Labor Day Challenge

Jul 05, 2007

Okay, so I started the 10 week Labor Day Challenge with some others from the Lap Band Forum, this is just in addtion to my goal of 40 lbs by my bandiversary.  So on 6/30, I weighed in at 257.5.  According to the challenge, we must weigh in on Mondays, so I'll be posting my results on Mondays.  Although, I havent really been getting much exercise in, I have given up sugar, once again.

Jun 13, 2007

Well, I think I've finally hit my sweet spot.  I just started regular foods today, and I can't even get my oatmeal down, finally restriction!  I had a fill on Tuesday, I think this is the one!  I also discovered that I lost 8 lbs since my last fill in April, I'm okay with that 1 lb a week.  So here is my weight loss challenge: 40 lbs by October 31.  I know it can be done!
Appt:
6/12 260.6- 3 cc

6/30 - 7/31 - 250  
7/30 - 8/31 - 240
8/30 - 9/30 - 230
9/30 - 10/31 - 220

Anything before 6/30 will be a bonus, or extra time to help with my goals.

June 6, 2007 Update on me

Jun 06, 2007

Okay, so it's been a while since I've updated.  Let's see, that fill I got back in December and one in January didnt count, because when I went back in February, my band was empty. So, needless to say I gained 4 lbs from Dec. (270) to Feb. (274) So, I got 2 cc's in February and that is where I will begin.

Feb 8 274- 2 cc
Mar 7 270.3- 2.5 cc
Apr 11 268.5- 2.75 cc
May from size 22 to 20
     
     So yes, weight loss has been really slow, but then again, I am not a perfect bandster, i'm not even a good bandster.  I have some sort of chocolate or sugar everyday since Easter.  But, hopefully, that is about to change.  Because you see, today I havent had one morsel of sugar at all and hope to continue this for the rest of the day.  But boy is it hard to detox from sugar when I think about it constantly.  Oh yeah, I have also began to see a therapist to deal with my head hunger and food addiction.  She has me food journaling.  I'm kind of resistant to it, and it doesn't seem to be doing any good, but I'm ready to make a change.
     I also havent been to the doctor since April, but I do have an appt. on the 12th, and please Lord dont let me have gained.  I don't care about stalls, but please no gains.  But even though the weight loss is slow, I am down to a pant size in most clothing and 2 in a few.  So I'm happy, in that department.
     My goal is to lose 70 lbs by my bandiversary, so I will have to lose 10 lbs a month until 10/31/07, and I think I'm ready.  So here is my goal (I might have to revise it after I've gone to the Dr., God forbid,once again, that I've gained) but:
6/30 - 7/31 - 258
7/30 - 8/31 - 248
8/30 - 9/30 - 238
9/30 - 10/31 - 228
     I will only weigh myself on those dates or when I go to the drs.  I have got to start working my band!  And that means exercising more, and no more sugar or at least in moderation!
     So from this day Forward, I will start working my band.

11/3/06 I'm Banded

Nov 02, 2006

     Well I am home and banded and wondering if I made the biggest mistake of my life.  I feel awful, I can't eat (drink) anything, everything makes me nauseous.  I'm not sore or anything just extremely nauseous.  I know I'm not getting all my fluids in, I just dont know what to do.
     And to speak of my hospital stay, I will never, ever go to Hurly Medical Center in my life again.  A person is suppose to stay in recovery for 1-2 hours, I was there for 10 hours on a stretcher.  I had the worse back pain imaginable.  However, the nurses and staff were really nice.  But I didn't even see my doctor after the surgery.   I saw the doctor that helped the next day.  I just glad to be home.


10/30/06 Surgery tomorrow

Oct 30, 2006

Well, tomorrow is the big day.  I am soooo nervous.  I am full of so many question, like:What if I can't make the lifestyle change? What if I need more time off work(I only took 1 week off)?  What if the weight leaves the wrong places (although I can stand to lose everywhere)?

OMG, the butterflies won't stop.  I really need someone to talk to. Someone who has been through this.  But, I'm ready.  This is the change I have been praying for since I was 14 years old weighing 180 lbs. Lord I wish I was still that small. LOL

Anybody reading this, keep me in your prayers!!

10/26/06 A New Day

Oct 26, 2006

It is a new day and this liquid diet is awful!  I have to admit that I have cheated.  I dont want to cheat but I cant help it.  After all i did pay $195 for the supplements, but they are disgusting.  Somebody out there in OH land please tell me you cheated on the Pre op diet and still have a success story.
