Time flies
Mar 18, 2013
I haven't posted anything in a long long time.
Since the last time I have had many changes. I moved, my oldest moved away and I had the lap-band removed on February 7, 2013. I had a revision to the Roux en-y.
I decided to have the change done when I moved to Georgia. For a couple of reasons - 1) I couldn't get a fill because my port was flipped and it was too painful and couldn't be done even under floro. 2) doctors do not want to take lapband patients that were not theirs to begin with and since I moved to Georgia from Michigan I was in a pickle. 3) I gained all the weight back that I originally lost since I couldn't use the lapband as the tool it is supposed to be.
Now that I am almost 6 weeks out and have lost 30 pounds already I am sooooooo happy I made the choice for the revision. I will start posting more and becoming more active on this site. I need the support since I quit everything when I decided to have the surgery. My body has been asking WTF are you doing to me. I quit smoking, eating sugar and fat, only one cup of coffee and no emotional eating. It is all good but has been difficult as I have been going through the motions..
I SUCK right now!
Jul 17, 2007
Well I really have not been doing very well. I really am a whiner but I just want to post that I am not doing very well. I am really wondering if I did the right thing. I still eat a lot of food and I still really crave the sweets and stuff. I really want to get on track. I got a gym membership but have only gone a couple of times. I still eat all the crap that I shouldn't. For dinner tonight I had 3 slices of pizza and cinnamon sticks. I am still drinking all my water but other than that I am not making good food choices. I just have to get back on the ball. I will DO IT Finally!!!!
My Motivation
May 30, 2007
This is me now at 195 pounds.
This is me at goal at 115 pounds.
Now this is my motivation to work my "tool". I went and had this surgery so I can get healthy. I have not been doing that and am going to start getting off my butt and work it. No more junk to eat and no more sitting on my butt and watching tv. I want to sweat and get out side. I need to get healthy.
Just another complaint!
May 22, 2007
Well I am really not doing to hot. Yesterday I ate all the crap that should not be aloud in my house and had Wendy's for dinner on top of that. I am under a lot of stress, $$$$ related as usual so I am putting off all the other things that are so important.
Well that needs to stop! I need to pay attention to me. I went to my PCP's office on Tuesday, May 15th and weighed in at 196.6. So I have lost a little but I have not really been walking these last 2 weeks. Last week I was sick and this week I just haven't.
It is time to get my butt in gear!!! Stop eating crap, no more Starbucks, or get the sugar free, fat free stuff. An iced latte is just as good.
I did quit smoking - AGAIN! but I think this time will be for good. I really have been okay with it just going through withdrawls makes me want to much on sugar and salt. I will start taking a walk when I want to smoke that way I won't eat. Or drink a large glass of water.
This week I will lose - I hope :-) Sunday will be hard with the BBQ and all but I have to say NO to crappy food.

Week 3 - July 4th Challenge
May 09, 2007
I need a better scale. I think I have lost maybe 1.5 pounds since the start of the challenge 2 weeks ago. I have started walking about 2-3 miles a couple of times a week and still am getting in most of my water each day. I have had a couple of bad days but we won't talk about that... I will do better next week.
I still need to get my measurements!!!!!

Update
Mar 28, 2007
Well I am doing a lot better then when I posted last time. I am scheduled to have my first fill on April 6th and am nervous but also excited. I have a little bit of restriction right now. I think??? When I eat I definitely get full a lot faster than before the surgery. I eat about 1/4 of what I used to and that seems to satisfy for a while but I still have the hunger at night. I hope when I start getting fills I will find my "sweet spot" and get this ball rolling. Well I will update again later.

So this is Bandster Hell
Mar 16, 2007
Well I am in BANDSTER HELL. I want to eat crap and not exercise and just be miserable. Don't get me wrong I am very happy that I got the Band and that I am starting a new life and journey. Just right now I really want to just stuff myself with fried foods, pasta and chocolate.
Oh well I won't be having these things but that doesn't change the fact that I want them.
I need to set a goals list and follow through with them. I haven't done so yet and maybe that is my problem. I will put one together and once I am done will post it later.

Doing Good!
Feb 27, 2007
Doing good! By my scale at home I am down 15 pounds as of this morning. Not bad for just being banded 18 days. I see other peoples weight loss and sometimes feel that I am losing slowly but not really. I am losing a lot quicker than when I would diet on my own without the band. I can't wait to get to the first 30 pounds off. I will be able to treat myself - I am thinking of getting myself an MP3 player.
I have an appointment with Dr. Wood on Friday. My port area is swollen. It doesn't hurt except occasionally but it is hard and distended. The nurse thought I should see the doctor so that is what I will be doing. Hopefully I am just healing slowly there. We will see.

Back to Work
Feb 19, 2007
Went back to work yesterday but could only stay for half of the day. I am still having pain in the area where my port is. So today I brought my pain medicine with me which has helped but now I am a little tired at work. oh well at least I don't hurt.
My appointment with Dr. Wood went great last Friday, he said that I looked great and everything looks to be healing well. I had lost about 13 pounds so I was pretty happy about that. My MIL brought me to my appointment and we had to bring my 2 year old. She was so good but when the doctor was done examining me the baby wanted to get on the table and would not let us put her coat on until the doctor listened to her heart too. Dr. Wood thought is was the cutest thing and said that she made his day. I love my little girl she is so funny.
Well I am happy tomorrow will be mushie food - no more soup. I am really enjoying this experience so far and I love my band.
