MissyDFE's road to losing the weight!

Defeated.

:faint:Went to my 3 week post op appointment yesterday. Boy was it pointless. I drove an hour and a half to get there and basically all he did was chew me out about how little weight I dropped. I consider 10 lbs in 3 weeks a good thing but he didn't. He said, "Well it looks like you strayed off the liquid diet..." I said, "yes - i was starving"... Apperantly that wasn't a good enough answer. Then he told me I probably made my band slip... He bascially scared the crap out of me and made me feel so defeated when I left. So, here I am so scared even to eat 1/4 cup of cottage cheese in fear of screwing up my band! HELP!

Bingo!

I think I may have figured out what my problem has been! I have been eating at 850-900 calories a day, working out on the elliptical trainer for at least 20 - 30 minutes a day.... yaaadddaaa... well I was stuck at 190 lbs - right? Well, I started looking at my nutritional information on www.thedailyplate.com and my sodium consumption was through the roof! I mean am not supposed to go over like 2200mg and I was like at oh 4000 something! Ya, it seems I am eating all the wrong foods: ham, pickles, lunch meat, cheese, saleted nuts, olives all things with seriously high in sodium. In addtion to that I was not meeting my water requirement or taking in nearly enough fiber! HELLO! I was sabtoging myself! So I am taking it easy on the sodium, yesterday it was only 700mg and getting in all my water and fiber so we will have to see where next weeks weigh in takes me! Toodles P.S. I might as well as had a salt lick! Geez I am special!

Wednesday...

I haven't been writing much, shame on me. I have been having a horrible eating week... My mini-weiner dog was hit by a car yesterday and died. So I felt it was a good idea to cheat... I had 6 ritz crackers with pepper jelly and a tall glass of white wine. Depressed. I need to get my butt moving and burn some calories! I am not sure what my weight is because I have not been weighing myself... it is frustrating to watch the scale bounce up and down between a pound. I am sure I am somewhere around 180 lbs... Until next time....

I was right!

So my fear about having too much sodium, not enough fiber and lack of water was right! It was holding all this weight on me. After lowering my sodium consumption to about <1000mgs a day, getting about 25g fiber in and about 10 glasses of water... the weight finally came off! I weighed in at 186.5 this morning! Yaaaa.... I was stuck for about a week wondering what I was doing wrong! So take my advice, watch your SODIUM it is the devil!:eek:

Ok here I go!

Hi everyone. It is me MissyDFE, I am a 25 yr old California. I weigh 206 lbs and I want to lose 80 lbs. I am getting banded on December 13th at 12:00pm in Monterey, California. I am so excited. I have started the protein shakes for breakfasr and dinner and limiting lunch to just be a sandwich of some sort. It has eased me along before going cold turket on the Pre-Op diet.

Hunting

Last night my mom and I went hunting for an elliptical machine. I am tired of going to the gym and waiting for one - people use those things like crazy at my gym... Anyway so we went to Sear's - found quite a few but they were HUGE... I want to be able to put it in my room, so I can watch my favorite shows and exsercise. The we went to Big 5, they didn't have any! So I think we might check out Sports Authority next... If not I guess I will have to get a big beast at Sears... :mad: Any way so after the hunt for the perfect elliptical machine my mom and I decided we were hungry... so we went to Olive Garden. I was pretty good... I had a bit of salad, NO BREAD, and ordered the Apricot Chicken with broccolli and asparagus. I figured that was not TOO bad... anyway I fell asleep really early last night 8:30 - I have no idea what is wrong with me... I think it may be that I have not been excersing much latelly so my lack of energy is out the window!!! I will update as the day goes on! I just found out I love my blogging/journaling whatever you want to call it! 14 days until my surgery!!!:bored

Lunch...

So as I was a good little girl this morning... drinking my chalky protein shake. But then... my dad asked me to lunch (He and I work for the same compnay - my family owns and operates a petroleum company)... so I go to lunch and look at what I had... I know it looks bad, but it was good... I think I will just take it easy too night and just have another protein shake. I need to quit going to lunch with my dad! :violin: Excuses Excuses... I know. I will stop it. And just take control of my own life!

Last night...

So as my work day was coming to close my friend called me and asked if I wanted to come over for a glass of wine.... BAD IDEA. I should have known one glass of wine would turn into two and then ... into three... You know the routine. Well I ended up having 2 glasses of wine, turkey spaghetti, and 2 chocolate chip cookies :tired I was pissed at myself for doing that... TOTALLY. Why do I sabatoge myself? Why do I do this?!!!? What I am wondering is how do I draw the line from being a fanatic about my weight with out turning away my friends...??? I don't want to seem like home body or a downer - but I just want to stay on track so I will have to turn down my friends invitations.... Anyway I woke up this morning and decided it was a good day to wash my sheets and pillow cases... So I spruced up my room a bit, dusted and straightened up a few things. I made some tuna salad and had a few whole wheat crackers with it. I had my multi vitamins and am just waiting for my sheets in the dryer to make my bed. I have a psychologist appointment today to give me an evaluation to ok me for the lapband surgery, I BETTER NOT ACT CRAZY!!! lol. Just kidding... I will update you guys later.

It is Saturday night and I am chillin' at home...

Hi it is Saturday night and I am at home on the computer! What the heck? Lol. I need a life. Anywho today was a pretty good day - I had a nice lunch with a friend and only ate half of it, which is better than what I would usually do... Then I went to my shrink to get the psych evauation. PASSED! I am not crazy! Lol... I then went to Circuit City to buy a lap top for my grandpa... we got him a Toshiba - pretty cool. I had dinner a shish kabob of fish, shrimp, onions and a baby tomato. Pretty tasty! I am off to bed... night!

Sunday is Funday!

This morning I woke up and tried one of my new protein shakes... It is called Spiru-Tein... it was cookies and cream flavor - YUMMO! It is 99 caolries, 0 g of fat and 14 g of protein. I have a bunch of other flavored samples to try. The countdown is 11 days until my surgery... I am pumped! Today I went to the Satelite Horse Races with my nanny. She gave me $100 to play with and I finished the day with $108 ... So it was net $8. Not bad. I think with the $108 I will buy my mom a nice b-day present - like a facial/massage at a local spa. Well, tommorow is a new day of a new week... talk to you all tommorrow! Toodles!

10 days to go!

Only 10 more days until my lap band surgery! I am getting so pumped. I woke up this morning a bit grouchy. I had trouble falling asleep last night. So I didn't get the best rest I possibly could. My breakfast this morning was a protein shake called "Muscle Milk Light" chocolate flavored. It has 20 g of protein, 160 calories, 5 g of fat and was very filling. I liked it alot! I just had lunch at our local sushi restraunt and was a pretty good girl. I had cucumber somuno and albacore tuna sashimi. Very tasty. I have been pretty good at weening my self off of soda. Man I loved that stuff! I am pretty much an ice tea kind of girl now. I will have soup or a protein shake for dinner probably. Monday at work sucks. Especially when it is billing day. Wish me luck - this week better fly right by.... because I am getting anxious!   :cheer2:

9 more days!

Do you like my little count down? Hmm... getting really antsy! Well, yesterday wasn't too bad of a day - oh wait yes it was... I for some reason decided it was a great idea to go to Johnny Carino's (Italian food) so I had a bit of potato soup, bread, and half a bowl of Chicken/Shrimp spicy pasta! I am a bad girl. What the hell am I thinking eating carbs? I know that crap is bad is bad for me... for anyone for that matter! Ah well, I will learn soon enough I hope.   On a brighter note, I did buy an elliptical trainer last night from Sports AUthority ... $499 later I came home with this:     A Proform SpaceSaver! I can't wait to get it all set up and get my butt moving. I have my physical today for my clearance for surgery... I will keep you all posted on how it goes!

Hello!

I know it is has been far too long since my last post... I am doing very well. I am feeling great about myself and been choosing activities that burn more calories! I play on a co-ed basketball on the weekend, I go skiing at our local ski resort, I use the elliptical on the weekends... I just am being a more active person. My fill is at 5.5 cc's in my 10 cc band so I am eating well. I can have about 2 eggs and reamin full for about 4 hours... great feeling! Most importantly, drum roll, I have a date this Saturday! We are going hiking... I will keep you all posted!

6 days to go!

Friday is fun day and I just got my hair done check it out... Do you like it better blonde or brown? It is winter time, time to give my blonde hair a rest - come summer time when I am slim and sexy I will bust out the blonde hair again! Well today started off wonderful as I sipped my Muscle Milk Light drink... thenI got an attack of the munchies and chowed a half of a jalapeno bagel. Lunch was ok. Had a slice of meatloaf for lunch so that wasn't too too bad. Tonight after work I am going shopping with my good friend Annie. I do not need to - since I had all my X-mas shopping done in October! I was very organized about that this year. Every paycheck starting in summer time I bought one present for a loved one... They are pretty much all wrapped too! Anywho I will update you as the weekend goes on! Tata!

5 days to go!

HOLLA! Today was a very nice day. I slept in... which was lovely... Took a shower, paid some bills online (yuck) then went to town to pick up a friend of mine to go shopping. We went to Tractor Supply's grand opening and bought "Nuzzle" a wonderful smelling perfume - the best part about purchasing the perfume is they donate a portion of the sale to Habitat for Horses - an organization that assists abused and neglected horses... love the smell of perfume! Buy some. The rest of the day was spent following my friend around as she finished her X-mas shopping (I am done!) so it was at least good exercise. I finished off my evening by stopping by a friends house for spaghetti and salad. Not the best "diet" dish but not the worst either. Have a terrific evening... this little girl is hitting the hay!

I woke up and was very excited because I am one day closer to my surgery. I am so anxious. I know all my journals are beginning to sound repeatitive but, I just am pumped! I don't really know what I am going to do today... maybe just relax at home, not sure... It is kind of boring. I will write you later.
