Started at 346 and am now 194!!! WOOHOO!!!!

So, I have been fighting an extremely too tight band for about 3 months.  I have been fighting it, thinking it was going to loosen and I didn't really want to have any taken out because I was losing so well.  I did the wrong thing.  I was regurging at least 3 to 4 times a day...horrible coughing and reflux at night and eating all the wrong things because that was all I could keep down.  It was a sheer miracle that I kept losing.  So, I bit the bullet and went in for an unfill.  Of course, they lovingly chewed me up and down for not coming in sooner.  Now, I only had 2.1 cc in a 4 cc band.  She went ahead and took out 1 cc to give my stomach time to heal.  It was like a freaking miracle! I only have 1.1 ccs in my band right now and that is less than after I had my first fill. What made me happy is that aI ate three pieces of pizza for supper last night.  I took normal bites and chewed normally.  I never choked, slimed, or felt like I was going to gag.  I had no coughing last night and no reflux.  I wasn't hungry this morning and I ate half a sandwich and some chips for lunch and I was full!  Thank you sweet Jesus.  This is what it is supposed to be like!  I have a beautiful supper planned.  Grilled Jamaican Chicken, Greek Salad, and baked potatoes. I guess I am one of those doesn't require a lot of restriction.  So, my advice is to be patient and don't get overfilled.  There is no sense in putting yourself in BANDSTER HELL for no reason.  Take it slow!  Listen to your doc and your body.  Let the weight come off as it will an for CHRISTS SAKE, don't wait to go in if you are having these problems.  It is amazing that I didn't slip my band!

I hope this helps someone in need.

Only 20 pounds to Onederland!  I can't believe it.  What a trip this has been and will continue to be.  School is finally out, but I can't really breathe a sigh of relief.  We have the big move coming up in less than a month and I haven't even started to pack or throw things out.  I finally signed a lease contract on a house in Bentonville yesterday.  I am really happy with it and it is in a new subdivision that has lots of houses and neighborhood kids!  My children have never lived anywhere like that, so they are really excited about it. I will miss living in the country with my cows!  I ask for prayers for patience on my part and the motivation to get moving...literally and also to keep up my exercise routine.  Exercise is really key to keeping my scale moving in the right direction!!  Never thought I would say that:)

I haven't updated in a long time, but that is about to change.  I really need to get back on the message board and see what I have been missing.  School is almost over and thank God for that!  I am doing really well.  I started at 346 and I am down to 231....only 50 more pounds to go!  I have already started looking at having some of this excess skin removed.  I didn't think that was going to bother me, but it kinda does.  That doesn't mean I am not really happy with myself.  I started out wearing a size 30/32 and I am down to an 18!  I haven't worn an 18 since college! 

I weighed in at 259 this morning!  That is 86 pounds in 5 months and 9 days after surgery.  I am proud of myself, but I have a long way to go to hottieville!  I can't beleive that I am only 13 pounds away from losing 100 pounds!  I never thought I would be here!

I now weight 271!  That is an astonishing 75 pounds in 4 1/2 months!

Hi friends!

It has been a wild ride here in weight loss land!  I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Most of you know that I have been having a tough time being too tight in the band.  After the last unfill, I didn't lose any weight for 3 weeks, in fact I gained 2 back.  It wasn't like I was stuffing my face.  I am still not eating at every meal.  I seem to do real well with lunch and that is about it.  Now I am on the losing track again down to 283!  That is what I weighed when I got pregnant with my daughter over 6 years ago!  1 more pound and I will be the lowest I have weighed in 6 1/2 years!  All my clothes are too big....but that is not a bad thing.  I added a new pic!  Check out the difference!  It has all been worth it.

286!  Going back to the doctor tommorrow to have some more fill taken out.

291!  Still eating very little.

294!  New picture coming!
