Dec 31, 2008

Merry Be-Lated Christmas and Happy New Year's to all my peeps on OH!! Sorry, it's been such a long time since I've updated you guys on my progress. I am on the site almost everyday but never have enough time just to post anything. Well, here I am for my final post for 2008. Things are starting to move back in the RIGHT direction again. I had gained about 4 pounds between my last post and December 15th. My weight crept back up to 285 right after Thanksgiving. So sadly to say that I did not achieve my Thanksgiving goal of a 6 month post-op  loss of 50 pounds! But I didn't let it get me down. I didn't get a fill during my November appointment so the amount of food I was able to get down was quite a bit. So after moving into my new house and my trip to Dallas, I went in for a fill on December 15th and I had lost a whopping----> .5 pounds !!! Lisa the NP was not happy. I had to lie and tell her that I didn't know what the problem was. But I knew exactly what the problem was.....NO EXERCISE IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS . So she gave a small fill of .25cc which brings my band to 5.5cc which is at the half way point. And boy can I tell the difference. LADIES & GENTLEMEN....I HAVE NOW REACHED MY SWEET SPOT!!! I can eat about 1/4 of a sensibly sized meal and that's it. I don't get hungry again for about 6 hours after that. And most times I have to remind myself to eat something before it gets too late at night. So I told myself that now that my band is doing its job, I need to bring this weight loss thing on home by getting my booty back in the gym. So I went for the first time this past Monday night. And I now have a workout partner. One of my high school classmates works out at the same gym and we have become each other's motivator. We worked out for 2 hours straight and I am still sore!! So since my last fill and my workout I have lost 5.5 pounds bringing me down to 280 (woohoo!!). My next appointment is on the 26th of January and I would like to be ( NO I PLAN ON BEING) AT LEAST 6 MORE POUNDS DOWN which will put me at the 50 lost mark. Pray for me folks! Well, have a blessed and safe New Year's. Keep losing and I will DEFINITELY do the same!!
