't want to be in the same position I was when I went for my one month. 

9/18/2008 : I gained two pounds this week.  I still don't want to get myself down about it becuase I've been working out so much.  I had my 2nd fill yesterday and according to the doctor I'm doing just fine.  I feel like I lost an entire month becuase I never really felt full.  I now have 6cc's in my band and I still don't feel a whole lot of restriction, but I guess until I have 8-12 cc's is going to have to be a mind game.  I'm trying to stay motivated.   I have 3 things I'm going to focus on weekly.  A few of the things are, make sure and get in 50 grams of protien, drink 64 ounces of water, workout for 45 minutes 4 times a week, watch my calorie intake, limit carbs, some weeks I won't have any carbs.  I'm hoping to loose 5 pounds every week. 
This is the first year as an adult i'm going to wear a halloween costume, and I want to be 300lbs when I wear it.  I think this is possible.  I have about 6 weeks.  We'll see.  If not, I will at least know I tried.
I'm still going to do the special k diet for 2 weeks, i'm just waiting until the 1st week of october.
 
9/29/2008: So I lost the 2 pounds I had gained, that's a plus.  I really want to get in the 320's.  I bought an AB Lounge, and I've been using it every night.  I really love it.  I haven't been going to the gym as much as I should, and there is nothing to blame but myself.  Work is getting really stressful, and we are having a lot of mandatory overtime, which leaves me no time for myself.  I just have to remember what is important.  My main focus should be myself.  It's hard for me to put myself first.  I want everyone else to be happy.   In a few days I will go ahead and start the special k diet.  By the way.. Special K ceral ; Fruit and yogart, is soooo good.  I could eat it for the rest of my life! 

I had my first fill on the 18th of this month.  That was very easy, but i still don't have much restriction.  I can eat a decent amount of food, i just have to remember to chew really well.

I'm down 33 pounds.  I was hoping for more, but my doctor says i'm on track.  I will just take it one day at a time.  I bought a gym membership also and I try to work out 4 times a week. =)

My gosh, I've been forgetting to post.  I've been so busy!!

I went to my 1 week post-op appointment friday and everything went well!

At my appointment I was down 26 pounds.

2 days after my appointment I was up one pound.

3 days after I was down that same pound.

4 days after I was up 3 pounds.

I don't know what the deal is.  I know my BM's are irregular and I have also started working out daily.  I hope everything is back to normal tomorrow and I'm just in a funk. 

I will post tomorrow with my weight.

Any suggestions would be great!!

I don't get my first fill until the 18th of this month.

My grandma is  coming to see me  today :)  She came  and saw me Friday  evening and brought  me a beautiful orchid!!

Something is wrong  with the TV and I can't figure out how to work my borhter's PS3 so I can watch PS I Love You on Blu-Ray.  So I'm stuck.  All I have  is  the  computer  and  music.  OMG. 


**by the way, I'm not a retard.  I don't know what's wrong with OH today, but half of my words are coming together.  I know how to use a space bar!**
