Okay, well I'm offically 9.5 months out. Slightly depressing that I've only lost 42 pounds, since I lost 42 pounds back in month 4, but still. I've at least maintatined. It took my new doc 5 months to figure out that something was wrong with my band. (LOVELY) apparently it's not holding fluid, so tomorrow (3/7/08) I'm going in to get it repaired and NOW, I will keep going down.

Looking for another 40 pounds gone by summer. That would be great.

Found three new friends to help support each other so that will help as well.

Dads considering it now which is good. I think he needs it.

Well, I'm back from FL, what a wonderful time. In the past week, I've finished another semester, and went to visit my new doc. What a great guy. He filled me friday during my x-ray. I think it's helped alot. I'm hoping to see 40 pounds by 4 months, which is only 3 pounds away by the 18th. That's my goal. 10 pounds a month. which means by November I'll be down 50 pounds.

Why does it seem like there's a huge difference between 235 and 203 and not between 203 and 150?

Starting Weight 235                                        Currently 203
Goal Weight 150

Okay, I choose to take 3 college class, take care of a 2.5 year old and have lap-band WHY??? Am I nuts. School is offically kicking my butt. Time to get organized NOW or I'm gonna loose control of all of this Quickly.

Or maybe that's the point to life, let go and let God. It will be chaotic for a bit, then it will slow done. I just have to pass everything with a C or better and degrees here I come.

Good: Well, the gas has stopped and the hiccups are fading, It's down to 1-2 a day, which is totally tolerable. Trust me. It has been 1 week offically and I'm down 17 pounds. 

17 pounds in 1 week becuase of a piece of plastic. Do you know how long that would have taken me in normal life. I tried for two months straight to loose 20 and I gained 10 back in 3 days while waiting for my surgery.

I LOVE my band so far. 

My goal is 150 so here I go.

Bad: Oh, so now I have this lovely white stuff on my tounge. I'm pretty sure it might be thrush. I'm 

Ugly: My Doctor is LEAVING. He did us three lap bands, and went through this big deal about how we all need to stay in constant contact, etc, and now he's leaving. No explaniation, no nothing. Um Heloo......

I have a date, and I'm one of the first 3 lap-bands by Dr. P. I'm so exicted. I had to prove to IH that I was overweight for the past 5 years, I was willing to send them photos.

I never realized how excited I am and scared I am to be doing this. It's such a big deal, but yet it's a life changer. I've been dieting and exercising for the past 5 weeks now and have lost 20 pounds, so that's amazing. You tend to think "wow, I could do it on my own, I don't need it" then someone offers me an ice cream, and rather than take a bite and hand it back, I eat the whole thing. 

I want my boys to know a healthy mommy while I'm still young.

We've decided not to tell some people, but tell others. I'm sure not telling my aunt will cuase issues, but you know what...she's not supportive of this, while everyone else is, and when it's done, I'll be happy and healthy and she'll get over it. Last time I mentioned it to her she told me I was going to leave my children motherless....

Sigh*

Anyway, this site is great and it's fun to look at everyone loosing. The Angel program is amazing.
