Body Bugg

So today is the first day I am wearing my Body Bugg on my arm... I had no idea I burn a calorie a minute in my sleep... My motto used to be (pre-band) was: "If I am sleeping I am not eating" so that is why I slept so much! Ha... That is a pretty lame excuse for being so lazy don't you think? It was kind of confusing to set up on my work computer, I also want to set it up on my computer at home so I could plug it in right before I went to bed... Just to see...

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:

2 days - can you believe it?

Raise your hand if you are excited about me having my surgery in 2 days....:clap2: Yaaaa... I am so excited. I have cleaned up my room so I am comfortable after surgery. I still have a pile of clothes to fold but no big worries I will get to that tonight. I gave my mom a list of things to pick up for me: heating pad, baby spoon, baby bowl, gas x strips... you know the basics! Today I had a scambled egg for breakfast and a tuna sandwich for lunch - bye bye bread... not going to be tasting you anymore! Oh well. I am trying my best to get as much done at work as possible so I will not make it difficult for the person at work who is filling in for me while I am gone. My surgery is on Friday and I assume I will be able to come back to work on Monday. I hope everything goes well because I didn't tell anyone at work what I was having done. Well, I take that back, I told the receptionist I was having my gallbladder removed because she over heard me on the phone talking to the surgery center. Oh well - it was a white lie and really none of her business anyway. I will update you more later... bye.

5 days post op

Boy do I feel better! I almost feel like I never even had surgery - well not really... But I do feel great 5 days post op! I am even getting used to just eating liquids too... well that was after I stuipdly tried to eat tuna fish yesterday morning - but was halted by my stomach saying, "No, no, no" (sing in Amy Winehouse's voice and it sounds funnier... "They tried to make me go to rehab.... I was like No, no, no.... ANYWAY. Ya I soon realized I am on liquids for a reason! To let my stomach HEAL! Duh - how could I have been so dumb to try and push it?   Onto more merrier things.... I am down 13 pounds! Yes! And I am in wonderland! All is good in my world this morning!

Merry Christmas!

Hey thanks JSOTO! I needed to hear your words of kindess! :cursing: Thanks. I was not going to post them but then I thought, oh why the hell not... you know? We are all friends here!!! I do not really care - I just don't want anyone to be grossed out. I warned you all! Hahhaaa... Oh well that is me, like it or or not! :cursing::cursing: On to other news.... I had my first PB! I guess sometimes my brain gets stuck on stupid because I do the most retarded things... So my mom served salad, clam chowder, and cracked crab last night for Christmas Eve dinner - right? Well I decide it is ok for me to dip a roll in my clam chowder and eat it - WRONG! It felt like I was going to burp, but then it felt like I was going to throw up, so my cousin who was sitting next to me was like, "Are you ok?"... I just shook my head and ran to the bathroom. Three heaves and I threw up the roll in the toliet. Great. All I was thinking was, "I hope my band does not slip"... Stuipd, stuipd, stuipd. That scared me so I didn't eat anything else all night. :speechles   Oh I am at 193 - so ya! Merry Merry Christmas all!

196 lbs... Ya.

So if you have been following my journal you will be able to see I am down a pound every day since surgery. If I keep it up at that rate in 3 months I will be looking fab in some size 6 jeans! Yahoo... Anyway... My stomach really hurts right now... I had some pistachio jello and some mashed potatoes at our company X-mas party... I may have eaten to much or just eaten too solid of foods. I really tried to be good. But I am in pain.... I feel like going home early putting on the PJ's and calling it a night.... :faint:

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.

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!

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!

4 more days...

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.

Not sure...

I am not sure if I have lost any weight here lately... I just haven't gotten on the scale. I have not been binging or anything I just have been stuck at 192. So, I am going to let the BodyBugg do its magic for a week and see what happens. I have been eating at right around 900 calories and have been working out for at least 30 minutes a day on my elliptical trainer. I still have trouble with my BM's so it looks like I am going to incorporate some prunes into my diet - like it or not. I purchased some Smooth Move tea and it seems to help but not what I would like. I have my 3 week consultation on January 7th so I will see what my doctor has to say. Until then...

3 day Post Op

Feeling much better! I took a shower, blow dryed my hair, put in hot rollers and slapped on some makeup... I just wanted to feel human again! It is amazing what a little fixing yourself up can do to a girl's self esteem. I was starting to scare my self everytime I walked past a mirror! I am still kind of tender and have weened my self off the pain medication... it was making me too drowsy and light headed and I need to get back to work tommorow so I will just take Alieve from now on.... So on to what I have been eating.... NOT MUCH! Not because I don't feel hungry but because my doctor told me to stick to liquids for 3 weeks.... liquids do not make me feel full. At all. So I am living off of tomato soup, protein drinks, water and ya... thats about it. It sucks but I have been seeing results... As for now I am just sitting up and trying to pass the time until I fall asleep tonight and go to work tommorow...

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!
