About this blog

Almost time!!!

Entries in this blog

 

Ok I passed... kinda : (

the three days liquid, well kind of I cheated twice. So now I really can feel alot of restriction. Especially in the morning I beleive it took me at least 30-40 minutes this morning just to eat my breakfast. Which was eggs and crumbled up one sausage and some of a biscuit (mashed up). Like yesterday I ate, and chicken sandwich in the morning that took me for ever to eat, then I ate some pineapples (or drank the juice) since i could not eat the pineapple. Then around 5-6pm I am a little bit of a lean cusine meal, but did not eat all of it. Since i could not swallow my last bite i spit it out. I only dranked tea yesterday. Oh and then my brother bought me a salad at mcdonalds that i told him not to buy but he did i only ate about three to four bites. I am glad i am on restriction so i can loose some of this weight. well ok class about to start. oh yea i had a choc. milk this morning. I need to go on a only water right away. ok bye :clap2:

I gotta get back on track

Well ok today was my 1st fill and my doc was kinda dissappointed in me:confused: cause instead of loosing i gained alot (his words) I felt bad. He ask me what type of foods have i been eating i told him, no snacks and no bread but i said i don't stop when i feel satisfied and thats bad i drink while eating and thats a big nono its like i know this but at times it get hard. But today i go 1.4cc so we can see how that goes. I really gotta get back on my game today. Well let me go now i am going to clean my room, fold my clothes and then sit down and put a exercise scheldule out i am going to start walking because i don't want to not suceed at this band plus that would be alot of money wasted but ok let me go now hopefully this fill will do me some good and help me out with some restriction but ok gotta go.

FRUSTRATED

ok well i am getting frustrated with this, i don't see any change on the scale, i have sort of been eating right may be thats the problem. But everyone says they see a difference like in my face and stuff like that well i did have a soda and i no that was a big nono, so i gotta get back on track. So this weekend i am going to go and by some of those little dinners from the grocery store. So instead of going to eat fast food for lunch at work i can eat on of those and i need some water bottles. the hardest part for me is going to school cause it is an culinary school as well. but hoepfully it will all work out ok.   so bye for now

oh well... but i have some pics

Ok well i have not seen no difference on the scale it still just sits between 209 and 211. But lots of folks told me that they see a diffence my body taking a little shape. slimmin down in the face. So i am excited about that, but i guess the scale just makin me upset a little, and then i am kinda upset because my fill was suppose to take place this month and now i have to wait until 5 more weeks man that sucks on may 18th @2pm so oh well i will just have to try and eat right with no restriction. well theres has been alot of drama at my house but to much to sit here and type out.   But my and my best friend domonique went to the mall to take before pictures but we just wanted a small package they did not have so we walked around the mall then went back to my house took pictures outside here is a few we took. then after i loose my weight i will take some more and upload them ok gotta get back to work.

update

Well this morning got up got dressed went to weigh myself didn't go anywhere. Lastnight for Ieshas birthday we went to Willies and my step mom allowed me to eat crawfish which i not suppose to but they went down really smoothly. Before the band crawfish would never fill me up, but last night i felt so full, i had to walk around before going inside the house. But i drank one glass of sweet ice tea, i know i just thought it should have been unsweetened tea. YIKES!!!, well i really want to try and loose seven more pounds and make it to 200 pds lost by next Wednesday, which will mark me for being banded for two whole weeks. So tonight we are going to a hotel for my step sisters little slumber party with her friends and sharon and i are going. Tiara might go after work not sure yet, we'll see. Well i tried to drink an ensure this moring but could not drink it i don't really like the taste i know i need my proteins, i haven't had any proteins. oooh thats bad but i am not sure what to do. i am going to have to try some type of protein pills or somthing. I do have vitamins but i have only taken one. since sharon bought them and that was sometime last week. Well i am going to go take a nap, oh yeah and for lunch i just made some ramen noodles. that was good and filing. ok bye for now

Post Op

Yesterday, I went to the doctors for my appointment, and I went on the scale, and it read 113.5, I was so excited. I thought before I was 235 but I asked the nurse and she said I was only 223. So I was happy about that too. Yea for me 10 pds in one week YIPPEEE!!! So now I can move on to non-clear liquids, like apple sauce, pudding (low fat), and thicker soups. I just can't wait till week three. I have been cheating BIG time at school. On monday I actually ate some scramble eggs, and later that day i ate some broclli and cheese soup from Jasons Deli, ( that was not that bad) but tuesday I did the samething eggs again. Wednesday i was a good girl. Ate my applesauce, lunch i had some tomato soup, and later that day i had some frito pie but only two small bits. Today I ate some applesauce for breakfast and lunch i ate chick nuggets only 3, and right now i am eating some pudding. I need to stop cheating so much, because if i can loose another 10 pds for this week that would be so awesome so i am pround of myself for loosing the first 10pds but also upset with myself cause now i am acting as if i can't control myself when i know i can so i just need to ask god for guidence through this, and help me with restriction. but ok that was the update for today. Oh yeah this morning i did loose another 3pds but i probably gained them back already well see when i get home tonight. its my step sisters birthday today, we are buying her a cake. but i know i can't have any i probably have me some soup.

Update

Ok, well I have been up movin around alot. Yesterday, my friend, her sister, and my step sister all went to the mall. I had lots of fun, but the hard part was when I became very hungry, my stomach started hurting, I was trying to wait till the others were hungry, so then i told them I had to eat something. So we went to the food court, there was not really nothing that I could eat. So my sister and I went to the Cajun food place, she ordered one small plate where we could share, we got some burbeon chicken, and some noodles and potatoes. I ate the chicken(small pieces), and ate some potatoes since that was something soft. I became full quickly, but I keep catching myself, still eating when I know I am satisfied.   Then today at school, I went ahead and ate some scramble eggs, and some bacon. I bought some apple sauce for lunch time to eat. This week has been hard these are the todays I really have ate food like this, I did very good i think last week all soups. I guess yesterday i need something i could chew, but i did chew until it was small enough to swallow down my throat.   Well all is well here, except my grandfather did pass away yesterday morning around 4am. That was really sad, eventhought I was entirely close to him, he was on my mothers side of the family. I will miss him though, I really am worried now about my Grandma, I love her so much. She has lost a daughter (my mom) and now her Husband. Its alot for her to handle. But I know she is a strong woman, and I know she will hang in there. I really want to try and visit her sometime this year. If not anyother time atleast Christmas or some part of the summer coming up.     But I am very excited about loosing my weight, we have a scale, its my stepmoms but i know hers is wrong because wehen I went for my pre-op i was 235 thinking i was 220. So on hers i used to be 220ish (some where around that) Now I am at 210 so I see I have lost something, but today she is going to bring a scale from work. I am glad she works at a health place. Oh I can't wait for my trip to see my boyfriend in Jamaica, he is going to be like Whoa!! Hot Mamaz!!! (hahaha) :clap2:. I already found a bathing suit that I really really really want it is so cute, I found it in the Junior department in Foleys at Willowbrook yesterday. But it cost $76, I want it so bad. Its like a one piece but all the back is out, and it ties up on the neck and the colors are so different. I am going to try and get it, i was thinking about buying it soon. And hanging it up on my wall for something to look forward too. I might do that on my next check if i have it. So my goal is to really loose so major weight by June 23, because thats when we are leaving for JAM ROCK MON!!!!!!:girl_hug: and my birthday is June 26 i will be 21. I know i always said i would never get a belly ring but that was because i thought i was to fat and that i would never show my belly but when i loose my weight i can a little. But loosing my weight is for a new beginning in my life. My step mom thinks it my go to my head, and become a little wild, but I really don't think i will be like that because thats just not me. I never really went out because i always felt tired no energy. But i am not going to lie I am going out to the beach parties when i go to JAMROCK MON!!!!! Just have a little fun!!! But ok . lAtErZ!!!!

Im Finally Banded

I finally got banded yesterday, got up around 4:30am, left around 5am, with my dad. Arrived at the hospital, wnet striaght to my room, had to change in the hospital gown. The worst part of the whole thing for me was getting an IV, since I never had an IV, it was kinda hard for me, but this lady named Crissy tried to help me by distracting me and talking about her lapband she had lost 100 pds with in a year and she looks great. But soon after the IV was not as bad as I was making it. So then going on to the room where they get me ready to go in to surgery, I was number 2 on Dr. Speigel lists, so i was happy to get in and get out of there. It was cold in this room so they gave me another blanket, then the anesthia lady gave me some drugs then they rolled me in the surgery room, i had to move over to the other bed and all of a sudden i don't remeber anything else. I woke up in the recovery room, they called my name and i woke up, then they asked me from 1-10, 10 being the worst how was the pain i said about a 3-4, the guy gave me some pain medicine. Then i was rolled in to another room, then my dad came and got me, i had wonderful doctors, they said i recovered rather quickly, i had to walk around a couple times, it really hurted getting up the first time but my nurse james helped me, i also had to take a breathing machine home, i till have not made it to the mark but i will get there.     Right now i am in mild pain, yesterday evening i got out with my step mom and sister at the store and bought so soups that were clear liquids so i can sip on them today, i have so much to tell but i am tired so i will return a little later.

One more day!!!! (really only and some hours

Well, today I started on my liquids ( the day before surgery)...but i cheated this mornimg, i see i am going to have a hard time. I just ate a little something for breakfast, but i went to the store this morning and bought some liquids like lemonade, and jello and some popcicles. :faint: :help: :think YUM, i wonder if i can make it, well i can i have been praying for God to help me through this, with my hunger, because i know i am going to be hungry. I still can not believe this day has came so fast. My family is supportive in a way, its mostly my step mom who is very supportive. My dad at first was kinda rude i think, he doesn't think i should have surgery i just need to exercise, but i am goint ot admit it i am lazy, but i think different things are made for different people so it just matters what you think is good for yourself. i was kinda sad at first the way my dad was treating me on this subject, but i had to think about it and i am not doing this to make him happy i am doing this for me not him, and as long as i approve of it it really should not matter what anyone else has to say about. I am hungry right now i am having some jello but since i hardly eat jello its hard for me to eat it i guess i really never thought about how hard this would be, well i did think about it, but now i really feel what i am about to go through since i am actually experiencing it. my step mom said it can all be a mind thing so i am going to really pray alot and act as if i were fasting that might help in a way not sure. Well i guess i will go around and see what others have to say this morning.   have a great day :) 1 MORE DAY and some hours

coming up

Ok I read alot of entries today, and I am getting more excited. I have joined a club, and found a group that is around my age. Well I have written three times today and I am really happy someone had referred me to this site. It was this lady in the waiting room, she was telling me something about her lap band and said she went to this site for advice or suggestions. I thank her, I didn't catch her name but if you remember me by the picture, just wanted to say hi and thank you so so much. I am actually going to refer this to this lady who sits next to me. I think its so weird, but this lady she sits next to me in my math class and she just got her band about 4 weeks ago, and she shares with me about the lap band, she actually going to give my a list to shop for. She says i have advantage to know someone who already went through it cause she did not have anyone to talk to. Ok I guess that is it for now...man i know i am excited i have been on this site all day and have written in my journal three times ...OK SIX MORE DAYS!!!!:clap2::mad:

Very Excited

Ok well next week I will be getting my lap band on, I have not really met anyone that is my age, I would like to ask some questions to a younger person. Everyone that I have asked has been older like in 30 and higher. They all tell me about there gas and how much pain there in, and I know it varies from each person hopefully I will have some luck. Well I have to be there at 5:30 in the morning I think my dad is going to take me and then Sharon is going to pick me up but I need to make sure I let the nurses or doctor know to call her cause I will probably be out of it for a little bit. I am getting butterflies just for writing it right now. I think I am going to be alot happier, I can finally just choose what ever I want to wear. I am really going to have to get use to not eating alot of food, I kinda figured it out. The lap band is just helping you, because anyone could do this diet, just follow the diet book that they give you. Well ok I have written twice already so I will be back to write tomorrow. only SIX MORE DAYS YEAH!!!!!!:wow2::mad::mad:

Almost Time!!

Ok, well yesterday March 22, 2006 at 9am I went to the doctors office to fill out some paper work. Then they sent me to Twelve Oaks hospital for my Pre-Op. I was very nervous and very excited all at the same time. First I was really nervous about giving blood, but that was not even what I was thinking it was going to be. It felt just like a little pinch, and then the nurse told me to raise my shirt up and she put all these wires on my stomach which tickeled a little bit. Then she did something to rate my heart I guess to see if everything was ok inside of me. Then I went to another nurse, and she asked me alot of questions, and had to fill out some more paper work. Then another lady took over, and then walked me to the elevator where I then had to go to the 3rd floor, to get my x-rays, then from there a guy told me to take my necklace and bra off. Then he came back told me to stand in front of this wall, so he could look at my spine and stuff. Then I got dressed, and he took me to the second floor where I had to wait the longest, I was sleepy:notagree, my arm was hurting:help:, and hungry at the sametime, then finally after an hour it seemed like, a lady calls mrs douglas then i was happy she was a very nice person she asked me if i ever had a surgery and then she said i must be young and i said yep 20. She said well ok be here at 5:30 with your pink pass and you'll be already to go and she said you can go now. In my head i was like i had to wait just for her to say that man so i left and headed back to work.:mad:
