9 mo out

May 09, 2008

Hello if anyone is reading this . Well here i am 9 mo out and I guess I am fine I have lost some weight I do have to workout to loose but I enjoy going to the gym again . I was at a plato for a whiel but I am back in the swing of thing's now . I have had a few apointments lately I had a fill I guess it was about a month ago and my band is tilting . This time I went in for another fill and agin I was told my band is tilting . I guess we will be doing a scope to see why . I don't feel paine . I do vomit a lot . I wonder if that has anything to do with the band tilting . I get a little scared when I talk about it . Well see what happens . I am trying to set up a saport group at work since a few of my coworkers have been banded . That will be nice to have a group of people who know what we each gothrew on a day to day with work and all . 

I did stop spending time on here since my friend that I spoke to quite often stopped talking to me . I am not sure why . I would like to have people to talk with and compare band stuff with . I really do feel better knowing there are people with my same consernd and issues. SO if you would like to chat I will be here . Mickey

7 Months out

Mar 29, 2008

Well I am now 7 months out and i still like my lap band most of the time . I would like an on and off switch sometimes . I guess that is why i never lost weight on my own .

I took my Husband to Las Vegas
to celebrate our aniversary we were married in Las Vegas 2 years ago and I feel so much better this time . I am 50 lbs less then the last time we went and i was more comfortable in the plane , and we walked around this time we still got a car but last time we never walked the strip . But We had a good time . I WON 450.00 Hey I don't spend much on gambeling so that's a lot for me . I spent 20.00 to win. I will have to post new pictures .

Right now I feel like I am not dropping weight fast enough . A lady I work with had her surgery 3 months ao and is down 40 and me I guess since surgery just over 40 . I am down 50 total but that includes the weight I lost before surgery . I am getting smaller I went from a tight 22 to a nice fit 16 today . I would like to be in a 13 by summer .

I need to make an apointment to see my surgen I had a 6 month apointment and the nurse called me to remind me of the apointment . I had had a different date writen down so I got a sitter and switched my time at work to go . Then When I got there I was told Oh your apointment is not tell next week . I was so mad . That I canclled the apointment and now I sit here saying I need to see my doc .

6 months out

Feb 22, 2008

Well here I am @ six months out and I feel pretty good . I have lost a total of 50 lbs 37 since my surgery date . I feel good about that . I hope to loose another 37 if not more in the next six months comeing up . I have trouble with getting in my protein I have a good product that I use I just got sick of it . I like the protein bars rather then the drinks . I did get the flu this last weekend and that sucked . I threw up a few times and man that was just no fun at all . 

Well I am going to LasVegas On March 18th . I went 2 years ago and i was 50 lbs heavier then . So I am sooo exsited to go again . I guess this could be not only my aniversary but also to celebrate loosing 50 lbs .

hell

Nov 06, 2007

I feel like I am in band hell right now . I have been working out and I am looseing weight so I am happy about that . Every time i eat I run around haking up my food . I have sat with a cup to spit in I get tierd of running to the bathroom or trash . It sounds really bad . mostly fluid comeing up . So am I eatting too fast not chewing enough or eating too much ? I don't know . I  don't want to go the doctor I don't want an unfill . I only have 2.9 in my band right now and I was fine for a few days after I had my fill . Sometimes it even hurts to eat . I know I am am not going to starve I do eat and I think mabye I eat too much . So right now I am happy and frusterated . I am down 26 lbs now . the 20th of November will be 2 months for me . I wanted to be under 200 by Christmas . I have 29 to go . I have been doing good at the gym I work out on the elliptical machine everyday . I did not go on Sunday but other then that everyday in a 8 day period . I burned 949 today . Then I went on a 3 mile walk . I need to use the weight more then i do . I like to do 1 or 2 sets but my trainer would like me to do three . I already spend more then an hour at the gym . Sometimes it is hard to get that time in . The childcare center at the gym is very limited to the hours they are open . I will keep doing my best . I know I am looking good . i get a few compliments from people at work at it makes me feel good .

I meet with a trainer and I was told how to properly work out . I was doing 35 min on the olliptical machine then going to each weight machine and doing like 30 to 50 reps on each machine . Well I now know I have to do 8 - 15 reps and three sets . I did this and man my hips and butt have been sore for a few days now . I guess that means i did good . Well I have been changeing my life bit by bit and i still would like to get to 200 by the  first of the year . i have less then 30 to go . I hope I can do it . Well that how things have been going so far .
