Cold cold go away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Dr. gave what is called the pack treatment for five days of antibiotics. I am really hoping this will knock this cold out. I am too excited to sit in the house so I went out got all that I need for my date hoping that my being prepared will some how assure my surgery date. I was really worried about my being able to find a source of protien that I like I really am not a shake person and 60 to 80 grams of protien are alot I went into GNC and i found a product called Pro Slam 45 yes it is good 45 grams of protien and only 3.1 ounces I cant believe how lucky I was I got the last box. I thought I would spend alot more time and money trying to find protien I could tolorate. Well I am going to continue to medicate rest and pray because I want so bad to make my date Jan.28,

A light turned on.

Well my personal training doesnt start untill this Tues. so after I woke up from my drug induced sleep. I felt better and went shopping and being that I was so inspired by alot of the LB people I bought the wii fit system. Did I get a good laugh and a couple of tears the dam system informed me that I was obese I thought it was hard to hear that word from a medical professional but for a dam system that I spend almost $400 hell no, not to mention it placed me in the 50 year old age group aint that a bi###. I did not know weather to find this info. amuzing or break down cry and pack that crap up and return it. I called my mom and she laughed oh did I make her night when I expressed how upset I was she told me to shut up and get to work and make the change anf though deep down I know she was right I wanted her to feel me but that was enough for me to end my pity party by then my mouth was hurting again. I will work this wii program and I will show it. I could have saved on that personal trainer because this workout is all I need. I tried eatting a english muffin with I cant believe its not butter and boy that muffin kicked my butt (wont try that again) for the most part I have been doing well on my calorie in take and the cigs have a 3 day notice. I am actually excited to go home and tackle that wii. I just have to get in better shape its so funny that I really hadnt realized just how unhealthy I am. I have to be honest I got the LB becuse of all the wrong reasons (I know I will get alot of mean comments) I dont know how to put it without sounding vien and I dont want to come across like that cause I am far from that. I just wanted to feel better about myself. I now know just how much this LB is benefiting me and I am ashamed that I hadnt came to that realization prior to my making such a drastic life change but I am on track now. I had a ahha moment better late then never. :w00t: Michelle

8 days yeah

:thumbup::thumbup:I am 8 days away from my band and I cant think of anything else. Weather its good thoughts or my just worrying. I am so greatful for this site. I feel as if i know so much more now and I am so much more prepared. I have a whole list of questions for my Dr. and tommorrow is my pre op oppt. When i first dealt with my Dr. he asked if i had any questions and i said NO i just didnt know what questions to ask. I just hope I can come back to work soon I plan to just take under a week off the only problem is i live an hour away and i hear so many people say they are so tired by the end of the day and i just dread the thought of my being tired and fighting traffic but if that is my biggest issue then i guess i will be lucky. i just cant wait untill i am the one loving my band hell i love it already.:tt1:

3 days

I only have three days well Thur. at this time I will be on my way into surgery. I spend my Sunday morning in the ER. I was convinced I had kidney failure LOL. Only after hours of testing and two different Doctors was I convinced that I was ok. I have been so stressed out that I made myself sick. I just didnt want anything to stop my having surgery this week. So every pain I pay close attention too. I am just worried about the band getting infected / erroded. I just dont want to be one of those people that for one reason or another the band fails me. I am willing and prepared to do all that is in my power to assure success. I just fear those issues that I have no control of. Yes,believe it or not I did pass my phys. evaul. LOL.

3 1/2 months and 44 pounds down YEAH

Well I havent posted in a while and I am happy to say that I have been doing well I am down 44 pounds and I feel good about my progress. I hadnt worked out like I should have been but as of last week I started my personal training sessions. I do have one complaont MY ARMS OMG they look as if the skin is not popping back in that area maybe its because i had lipo 2 1/2 years ago on my arms but I am going to get thet together some serious arm exercises. I am so happy that I had enough courage to get banded it was one of the best decisions i have made. I just have to stay on my work out sed. no matter what I cant let anything get in my way. I have only had two fills and again I feel so lucky I feel as if I have found my sweet spot. I cant wait to get off of work to go work out I need it just as much as i want it I just hope I can stay focus.
