 Ok....so after getting pregnant 6 months after having the lap band put in....having a horendous pregnancy and then basically throwing up every thing I ate for a year and a half (you would think that I would be skinny but no dummy me just switched to milkshakes and smoothies and icecream....thats a fat chick for ya) I finally was able to find a doctor who would take care of the problem.  NOBODY wants to fill your band or do anything else to you if you didn't have your surgery with them.  So on July 23rd 2012 they removed my lap band and converted it to a bypass. 

That was three weeks ago....I am down 39lbs so far....of course I am still on clear liquids....going to the nut next week..hopefully we can move up to creamed stuff...I am ready.

Ok...it has been forever since I have even been on here!! I found out in September that I was pregnant! Apparently my rapid weight loss must of let free some eggs! It wasnt something that I planned on, but after a long horrible pregnancy I had a beautiful little baby boy!!!

They had to take all of my fluid out of my band because I was throwing up multiple times daily....which ended up being good because it didnt let up during the entire pregnancy. So yesterday I went and had fluid put back in my band. I was really nervous thinking he was going to start out with 1cc...which would take me forever to get back up to where i was with the 8ccs he took out. But i was lucky..he actually put in 7.5 ccs...but that was too tight...he said it was because I am still 10lbs heavier than I was before I was pregnant so he took out 1cc and Im good to go for now with the 6ccs!  Im on liquids right now..which is tough cuz I could eat whatever during the entire pregnancy so I got out of the habit of taking small bites and chewing alot...so I will have to work on that again. Im really excited and so ready to get back into this! hoping I can loose a few pounds before I go home this summer!

Uggh...my band is sooooooooooooo tight right now! I know it is only because it is that time of the month...but geeesh...I can barely get anything down..wouldnt it be great to be done with my period and have lost a bunch of weight!! yeah right!!

Well I posted my July pictures...I am 72lbs down...feels like it is going so slow!! but it has only been 5 and a half months...I am down two sizes in my shirts..this one is a 2x....i was wearing a 4x..how embarassing...how did I ever let myself get to be such a big huge person?

I know I am a food addict...I still am...I obsess over it though...I should write everything down..but I always forget...so I am always thinking about how much I ate and if it is too much...right now cant really eat too much...

We are leaving in a couple days to go to my parents..cant wait...nobody really knows but my parents that I even had surgery....I wonder if anybody would be able to tell..probably not...my step daughter came home..and she didnt notice anything since the last time she saw me....neither did my step son when he saw me...oh well....I dont really feel like I  look any different. I FEEL different...I can do things better and have more energy...but still in the grand scheme of things I am still morbidly obese..and have a super long way to go...so I guess I will just keep on plucking away at it. I hope I can loose some when I am home as we will be on the go constantly...we will seeeee!!!

Ugghh...the Army is a pain...I didnt realize that Fort Bliss was such a HUGE post...They have a HUGE hospital with everything in it...but apparently they have different clinics and you have to be assigned to a specific one...well..wel finally got that done today so I can call tomorrow....but no way will they get my referral in time before i leave for new york next week. we are there for three weeks...so i cant get another fill....not that i have been doing too bad...

i went to my new curves today...it isnt very nice..not like the one I went to in Sierra Vista...but it will do...hopefully once I get enough weight off I can go tot he regular gym...plus they have lots of water areobics classes here..and i was thinking about doing zumba...

I guess we will see!

We have now been in the hell that is El Paso for about a week now...I found the Curves here but havent had a chance to get down there yet. So busy unpacking...I know that isnt an excuse but seriously by the end of the day I am falling into bed and every inch of my body hurts.

I have finally hit the 70lb mark. I am 290 yippie!! I will NEVER see 300lbs again..NEVER!  I have a little while before our trip to NY...I was hoping to be down to 280 by then. That is my next goal as that was what I weighed when I got pregnant...

I think I found a doctor down here in El Paso...the nurse at Dr. Monash's office reccommended them. But I have to get an appointment at the army clinic to get a freaking referal..what a pain...

I dont know if I need a fill or not. I cant even remember what i have in my band..I think 7.5ccs . Sometimes I feel really restricted and others I feel like I can eat alot. It depends on what I am eating too. Chicken is still a no go...it feels stuck right away...I can eat a ton of lettuce...no kidding I could probably eat a whole head of it if I wanted too.  I HAVE to start remembering NOT to drink after I eat...if feels awful...very painful..but sometimes I am so thirsty after I eat...makes me crazy!! 

I need to get back in the gym and start working out again..although lifting all these boxes is quite a work out as well!!!

Ok...went to get my traveling pass from Curves..So I got weighed and measured so I would have it for the next place...

I am VERY happy with the results!! I was so happy when that big weight on the scale..got moved to the 250 mark instead of the 300lb!! How exciting!  I am so glad that I get measured..it really does boost my confidence, since I still feel so FAT..well i AM still so fat!! People that dont know me have no idea how hard I have been working..how much I have lost...but I can tell the difference in everything I do!! 

This is the date period I was a bit late getting these done. So April 28th thru June 12. this is what I lost!

Thighs -.50  in each

Arms -.50 in each


Total -16.75 inches!

I have been going to Curves for two and a half

months and have had my lap bad for five

months.

The TOTAL amount that I have lost in the past

two and a half months while at Curves:


Bust: -6.50 in

Waist - 4.50 in

Abdomen - 5.50 in

Hips -7.00in

Thighs -1.50  in each

Arms -.50 in each

Total -27.50 inches!

BMI-4.65

As of today...I have lost a total of 67lbs in five

months since my lap band! I am a VERY happy
girl!

My body is changing so much! All of my clothes are getting too big! Yeahh!! My underwear are HUGE on me...I am so happy with my body change that I am not even embarassed to post this!! My husband was picking on me earlier..telling me I didnt have enough ass to fill out my underwear! What a compliment! I cant wait to keep on going! I am saying goodbye and good riddance to 300lbs forever!

Slowly but surely it is coming off. i guess i just want instant gradification so bad. i just want to be THIN...quickly...but I need to be patient!! It took me a longtime to get to be the size I am.

I guess the depressing part of it for me is when I went shopping the other day....I just want to find a couple dresses...and ofcourse everything they had at Ross for less(because I dont want to spend a ton) in the plus size dresses was just pretty ugly....then I found a dress that I LOVED! ofcourse it wasnt plus sized and was just stuck in the wrong size. I keep thinking I want to go back and get it because I really liked it...and can work towards it...its only 12 bucks and its Micheal Kors...I dont ever buy things that dont fit me...but maybe this will be a first and maybe i will work extra hard to get into it....i dont know..I will have to think bout it more!

I guess I just disgust myself because I have lost a large amount of weight so far...but I am still considered super obese...even once I loose 100 pounds I still will be. That is pretty discouraging. So even with 65lbs off...I still cant buy super cute clothes or anything.

My next goal is 280 that is where I was at before I got pregnant...so thats the number I am working towards right now. so only 15 pounds to go!!  I decided to set myself up wiht little mini goals...because that doesnt look as daunting as the total amount that i want to loose. 175 is my final goad but that is over a hundred pounds away.  So after the 280 my next goal is 260..thats how much I was when I met Rick.....then 235 because that is when I felt super sexy as a plus size chick.....then 200...because I havent weighted 200 or below since I was in high school!!  I think that breaks it up enough where possibly it wont be so overwhelming and I will have accomplished a goal!!! 

My band is pretty tight right now. It still amazes me that some things I can eat a ton of...and others two bites and im done..like salad i swear i could eat a whole head of lettuce...but if I eat chicken..two bites and Im done! weird!!

Well off to get some things done...we are almost ready to move!! house is empty just cleaning!!!!

Went in to Dr. Monash's today. I was kind of concerned. Sometimes my band feels TOO tight and other times I can eat ALOT...the past week or so it feels really super tight...he said that it will flux with my health...like if I have allergies acting up or my period..so that explains the past week.

I need to really get my butt in gear. I am up to 63lbs lost..but I have been eating kind of bad lately. Esp the last week..I just want chocolate chocolate chocolate...I guess it is a raging case of pms...but I need to get it under control...the move is stressing me out I am looking around me at the piles of boxes..and empty walls...there is still so much to do!! 

Ive been bad with the exercise..havent done that yet this week...again I am blaming the PMS and the moving stress!!

the Doc put in a half a cc...so we will see what that does...I was kind of confused because a month ago or so I was up to 8ccs and WAY too tight...I couldnt even drink water...so then they took out 1cc...it was better but still too tight...so then they took out 1/2 cc....and he just put one back in...so we will see what it does...maybe I am just eating to much period..maybe it is all my fault cuz I am not doing it right? I really try...but it is so hard!!!  I definately think that I could have lost more weight by now...but I am still struggling...sometimes I feel like the food just calls out to me...if I have any kind of bad snack in the house...I feel like I have to eat it...so I try really hard not to have anything...I never can have just one...I have to have it ALL! I disgust myself with it. But am trying not to beat myself up too much and just do the best that I can. I HAVE lost weight..although I feel like I probably could have lost alot more by now if I would be totally good every day ever second!! I wish I had some will power! so hopefully the fill will help some more!

Ok I admit it...I went to Coldstone Creamery and I had a Cookie Doughn't you have some...it was delicious...i could have taken off all my clothes and rolled in it....but I ate it instead....I know its bad....I did go right to the gym after...does that count for anything?

Ok...I'm probably more excited than this warrents..but I lost three more pounds so I am BELOW 300 lbs!! 62LBS down...so that brings me at 298!! I am soooooo excited!! I havent been below 300 in over 5 years!! This was my first goal and I did it!!! yeahh me! Now my next goal is the next 60lbs.....Actually when my husband gets done with the SGM Academy and we have to go get new ID cards...I would REALLY like to weigh a good weight that I would actually PUT on my id card! Ive been lying on it for years!!! Right now my ID card says 207lbs....so it would be nice to be below that...and not be ashamed when they ask for the weight.....I have a year to do it!! I think I can do it!
