He did my EEG which was cool... and he seem to be a concerned doctor that has a cool confidence about him.

My 3rd Anniversary
on August 30, 2007 6:40 am
In reflections it is so amazing to me that I still had this surgery done.  I can definatly say that having my tool it is definatly a lifestyle change.  I am now noticing that people those that know me are beginning to notice the weight loss as of today i've lost between 50-52 pounds somewhere in between and I'm very happy.  I've had 2 fills and honestly I think i'm at great restriction.  This one has whooped my behind because I can really real each bite that I take.  One good benefit to this is that you get a chance to experience what real hunger is all about as well as what its like to be full.  You don't have to worry about overeating because it simply won't let you.  I'm not sure if I posted my last Doc's Appointments results but here goes.  I had a lot of lab work done and its a blessing from God to know that i'm not a diabetic, all of my counts are perfect only thing i'm working on now is my blood pressure and lets face it its hereditary in my family.  Now i'm treading the waters with 280 into 270's land and i'm ready to go full steam ahead.  Down Below is my weight progress chart.  It's been by popular demand that I update my stats in whats going on with me so here you are sugermate.  LOL You know who you are i'm giving you a shout out!  Now that i'm thinking about it ... it will be my goal to lose 20 more pounds by October.  Since i've now posted it on my blog lets see if I can make it.  Foward to my 4th month anniversary chooo choo.

2nd Month Anniversary
on July 24, 2007 6:22 am
Hello Bloggers,

I think i'm making it a trend to reflect over each anniversary I pass.  Well on July 21, 2007 it marked my second one.  Humm lets see what can I say on this one.  I reintroduced crackers and a little more carbs into my diet and I've even dabbled a little into the demond "cookie dough" blast at sonics.  I don't support sweets but I do notice that I don't OD on sweets anymore and I actually know when to leave food on my plate and leave the table.  I've made it to my goal of being in the 280's group not necessarily on my birthday but a couple of days after.  I'm working out in the gym and noticing that my body is thanking me for it.  

A couple of things i've notice is the change in shape my body is making.  I'm losing weight in some of the oddest places.  Most of the time when I dieted pre-op I lost weight in the dumbest places like my fingers, toes stupid places but now i've lost most of my "girls" the little behind I did have and my stomach has actually deflated.  I've noticed that this weight loss is a overall body loss type of deal.  So when I try on different clothes or look at my body i'm like OMG not the girls but then again I look again and say Hummm not bad.  So in my reflections I noticed that i've only lost close to 10 pounds from last month till now which im happy with but in my third months anniversary I want to be in the 270-260 range so as I get back on the tracks.... FULL STEAM AHEAD WHOO WHOOO.

My First Fill
on July 6, 2007 8:03 pm
On July 5th I had my first fill done.  It's almost surreal that God has blessed me to make it thus far.  I had a very interesting experience.  For me when things are done whether it being blood drawn or my blood pressure taken it has to be done two or three times.  Well in typical fashen I had to be poked 2 times until finally they struck gold under flora something other.  It was so cool I was able to see my spine and my port site.  It truly made me feel like I was truly banded.  That was a totally wow moment.  Well after the doc gave me my first fill of 1cc in my 10 to 9.75 cc band I am experiencing my first day with my fill.  So far so good.  I did over do it yesterday in eating and maybe a little today but its a hit and miss type of deal.  I can't wait to watch the weight drop again and see what happens.  FULL STEAM AHEAD WHOO WHOO.

One Month Anniversary
on June 25, 2007 6:40 am
On June 21, 2007 it marked my first month anniversary.  In reflections I've noticed a lot of changes has happen to me in my first month.  I've learned that i'm eating to live and not living to eat anymore.  My dependencies on sweets are almost non-existant and the fast food industry has taken a beating in profits because there star customer "Me" has abondened them.  I have to say being 297 as of today I feel like the new "old" me.  I am actually one pound less then what I was when I was pursing this surgery the first time in 2003.  I do not have acid reflux anymore and my heart is beating regularly.  I am in love with exercising and over all I'm thinking this journey was worth every penny of it.  I've had to learn what to eat, how to eat, what to blend etc. etc and it has been an amazing ride.  As of now i've gone from a 26-28 to a 22-24 and dropping.  My family is very supportive at times but even they get a little weight fatigued with me.  I feel its a family journey as well as individual because they have to put up with your "emotional mood swings" just as much as you do.  I feel quite blessed and honored that God has blessed me to be healed and i'm full steam ahead on my tracks.  My first goal was to make it to 299 i've passed that one.  My next mini goal is to be 290 by my 28th birthday on July 2nd.  I only have a few pounds to go before goal.  I have to come up with a new long term goal because as I said before FULL STEAM AHEAD!
