It's been a long time friedns since I've posted to my blog. I had my 3 year anniversary yesterday. Although I'm happy about where I am I still would like to loose more. I guess you know I have not met my goal weight. There is still more work to do and I will need some of your work to get back on track. I'm such a bad girl. CHOW for now.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. SORRY FOR NOT CHECKING IN. LIFE IS CRAZY. WEIGHT HAS BEEN A ROLLER COSTER. I'M UP 20 POUNDS WITH THE STRESSORS OF LIFE. NEED SUPPORT TO GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK. UPDATED PICTURES WILL FOLLOW SOON. HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU GUYS. TTYL.

Well I had to call Dr. Dallal and ask for an appointment ahead of time since I didn't lose any weight.  His office gave me one. I went in and I received a fill of 1cc. Initially I didn't see any difference but the scale says something else.  I don't see him again until October 28 and I am already down to 205lbs.  I gotta keep pushing. CHOW!

Well I didn't make it through Ramadan.  I was too dehydrated to make it through the days.  I started headaches everyday, eye pain and worst of all extreme thirst.  I started a donation bag for the needy.  That will be my donation in place of fasting.Then in addition to it all, I gained 2.5 pounds. So I will be getting a fill before October 8.  Until the next post, good luck all.

ok, it's the holy month of Ramadan.  I'm okay with fasting thus far.  I guess this is the beginning to a weight loss jump start.  Well I went shopping with the hubby the other day and bought two pair of jeans and guess what?  Today they are too big.  I need the next size down.  I'm gonna keep eating at sun down and pray for a great weigh in in October.
CHOW!

Hello all,
I know it's been a couple of months since my last post and I haven't given up.  I don't know where to start but I will start off by saying I have been through a lot since my last post.  I was unhappy with not losing any weight.  I had to do something different which was learn my band. After trying to push myself and a few episodes of vomiting.  How quickly did I learn?  Oh, VERY!
I sat down talked it out and got to moving.  I started to loose some weight. At my last visit I lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks. Then what do you know? I lose my grandmother.  Then on top of that I had a few other family issues.  However, I'm stronger.  Weight lost for me has been a lil better.  So I'm happy and still pushing forward to my goal. At least I'm not gaining any weight. My wieght at my last visit was 213. So, there is hope.  My next appt is in October.  With me not getting a fill this last time, I can't be sure what will happen.  I'll just keep pushing.  Before I go, I anticipate posting new picks soon just to show some of my success. 

So here it goes.  I went for my visit and didn't loose a pound.  I'm still stuck at 223.  Wow a whole 5 weeks and no weight loss.  I coulda just screamed.  Dr. Dallal gave me a fill of 1cc. I thought I could of gotten more but he said the amount in the band doesn't matter.  So now I'm at 4ccs.  Let's pray for some weight to fall off by next visit.

OMG! today I had an appointment with my surgeon for a follow up.  He thinks I'm in the optimum zone with my band.  I think NOT!  Although I am proud of the 8 pound lost in the past month.  I think he still could have given me at least 1 cc.  He said no.  I'm thinking I only have 3ccs in my band. Come on and help a sister out.  Still no fill.  I had to listen to him preach abpout me being down 46lbs in 3months. Still NO FILL. Better luck next months.  Unitl then I'm back to my journey.

Hello fam.  I.m happy but unhappy today.  I had my second fill today.  I ONLY lost 4 pounds since my last fill.  I guess I have more restriction but I don't know.  I feel happy that I have not gained any weight.  However, I would like to have lost more.  I have an idea what I'm doing wrong so I plan on correcting it.  Until my next fill I have several new goals.  I'm gonna say mini goals.  LOL.  I want to loose 10 lbs befor the next fill.  Wish me luck.

I'm beginning to understand the new me.  My band sends me signals that I never picked up on.  I noticed that
I'm becoming aware of my band and how much food the new stomach can hold.  I can now gauge how much food to place on my plate along with how much or when I may drink.  This new self awareness has made me happy.  So unitl the next fill(#2) I will have to try for catching up.  Thanks BAF for your support.
