February 10th, 2009
Ok, so this Friday I'm going back in to fix my hernia that opened back up.  I'm excited that this time I'm not waiting for the darn thing to get too big.  It's going to be outpatient so I figure it won't be that bad at all.  The bad part is no gym for 6 weeks.  I do try to bend the rules though and I'm sure I'll be doing something light after a couple of weeks just no weights.  The scale is moving but slowly.  I have a goal that I'm trying to reach on February 28th I need to be at 149.8.  Sounds strange but that's what my trainer had put me at and even though she quit it's still something that I committed to and I want to reach.  My final all time goal is to be at 135 pounds by my three year bandiversary which will be coming up in 6 months.  Sounds easy right.... but the scale is just creeping.  I just need to stay committed with exercise and my foods and I'll do fine.  That's only 21.5 pounds and if I lose even a little less than one pound a week I'll reach my goal.  I do have a NSV to brag about.  I went to a thrift store to pick up some supplies for a school project for my son and saw some nice Lucky Brand jeans for sale.  I tried them on and low and behold I fit into a size "8" and almost freaked out in the dressing room.  I haven't been a size 8 since before I started having children nineteen years ago.  No stretchy pants just regular cool looking jeans.  My daughter was jealous because she said those are expensive jeans and I bought three pairs.  Heck, I wish I would of thought of that while I was losing so fast because you can get some killer deals.  I'm half tempted to go back and get some smaller jeans to hang up just for reference.  Sad I'm all out of smaller clothes to try to squeeze into. My closet is actually full of clothes that are too big.  I love saying I have nothing to wear and only because they're too big!!!!


January 22, 2009
I'm tight.... ok I'm really tight and sometimes think I might need an unfill but then again I can eat fine and water is the issue.  I can drink it but slowly.  It's the nighttime that I'm having trouble with.  I have to sleep sitting up because I have this constant throwing up in my throat like acid reflux all night long.  I threw up a few times because of sheer lack of slowing down to eat but that's the first in almost three years.  Maybe I should go on liquids for a few days to rest everything.  I haven't rested it.  Do I go in for an unfill or not????  I'm busy at the gym I go daily and sometimes twice a day.  I've injured my knee in December but it's better and I can run again thank goodness.  I have bad news though.... my hernia is back.  It's smaller but it's still back and I saw the surgeon to fix it ASAP. I think I'll schedule in March.  I thought I would never have to have another surgery again.  Oh well!!!  Everything else is good and I'm losing even if it's slowly I'm losing.  I have a gym goal with my trainer for 148.5 pounds by the end of February so we'll see if I stay on track.  I love the discipline and accountability.  I don't know what I'll do after this 12 week session is up.  If I hit that then I only have 13 pounds until my final goal and I have until August 14, 2009 to get there.  That's my three year bandiversary and I gave myself three years so I'm not doing all that bad if I'll be that close.


December 11, 2008
I had another fill on Monday because I wasn't losing and I could eat way to much of different foods during Thanksgiving and I always felt hungry.  Anyway,  this fill feels like when I first started getting fill that gave me good restriction.  This is a good thing and now that I have my eating in check the scale better move for me.  I started with my personal trainer again this week and I'm extremely sore but it feels good.  I'm pushing myself and that's what I needed to do.  It seems like this last 40 pounds will take me forever but then again I wasn't eating great for the last several months or pushing myself at the gym.  My trainer says my body has adjusted to the workouts and it's time to shake it up weekly.  I'm glad to see the 160's but I'll pee my pants when I finally see the 150's.  I hope and I'll try that I make that goal by the end of the year.  I'm sticking to my diet perfectly and counting all my calories plus measuring my foods.  I'll keep you posted.  I haven't been on the boards much and I think that it's time to get back on more so that I have daily support and can chat with others in the same boat. I CAN DO THIS!  I just need to stay focused.

September 21st, 2008
I had a rough couple of weeks.  I ended up in the hospital for five days due to severe pneumonia and bad anemia.  I think the Doctors weren't sure exactly what I had but my lungs were bad and they said I need to learn to rest instead of go to the gym 7 days a week.  I'm not letting my body recover and that's not good.  After the five days in the hospital and massive antibiotics I was released and two days later I was scheduled for a fill.  I was going to cancel but decided if I can't do the gym for a little while to recover maybe a fill was what I need.  YES! I can feel restriction again and it's nice since it's been a while.  The scale is moving nicely and that's a bonus.  I haven't seen the 160's since before I started having children almost nineteen years ago.  I put on a pair of size 12 jeans today and they fit!!! I haven't been in a twelve in a zillion years.  I feel great and I'm totally motivated to keep the scale moving.  I watch all my calories that enter my mouth and don't go over 1000.  I have my bodybugg which measures my exercising and so it's a nice way to see my deficit.  It all works together!!!

September 04th, 2008

We'll surgery from the hernia has healed great and I feel like a new woman!  I've become completely addicted to the gym and I just got a trainer 2x's a week.  She's kicking my butt and is making sure that I keep my heart rate up high to burn the calories.  She actually had me doing jumping jacks and jump rope last night and it almost brought tears to my eyes thinking of how long it's been since I could do that without jiggling all over and feeling like I was going to explode.  I may not of lost much weight in the last few months but it's those little things that make every single day post lapband worth while.  My clothes have all got smaller and I feel like a teenager again.  My teenage daughters are letting me barrow their clothes and it's fun to actually fit into them.  Life is good.  I did notice however that I wanted to eat and eat and it seemed like I was always hungry.  I tried to push it off and just diet but I now realize that I need a fill.  It's been almost a year since my last fill so I think it's a good time to tweak it.  I get nervous hearing stories of overfills but I'm sure I'm not that full anyway.  I was saving it for the last push to get to goal so nows the time.  I want to be at 135 by New Year 09' and then it's just maintenance.  YIPPEEE!!  I'll keep you posted after my fill in September.  :)


June 2nd, 2008
I never  realized how the hernia made everything not work right.  I feel like a new person.  I can fit into normal clothes and I have a flat stomach.  I feel ten years younger and psyched about working out and using the band to get the last 43 pounds off.  OMG I can't believe I have less then 50 pounds to go before I reach my lowest goal.  My daughters are psyched and they tell me how proud they are of me.  Everyone is being more conscious of the foods they eat and I love it.  My son smiles when he sees my new clothes and tells me I look super young.  The band feels tighter since surgery but not too tight.  I can still eat anything just in smaller amounts.  I never want to get to the point that I get stuck or feel like crap constantly.  This tool is for life not just until I reach goal.  I would however love to put a low profile port in since the old one seems to stick out and bother me more and more.  I'll have to start researching that one. 

May 19th, 2008
Much has changed in the last few weeks.  I finally had my ventral hernia repaired and they did a little panni.  Not much because I had some problems in surgery with major adhesions and they ended up removing some of my small intestine due to it being stuck to my abdominal wall.  The incision couldn't be super low because my skin was to thinned out from the hernia but I think he did a wonderful perfect job with what he had.  I trusted these doctors 200% and I knew I was in excellent hands.  I went to Chandler hospital where they put me in the 4th floor.  Man it was like a penthouse very beautiful.  I asked the nurse why and she joked and called it the penthouse it's newer then the other floors.  My stomach is pretty flat with some swelling but all to be expected.  I can't wait until my post op appointment to find out how much he removed during surgery.  I know it wasn't as much as before but he said I'm going to have a nice flat stomach when the swelling goes down.  I have some pictures of before and afterwards if you want to see them email me.  I haven't mustard up the nerve to put them on here yet maybe later.


April 25th, 2008
Man I've been bad about posting because I've been in a serious plateau for months.  I joined the gym in January and I workout constantly sometimes two classes a night.  However, the scale wasn't moving until I bought a bodybugg on Monday and now I can see where I was going wrong.  I thought if I ate 1000 calories and burned 1000 calories I was fine.  DAAAA! NO, you have to have the deficit so I now burn 3000 calories a day and eat 1000-1300 calories and the scale has moved big time since Monday.  I hope that it continues since I have surgery May 15th to repair my huge incisional hernia.  I can't wait to finally have this fixed and off my gutt.  I look pregnant but down super low and I'm tired of clothes not fitting me right even though I've lost so much weight.  If you are in a plateau get a bodybugg it will show you exactly what you need to do....

February 22nd, 2008
WOW! It's been a while since I've posted anything and maybe that's why I'm not losing weight.  It's amazing how you settle into something and then you forget the goal you are trying to reach.  I'm still in the 190's and although that makes me mad it also is nice to know the scale isn't moving up.  I joined the gym and it's been almost 5 weeks.  I'm glad to say that I've gone every day except three and three three days I missed I made them up with double workouts the next day.  That's short of a miracle for me....  The gym is awesome it has 7-8 different classes and they're designed by Les Mills and they're amazing.  Your muscles never get tired of the same old thing because your working something different each class.  I love the pump class and the yoga.  Who would of thought that I love yoga. hehehehe Anyway,  I've done great so far and I know that I've traded inches and fat for tons of muscle.  My shoulders and back are leaner and more defined.  I would of never thought I would love the gym the way I do.  I'm scheduled for a hernia repair in the next two months and then I'll finally feel "normal".

November 2nd, 2007
Just had to write a little note to myself on how I managed to get through Halloween without sticking one piece of candy in my mouth.  I told myself if the scale didn't move the next morning I would cave in and have one piece but luckily I saw a pound difference so I was psyched and managed to maintain my losing streak.  I can see inches coming off in the last few weeks and the scale is moving slowing but moving.  The gym opens in less then 2 weeks and I'm going to start kicking my butt at the gym to up my BMR.

ONDERLAND!!!  Need I say more!!!!!!!! (((((((((((199.8))))))))))


Friday, October 19th, 2007
Oh ya baby I'm on a new motivated high and I'm going to shed some pounds in the next few months.  I got a fill a few weeks ago and I can tell you I feel like this is my Sweet spot.....  I'm satisfied and I'm eating great.  I'm waiting to drink my water and I'm doing all the right things once again like I was in the beginning.  I decided that I need to up my fiber and I'm reading some great books on that.  I make sure that I have at least 35mg of fiber a day and that forces you to eat healthier foods.  The scale is moving however mine is off from the doctors office.  When I was at my last appointment I was 204 with all my clothes on of course. hehehehe but at home I was probably 211 dressed so now I'm 203.8 this morning on my scale in the A.M. so I know I'm losing.  I think if I went and got weighed at the Dr. office I would be under the 200 pound marker and I would love to see that.  I need it for my motivation but they're so far away.  Support group is next week and we'll see how it goes then.

I've been in a bit of denial this entire summer about losing weight.  I was doing so good and then wala nothing for the last almost 4 months.  I've lost and gained the same ten pounds since June and mostly my fault.  I stopped obeying the band rules and found different foods to cheat on and that's not a good thing.  Lesson learned that if you want to lose the weight you still must diet and follow the rules or the weight will NOT come off.  I think part of my problem is this large hernia that I've been carrying around for five years now and I mean large it looks like I'm 9 months pregnant.  Anyway, I told him yesterday that I want this fixed and he said to lose a little more and we'll get'r'done!  This last fill I can definitely feel it and I've never felt that girgle sound while drinking water is that good???? Who knows we'll see when I can eat solids this afternoon.  I'm going back to the basic rules and I'm sure it will start to come off again.  I'm a better Winter dieter then a summer dieter anyway I have no idea why I just am. 

Thursday, June 7th, 2007
Oh ya, I am so close to Onderland I can almost taste it.  I had another fill today but mind you I think mine are little tweaks and not big fills.  And that everyone has a different size band or stomach size so don't go by my fills.  I almost fell over when I saw I lost more weight because my scale is a couple of pounds off from the office.  I'm on liquids for 24 hours and then regular foods and I think I'll be seeing onederland by the time this weekend is over.  

Friday, May 25th, 2007
I went to support group meeting last night the first in several months.  It was so nice to be in the same room with people that are going through the same thing as myself.  And everytime I go it helps me to refocus on what I should be doing.  I feel so close to Onderland but I'm not going to panic about it.  I need to just stay focused and stop eating when I'm full.  I think I might need a slight fill because I seem to be very hungry in less then 4 hours from the last meal.  And it's not head hunger either.  

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007
I guess it's been a while since I got on the site and didn't do so good the last month.  I've lost most of the weight in the last weeks after a month stall in weightloss but I know it's due to eating more and snacking between meals.  I guess I thought the band would take that all away for me but it doesn't.  I added some flaxoil to my diet and what a difference.  I think my body was lacking that.  I am journaling and logging all my food and not snacking at all and the weight is just dropping off me this last week.  I'm approx. 10 pounds behind schedule but I'm determined to make that up in the next month.  I'm not going over 1000-1200 calories a day and even though I'm not doing exercise I have added doing some weightlifting when I'm on the couch.  Sounds weird but Ibought some medicine balls and I play catch with the kids or life weights with my legs while watching tv.  Little things but at least it's something.

Friday, March 16th, 2007
Another fill and I hope the last for a while.  I'm on liquids for the next 24 hours and starving.  I'm going to try super hard to lose more in the next three months.  I've given into little treats that I know aren't on a "diet" plan but I'm trying to take this approach as this is how I want to eat for the rest of my life.  I changed some things this last month due to severe constipation.  I take 2-4 tsp of flaxmeal everyday mixed in my chili.  I also am taking some stuff for daily colon cleansing and detoxing.  It's tasteless in an am protein drink and I'm feeling much better but still have the same problem as before.  It's frustrating but my doc says many people who get the band suffer from it because they drink less.  I'm drinking alot but still less then before the surgery so I need to up the fluids.  That's my goal.

Tuesday,  February 27th, 2007
Well I was getting frustrated thinking the scale has not been good to me so I got back on this site and found out low and behold the scale is right on what I should be doing.  I lost 10 pounds in the last month and that's exactly where I would like to be.  I adjusted the weight since my scale has always been exactly 2.5 pounds heavier then the doctors office.  And since I don't go in officially for 2 1/2 more weeks this will have to do.  I have good restriction I think for whatever that means.  I'm doing good.  Meats are tough to get down somedays but I'm still able to eat most of it.  I love my chilli and eat it every single day.  I don't know what I would do without my chilli.  I tried a potato the other night because I haven't had one in months and I LOVE them.  Didn't work good I felt like crap afterwards and it made me feel like I had ate too much of the wrong foods.  Oh, how I miss them but that's ok I'm happier losing the weight.  Exercise is on and off but mainly off.  I really need to get that on a schedule and I'm sure the weight will fly off quicker.  I have had a few luxuries like a little chocolate and I mean little.  I keep telling myself it's not a diet it's a way of life.  Don't deprive yourself learn to eat a little tiny bit of it and be satisfied.  I'll take some pictures in a couple of weeks and post them.  I still have the hernia I can't wait til that is fixed.

Friday January 26th, 2007
I am so completely excited for the loss that I had these last couple of weeks.  The scale wasn't moving and I was pretty bummed at the support meeting when I got weighed.  So I listened to Darcy (Bariatric person at the doctors office) about cutting out all breads and carbs and I basically changed my eating habits.  I was eating bites of meat with a carb or veggie but now I eat all the protein first and then I go onto the other stuff if I have room.  I think I'm trying to do something similar to Atkins but just winging it because I don't want to tell myself that I can't have something and then crave it.  I'm learning to eat smaller bites and meals.  I did get another fill and asked him for a little tweek in my engine but not big.  I don't want to have a need for an unfill because I was jumping the gun.

Thursday December 28th, 2006
Ok, so this last month has flown by and I didn't do so well.  I was off to a great start and then I was a little frustrated that I couldn't feel the fill that I had.  I waited hoping for it to kick in and I think I have something more but not much at all.  I have developed one of the cool things that people talk about when they are full.  I noticed that my nose will run when I get full now and or I will get an occasional hiccup.  It's not the band fault that I haven't lost more I spent the last two weeks grazing and not sticking to my set meals.  That totally allows you to eat more often and thus more calories.  Today I set the timer and only ate every 4-5 hours.  I think I need a fill though because I'm starving after just a few hours after eating.  I'll wait a little longer though and try to get my meals scheduled and my head hunger under control.  Also I'm fuller in the evenings and can eat more in the mornings.  Not bread or potatoes in the am or I feel like I will die but other stuff is ok.  I'm fighting my band again these last two weeks and I need to stop.  "I will not fight my band I will utilize the tool I was given."  I can't complain 40 pounds is great and I probably wouldn't of lost it without it.  And if I keep on this pace I should lose 100 by next August my year anniversary.  Lord help me through New Years because my hubby makes tons of food for some reason. Thank goodness I can't gorge like before the band.

Tuesday November 29th, 2006
I had my third fill yesterday at 5:30 pm.  I'm note sure I totally needed another fill but I definitely could eat more and I'm hungry more often so he said it's ok.  I'm so excited that I am finally losing weight.  I lost a total of 16 pounds since my last appointment and almost fell off the scale.  I made it through 4 days at Disneyland with my family and a long Thanksgiving weekend loaded with good food that I had to cook and bake.  I think that's my proudest moment so far.  I normally eat like a horse and this year it didn't bother me.  Disneyland was hard only because I did crave the junk but knew I would feel sick if I tried to eat it.  Thank goodness they sell salads and fruit trays.  I just nibbled on protein from everyone elses plate.  I don't go back to the doctors until March 1st so I hope that I don't lose site of my goals.  I'm hoping to have a good number when I see him next.  Now I would like to do more of the treadmill and weights. 

Sunday November 5th, 2006
My fill was going realy good and then all the sudden I felt like I hadn't had a fill at all for several days.  Yes, I was eating much less but for some reason I feel like I should be stopped and not be able to shove one more bite in my mouth.  Anyway,  the last couple of days I feel that restriction all over again.  Strange right.... anyway, I'm happy to have that feeling back again without going for another fill.  Went out to lunch yesterday and barely ate.  I think my way of eating out should be just nibbling off the rest of my families plates.  When I order me something it seems like I have enough for 4 meals.  Makes me realize just how much I was eating.  The scale went up for a couple of days but now it's dropping yet again.  I'm going to the movies today and a few months ago I would be thinking about all the junk I can bring to much on but now all I'm worried about is bringing my water bottle.  I know my weightloss is going slow but I know if I keep losing these little bits in a year I will see a big change.  I didn't gain this overnight even though I would like to think so so I shouldn't expect it to drop right off.  My goal for the next two weeks is to give up potatoes and bread of all kinds.  They don't agree with me but I still keep trying them.  And eat more fish.

Renee's Lapband Journey (2 months out) 

October 26th, 2006 Well, I'm finally seeing the scale move again it's been several weeks and I've noticed inches but nothing on the scale.  I went in on the 17th of October for my second fill and this time I felt a big difference.  The fill didn't hurt at all that's because I have such an awesome doctor who does it in his office.  Now breads are something I pretty much need to avoid because they just don't go down good and hurt like you couldn't imagine.  I have only had two episodes of I guess they call it sliming????  But that is an instant reminder to me to not eat regular breads .  I can have a few crackers with tuna or other foods but regular bread or pizza dough is definitely a thing of the past.  Eggs bother me to for some reason but I think that's more of a morning thing "being a little tighter" in the am.  I started the treadmill almost a week ago and only managed to do it three times until I got blisters.  That's ok they've healed and I'm planning on jumping on once again.  My daughters friend told me to use mole skin (something you buy in the store) to put over your blisters and it works wonderfully.  Halloween is just around the corner but that holiday has never tempted me.  I seem to be a great dieter around this time of year only to fall of a cliff around New Years when everyone else is hung ho... Not this year I'm going to make sure I am filled enough that even if I want to blow it I won't be able to.  I believe the band keeps me in check.  I spent the first two months figuring it out and learning from it and it's nice to relax a little and enjoy what it's doing for me.

Renee's Lapband Journey

My journey started three years ago with a visit to a seminar. Instantly excited I thought this was going to go smoothly and I would have surgery in a matter of months. Sent out insurance info and instantly found out my insurance had a written exclusion in the policy. I figured that was the end for me and thought nothing else about it until this last July 2006. We just refinanced and had extra money. It was a huge step but I decided to do self-pay. I was terrified that something would go wrong and then where would I get the money to fix things then. But I stood by my decision and met with Dr. Simpson once again in July. Paid my money and was scheduled for surgery two weeks later. Now that's fast. August 14th was my day of surgery and I was scared but almost felt like I was at my last end of the rope and had no other choices but to do this. I had read about the surgery for several years and it was now or never.

Surgery went well and the hospital staff was very nice. However, I felt extremely tight and couldn't barely sip water for several days. That terrified me but the doctor told me that I'm probably just a little swollen and it will get easier. That it did thank goodness. But 5 days out of surgery I developed strep throat and thought I was just feeling bla because of surgery so I didn't go to the doctors. I waited until August 26 over a week later and then the infection was horrible. I had migraine headaches and I felt sicker then I had ever felt before in my life. Questioning what I did was constant but I kept telling myself this isn't the lapband it's the strep and I will overcome this and get better. I'm now on my 6th day of antibiotics and I'm feeling much better. I developed a severe bladder infection even on antibiotics (I guess when it rains it pours) Now I'm on two meds and on the road to full recovery. My band is working great and I feel great restriction which some people say you won't until you get a fill. I stop when I'm feeling the slightest bit full. I learned don't eat bread at all man that will make me hurt like no other. I'm trying to make sure that I keep my protein first and I think I must be doing something right because I've lost 18 pounds in 17 days. Not bad!!!


Helpful hints~FOR ME and things I'm learning along the way!
1. Eat protein first. (fish, meats in sauce work good but 
   chicken dry isn't such a good thing).
2. Stay away from breads. 
3. Remember to drink my water between meals (Not cold)
4. Don't try to eat something too early in the morning it will 
    make me feel like I'm going to PB. Try a warm drink.  
5. I learned that sweets like choc***** and Ice C**** will
    go right through and you can keep eating without feeling
    sick.  Not a good thing if your trying to lose weight.
6. I need to start remembering to take a vitamin. (something
    I keep forgettting).
7.  I lose weight faster if I exercise.  (I'm learning)
8.  DRINK WATER AND MORE, AND MORE, AND MORE....
9.  Watch my calories.
10.  Set the timer to remember not to drink after eating and when you can start drinking again.  I commit to drinking at least 32 oz. before I can stick food in my mouth again.
