It has been over a year since I last posted. I gained 30 lbs back because the lap band hurt all the time so i ate soft food all the time. I had revision to Gastric bypass on May 17th and have lost 50lbs since then. I am very happy!!

Wow, I can't believe it has been over a year since I posted.  I've had my ups and downs. Fills and unfills. Currently 210lbs. Yes, I gained some weight back. Three months ago I got over filled so They had to take one full cc out of my 4cc band. I was so loose, I could eat anything. On top of it all I had a hysterectomy in July and 3 weeks of no exercise. So i sat around and ate!!  Now I got a fill today and going to try to get back on track!!!!

 I am back under 200lbs!!   I am 199.4 and I am so happy. I am going to lose 9.4lbs by Thanksgiving. I can do it!!!! I need to get walking again and it will come off faster.

 Well the months are flying by but I haven't lost any weight. In fact I have gained a couple! I have figured out the way around the band, like eating lots of ketchup or mayo on my meat to get it to go down. So instead of just eating an ounce of chicken breast, it ends up being 3 or 4 ounces going down because of the sauces I'm putting on. Knowing is half the battle right?? So the other half of the battle is getting myself to stop doing it. Today I weighed 202.1lbs and I plan on losing 3lbs by the end of the month so I can be under 200lbs again. The next goal will be to get to 190lbs by Thanksgiving. I am going to try! I have been buying size 18 pants but most of them are pretty baggy so I have some 16's I can fit into now.  yeah!!!!

 I did it!!!!! I made it under 200lbs!  This morning I weighed 199.6lbs.   SOOO Happy!

 BUSY! I am back to work after being a stay at home Mom for the last 5 years. I am not losing like I should but I know that it is my own fault. I am on a darn cereal kick. Well I did weigh today and I am down to 201.4   God I just want to see that darn 1 in front of the other numbers!  I am going to try to stay away from the cereal and do it this week!

I found a shirt and it was a large. I knew that wouldn't fit so I found the XL size and tried it on. Guess what? It fit!!! I wasn't shopping in the Plus Sizes. It has been a long long time since I could shop in the regular girl clothes.  I can't believe it!! i'm so happy!! Just for the record the XL size said it is size 16/18. I will take it.

 I finally lost a couple more pounds. After one year, it is coming off slowly but I need a little fill and I will be good to go!  Lowest weight so far!! 206.5lbs. Yah!

Note to self...
  DO NOT EAT COOKED SPINACH!
  COOKED SPINACH IS BAD FOR MY BAND!

 Wow, where did this last month go??  I finally lost a couple pounds!! 208.2lbs now.  I am getting a little fill Monday the 28th and I hope that gets me really going on the weight loss. Plus, I have started walking again!! hooray!!! 
 I'm still struggling with the self esteem issues. I am going to be looking for a part time job soon and the thought of it just terrifies me!!  I have worked since I was 14 up untill my Son was born 4 years ago. I don't know why I am so worried.  Any wise words??
