Whew, Finally!

Feb 02, 2011

I have finally gotten off of the 43 lb weight loss.  I was stuck there ofr ove 2 weeks!  I am now down 45 lbs.  It feels great.  I am learning to take each day at a tiem.  Looking too far into the future has always been a problem for me.  I have to learn to be patient and keep focused day to day.  I find that I take each day by itself and thank God for what I have, I can get to the gym and eat better.  It keeps my frustration level at a minimum.  Yea!

Help! I'm stuck at 43!!

Jan 25, 2011

I weighed in this mornong at my usual time- first thing before my shower.  I have been at a 43 lb. weight loss for over a week!!  I have been working out like I should and eating like I should.  I am so frustrated and a little scared.  I have been losing 2 to 3 lbs a week since surgery.  I have had only one band adjustment.  It was at 2 month post op just 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Any suggestions for a jump start?

2 WEEKS POST-OP!

Nov 21, 2010

The last 2 weeks have been pretty rough.  I am getiing better every day.  I am down a total of 17 lbs. since my sergery.  I have had no serious complications, only the side stuff like constipation , a little nausea, and some obnoxious pain.  Starting on pureed food has been great.  I made refried beans with some beef broth and cheese- it was great to taste soemthing besides protein drinks.  The hardest thing for me has been drinking enough fluids between meanls and not drinkin 30 either side of a meal.
Feel good.  Looking forward to some mashed potatoes for Thanksgiing and actually not stuffing myself like a turkey!!

My surgery is Monday!

Nov 05, 2010

I am so excited and so anxious!  My lap band surgery is scheduled for this Monday Nov 8.  My friends and family have been very supportive.  A co-worker brought me a jug of liquid tylenol, crystal light pacs and a pill crusher this morning.  I am looking forward to this journey- it has been one up to now just getting ready for surgery!  I want to watch my weight ticker go down, down, down!!

Just starting.

Sep 24, 2010

I am just starting this journey.  I have had all pre-op tests and visits except my endoscopy.  That is scheduled for 10/12.  I hope surgery will be scheduled close after.  The hardest thing I have encountered is not drinking with meals!  I never realized just how much I swg down my food.  I am actually tasting my food more m=now.  I am very excited and a little nervous.  I am really encouraged by all the posts nad pictures.  You guys are incredible.
