170's Have Arrived!!
Jul 26, 2008
Well, I thought I would never see the 170's, but today on the scale I reached 179! That is SO awesome! I am almost down 25 pounds, thats how much my 5 year old son weighs for cryin' out loud! Think of all the things that weigh 23 pounds, and then I was carrying that around with me everyday, crazzzzy!! Well, I am having my second fill in 10 days, I am hoping that will really keep me full like it should. Hope all you guys are doing great, I love to hear all your stories. God Bless!!

Another pound today! YES! I am 180, almost to the 170's baby!!! Woo Hoo!! I am so pumped and energized about getting to my goal. This is such a great feeling, it's like the best high imaginable! I have been doing tao-bo workouts in the morning followed by the excersice ball. Then in the afternoon I either go to the gym for an hour of cardio or take an hour walk. I have been following the rules pretty closely and it seems to be paying off!
Life is Great!

Well, what a great thing to wake up every morning and see the scale go down! Today I am down to 181 from 202, that's 21 pounds! I feel so great, my energy is through the roof and I am down from a size 18 pants to a 16, and from a 2x top to a large. I can definetly tell in my face and my stomach. I have been working out 5 days a week and I am so thrilled with the decision I made to do this surgery. It is changing my life! 
Workin It!!

Yesterday I ate really healthy! Dense meats and lots of complex carbs! I also played in a ladies golf tournament, which was great excersice!! It must have paid off because I lost another 1.5 pounds! YES! I am down 19.5 pounds now, getting down to 20 should be easy if I stick to it! Feeling great, hope you are too!!
Im BACK!!

Well, I kinda went baserk on my birthday which was 7/11. I did great in the morning, but when we all went out to a fancy dinner, all my rules went right out the window! I had steak, crab, a baked potato with all the toppings, bread with butter and chocolate cake for dessert :( Man did I pay the price that night and the next day! I gained 2 pounds and then felt crappy for a week ,so I kinda grazed my way through the week with unhealthy snacks! I gained a total of 3 pounds and felt horrible!
I had my first fill yesterday, YEAH!! She went right in the first time and it was totally painless! She said if I am not getting that "full" feeling by Thursday, to call and she will get me right in for more! I lost a pound today, so now I am down 18 pounds again. I was down 19 on my birthday, so I hope to hit 20 by the end of this weekend! I know I can do it!! I just needed to put my head back on straight! Hope your all doing better than me on your journey! Let me know!!

Discouraged!!
Jul 05, 2008
Well, It's been 3 days now ans my damn weight hasn't changed a bit! I am starting to get discouraged!! I guess I can't continue on with 1 pound a day (although it sure would be nice). I have been so good with food choices and portions and getting about 5-6 hours of cardio in a week. I am extremely ready for my fill and hope that boosts my weight loss again. That's all for now, hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
Im Workin' It !!

Yesterday I cleaned the entire house and even mowed and edged the yard. That was like going to the gym for many hours! It must have paid off because I am down 17 pounds now in 18 days! I started at 202 ad I'm down this morning to 185. I am really used to eating healthy now, I don't even crave sugar and soda anymore. This surgery has been the best thing I have ever done for myself! I am so thrilled with the results! Lets keepin goin!!
I Made It!!
Jul 01, 2008
Our family just got back from a trip to the mountains. We went with the in laws and stayed in a cabin. It was lots of fun, and LOTS of temptation!! My in-laws brought cookies, candy, chips, desserts and lots of other stuff I should never eat again! I am so thankful to say that I didn't put ONE thing in my mouth that shouldn't have been there. I brought all my own food and took walks or bike rides every day. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, I really look forward to getting on the scale......that keeps me on track. Plus, if I feel like I am going to cheat or eat the house down, I grab an apple or banana and get out of the house! ii weighed in today at 186.5, thats a total of 15.5 pounds since surgery day 17 days ago!! Yippee!!
Fatigue?
Jun 26, 2008
Lost ANOTHER pound today, YEE HAW!!!! I feel very tired today though. I did my hour of cardio at the gym and also did a few crunches and ab excersices. I am so thankful to God and the blessing he has laid upon me. I truely feel so blessed and really anxious for people to start noticing!!
Post Op Update
Jun 25, 2008
Well, I had my post op appointment today. I am officially down 13 pounds in 11 days! I attended the 2 nutrition classes and a lot of other people are hungry like me. The nurse said thats totally normal since our band isn't closed yet. My first fill is set for 7/21, so I have 26 more days to go! I am really noticing today how much easier it is now that my body is getting "used" to small, healthy portions and daily work outs. I am very proud of myself and look forward to actually seeing a difference in myself when I look in the mirror. Yeah me!!!!!
