It's been a while but I'm back
Aug 14, 2008
It's been a long while since I last posted. I guess I was distracted with work, life, a new boyfriend. There was about two months where I gained and lost the same 5lbs over and over. I guess I lost hope or motivation. Then I finally got my crap together and started losing again. I now do cario 6-7 days a week and have lost tons of inches. I'm finally in a size 22 pants/jeans and actually bought a 20 work pant from the Avenue. I could not believe it! I'm not perfect and I don't eat 100% the way I should but this is a process. I can't expect to loose 100lbs instantly. I have my next fill on Monday and have lost 70-72lbs, depending on the day.
Not a great month
Feb 07, 2008
Well the past month wasn't so great for my weight loss. I did not get a fill so I was already feeling defeated. I ate crap I shouldn't have and felt no restriction. I did go to the gym more then I had previously and made great strides working out, so that I'm pleased. I only lost three lbs this months but am at least grateful I didn't gain. I got a fill today and am ready to rock and roll. Only 2.5 lbs till I get to my first 50.
flu, weight loss, and the holidays
Jan 02, 2008
Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I can't believe how quickly this year went by. I am excited to see what 2008 brings. My holiday was good except for the fact I got the flu 2 days before new years. I was vomitting and my throat was so swolen. I had it again on New Years eve but my doctor gave me a shot for nasea and some antibiotics. Weirdly enough I felt ok to hang out with some friend doing low key stuff. Last year I was in bed by 10:30 because I was sick and had a blood clot (didn't know it at the time). So I was a bit dissapointed to be sick again. But all turned out well. My Christmas was good. I told myself not to fret over eating some Christmas goodies and that I'd start my "diet" the day after. That is what I did and lost 7lbs by new years. I have 4 lbs to meet my 50lb mark and I seem to be stuck the last couple days on where I am. I wanted to lose 50 by 1/7 but I'm not going to over do it. It'll come off when the time is right.
I wish everyone a wonderful and safe 2008. May all your hopes and dreams come true! :)
2nd fill

In need of another fill

1st fill today
Nov 01, 2007
I have officially had my first fill and it was a breeze! It took all of a minute or so. He had my lie down and do a half sit-up so he could feel my port. Then he said to lie back down and cross my arms. Within seconds the needle was in and out. It burned a little but but not too bad. Weirdly enough the crossing arms helped?? I then sat up and drank 6oz of water. The only complaint I have is for a couple hours I felt weird in my band area. I felt like I had nausea but not bad enough to throw up. It went away after a few hours. I drank a slim fast shake and want to eat but I know better. Dr. Simpson said that now I may have trouble eating some foods and to be very careful. I lost 9lbs since my 10 day check up. I am a little dissapointed because I am 3lbs away from being under 300lbs. I'll hit it, I know. So since my pre-op diet I have lost 32lbs. He's happy about that, which makes me happy. More updates later..
TOM- it sucks!

I went to my favorite restuarant since having surgery. For those AZ folks, you'll know what I'm refering to. I am the biggest fan of Macayos mexican food. My mouth water just thinking about it. I went and was actually pretty good. I wasn't perfect, I took a couple sips of my cousin's Dr. Pepper, a couple too many chips, BUT I ordered of the kids menu. I have never done this and my goodness I couldn't even finish it. It was amazing. I let my cousin take home the leftovers to prohibit me from eating it later. The only thing that really irritated me what the crap I got from the waitress when ordering. I explained to her I just had WLS and wanted to order off the children's menu. She insisted that she would have to charge me $5-6 more because I am not under $12. I told her that I'd love to speak to a manager. Needless to say she came back and said it was fine. I was so irritated that she was so inconsiderate. I only gave her a 10% after that mess. She's lucky she got one at all. Other then that the food was awesome.
Back on track..

uhh oh I'm eating more then usual

my first wl purchase
Sep 30, 2007
So I've been dying to buy a new bra since starting to lose weight. That's where I see and "feel" the difference mainly. I couldn't wait a few weeks because I felt like i was always pulling down my bra in the back and lifting my boobs in the cup in the front (I know TMI). So I went yesterday and bought my fav bras from Lane Bryant. My usual bras are 46DD and my new ones are 44D. And for once my bra feels like it fits. I bought a couple new shirts that'll last as I lose more weight. The other thing that happened yesterday is I experienced my first vomitting. I wasn't feeling good the whole day, tired, lethargic. I didn't eat much took a nap. I thought I was dehydrated so I drank ALOT of water. Later I started to feel an upset stomach. I threw up in the Subway parking lot. 5 dry heaves then a little liquid. But I felt fine afterwards and ate dinner and didn't vomit again. It was so weird. I feel ok today to. Maybe I drank too much water. I'm having trouble drinking enough because I'm eating often during the day. My DR. says two afterwards and I can't do that because I'm eating again 60mins later. So far that's the only stuggle I'm having. The bad news is I ate a bad of doritos the other day ($.99). It was really good but I know it was bad. I'm not perfect and obviously make bad decisions but I'm not going to let it over come me with bad feelings. That won't help. I have about 8lbs will I hit my first "goal" mark. I'll be under 300lbs. I am excited for that to happen.
