It's been a long time

Aug 18, 2009

Well I decided to sign on today just to get a status of my weight loss and boy was I surprised.  I feel so much better if I could only release this stress.  Over the last couple of weeks I have been really stressed and it has definitely affected my eating habits.  I have only been able to eat very small portions & minimal to water.  I'm making an appointment with the Doctor but I know personally its the stress. 

On a good note I'm almost at the 50 pound mark which I don't think is to bad for 14 months and only 1 adjustment.  If I get pass this stress thing I might get another adjustment but I'm comfortable for now.  I was never a small person so one more dress size (size 14 here I come) and I will be happy and content with myself.

It's been a long time....

Jan 12, 2009

Well since I last logged in I hae been to the hospital twice with problems.  A piece of chicken got stuck & the ER staff couldn't do anything I was vomiting for 3hrs, then they called the surgeon to release the band after they stuck me 13times.  The second time I just couldn't eat anything they did all kind of test but the sharp pain would  not go away.  Soooo over the holidaydays since Thanksgiving I have not had a fill the Dr. thinks I needed a break.  Well the break make me gain back 7-8lbs but since I have lost 4 so on my road to success & focused.  I'm on my wii fit everyday & I love it. also started restraining myself with food intake until I can get another fill.

Fill was too tight

Jul 28, 2008

I tried to last but this fill was toooooo tight  I could only keep water/crystal light down and that eveng ave me a stomach ache.  I went back to the Dr. office and they romoved 1.5cc and it immediately felt better.   I thought I had a bad stomach virus it was so tight.  Well I feel a lot better now and was happy to donate my size 22-24 clothing.  I am almost out of my size 20 completley because most of my clothng is size 18 now.  Size 16 WATCH OUT I'M COMIN FOR YOU

2nd fill - 7cc's

Jul 22, 2008

Today was just as fast as the last time in & out 10min.  They added 3CC's this time to bring me to 7.  It feels a little tight & i haven't felt hungry today except when they were celebrating somebody's b'day at work with cake and goodies.  The Dr. was concerned it might be too tight and if I can't keeep the food down I will need to come back.  I hoping this and getting back in the gym will get me back on track to loose those other pounds

2nd fill scheduled for tomorrow 7/22/08

Jul 21, 2008

I'm scheduled for my 2nd fill tomorrow.  I hope it gives me more restriction.   I'm strating to feel guitly becuase I have not had time to excerices like I want to and not eating like I should always.  I did find tht unless the chicken is moist it's getting stuck, I also can't eat any breafast meat without getting an upset stomach.  People say that you won't really change but when you start to fill good about yourself or people tell you they see a diffrenceall you can do is smile

Got My 1st fill

Jul 01, 2008

It was not bad at all.  I was in the room all of 10min and was able to return to work after.  The first day I felt like there was some restriction but since then nothing.  I fell like others like i'm failing bease I have bben able to eat wha I want and get down.  Yes, I might get a lsight stomach ache but nothing that says stop now.  I want to schedule another feel becuase yes, I have not been excercing like I should but I keep going between this 2-3lbs lost and gain.

After hearing about otherslost I feel like i a way behind and start to get depressed and say I can't do this.  I should be at 30-40lbs by now you think?  I have lost 25lbs but more inches that pounds I am in an 18 now and tht's a little big on me. 

My 1st fill

Jun 06, 2008

I am scheduled to go on Tuesday the 10th of June and I am a little nervous.  The Dr explained that they put you under someithing like an x-ray machine so they can see excactly where the port is so no poking around.  I am glad for moder technology.

I will update when I return on Tuesday.  I have been walking 2-3 miles every sat and sun and during the week a mile and 1/2.  I notice I have dropped one pants and dress size but not as many pounds as I would like. No MORE Size 20.  When I first notice that I needed to loose weight I was 278 ppounds and a size 22-24 and I lost that before I even got the band.  I have nothing but determination and baby when I do ......

The 1st Time Overeating

May 20, 2008

Well I found out what it feels like to overeat.  last week was my 10th wedding anniversary we had about a 100 people and lots of food and a candy buffetr and I did pretty good with my intake until the sweets came out.  I found that I can drink wine but bye bye margartis.  I am a slave to  cake and when I ate that cake I felt like anailen was inside my stomach.  I did enjoy it while it lasted but it wasn't worth it afterwards.  This week I'm back to my diet & excercise and hopefully by the eow I will report more loss.  

I did notice that I have lost more inches in pounds and that all my clothing is strting to look like I have somebody else clothes on.

I am so scared and I don't know whybecause I've had surgery in the past.    I guess I'm wondering will it really work, how painful is it and will I be able to tolerate the pain.  I know this is something I need to do so I just have to keep prayin stay focused and I will reach my goals everytime.
