It's been close to 3 years since last post :{

I've been so busy. Life does that to you. Current weight as of a week ago is 202. On banding day (7/11/06) I was at 208, prior to that I started at 224 w/first visit to doctor to start all of this. Fills: 11/06 - 5cc/194#/BMI 37 5/07 - Pulled out fluid, found 4cc, added on more to total 5cc again/202#/BMI 38 8/07 - Pulled out fluid again, 5cc still there, added 1cc for a total of 6cc/198#/BMI 37   I'm happy to have kept the weight off but not happy that I haven't lost.   I've done it to myself. I haven't been watching what I put into my mouth in the past 3 years.   Last Monday I started logging what I'm eating. I've come back here to look for support and to talk to others about what they are doing and how it might be working for them--or not.   I will try my best to keep up on the logging.

I DID IT! I DID IT! took a while but I DID IT!

I made a goal in 2007 that I wanted to get to 195 by December of 2007. That would have been 13 pounds from my surgery date weigh in. When I last journaled in Nov I see that I was at 198. Oh so close and I think that's why I thought I could do it on my own. Didn't need anyones help, I was working it and it was working. Oh what I know now.   I met my goal this morning of 195!!!:thumbup:   I would have told you a year ago that writing in a journal really didn't make a difference. I'm here today to tell you that it does.   I don't count calories, I just write down what and when I eat and how much water I've had. I listen to my body when it tells me it's satisfied, not full but satisfied. I bring snacks and water w/me where ever I go so I won't be tempted.   But if I want a peice of candy, french fry, buttered popcorn or what ever - I have some, not a lot and don't feel guilty about doing it.   I've always known that exercise is a great help but I do believe that for the first time I've found my "sweet spot" on an exercise program called Zumba.   Thank you everyone who has responded to my blogs, been there in chat and who has posted. You all have done so much for me!

16! 16! Oh did I tell you 16!

Went to a shop the other day to find shoes, couldn't resist and went to the clothes. Even went to the Petite area. Being 5’1” I’ve always dreamed of shopping in that section but they’ve never carried “big girl clothes”.     Found a pair of size 16W pants, tried them on and almost screamed in the changing room.     They went over my thighs w/out a problem at all. Then up and over my hips w/ease and then I went to zip them up—had to hold my breath but they zipped up.   I haven’t been able to zip up a pair of size 16 in a long time.     Let alone shop in the “regular” area of the store. I think it was 3 years ago when I did. Oh it put such a smile on my face.   I didn’t buy them but it just made me feel so good and brought it to my face that what I’m doing it working!!   I went home and found my 18W that I had put away. They went on like butter, they were a regular pant, not one with stretch either. I wore them the next day to work and so many people committed on how I’ve changed and ask “what are you doing”.   I explain to them that I came to my senses and have been watching what I eat and exercising twice a week.

Size 16!

This has been a long road. I started in 7/06 at 225. I was doing well and thought I could do it on my own. I stepped away from support, follow ups and chat blogs.   It took me 3 years to come back and find my say. I’ve been working on this for the past 6months. I’ve been able to drop 25 pounds and 36.5 inches. ZUMBA IS SO MUCH FUN!!   I have learned that if I exercise, complete a daily journal, drink at least 64 oz of liquid a day, weigh daily (really try not to do that one, but you know how it goes when you’re on a diet) or weekly, and measure; I can do this…stay on track…I can smile again and be proud of what I’m doing.   The standing goal for life is to keep up w/my life change once I meet my weight goal of 145. On each diet that I’ve done (and I’ve done a lot), I’ve never thought about “what to do at the end when I reach my goal”. I always went back to the way things were.   And then I would gain it all back and more…I don’t want this!   I’ve gone from a 22 to a 16 in pants …I don’t want that again!   I’ve dropped over 30 inches…I don’t want it back!   I have a matinee coming up soon. I’ve had this dress in my closet for 3 years, just waiting till the day I could wear it. I put it on and guess what? IT WAS TOO BIG! I went over to my mom’s house and found some clothes there. I found out that I now wear a size 16! I haven’t seen a 16 in YEARS! It felt so good; it put a skip in my step all day long.   I’m so happy to be on the journey to a new life!

I'm finding it easier...

Food journal: I used to hate it, but I've been writing since April of this year and it's become part of my daily routine and I don't even think twice about it.   I don’t do calorie counts, I journal what and when I eat only. I found (in the past) that it just took up to much time to find out what the calorie(s) was for each and every thing I ate or drank.   I've been losing weight, so I guess you could say what I've been works. Since I’m a visual person, I like how this keeps me on track at a glance.   I've been posting here and emailing my mom (trying to get her on track too) about my food journal.   She found a site and told me about the food dairy section. She said it was easy to use. I tried it out today and I think I've found an site to log into and get my calorie counts for the day.   I had been on this site (www.myfitnesspal.com) about a month ago, but only used it as a "ticker" creation. I looked through it but thought there really wasn't anything there that I needed. Guess I was wrong.   It lets you input exercise info too.

I'm Half Way There!

I hit my half way mark today!!! :thumbup:   I am so happy! :thumbup:I have 40 more to go. :wub:   Since I've been keeping my food dairy at myfitnesspal.com it has made it easier to count the calories now. I used to hate doing it.   I also keep track of my exercise workout there.   It has really helped keep me on track with my food. I was keeping a dairy of just the food I hate, not the amount or calorie count. You could say it was a practice run till I could find a website that meet my needs.   I'm still working out twice a week in a Zumba class (LOVE IT :wub:) and I want to start back up in my water aerobics class too. Now with school back in I need to work that into my schedule.   I have an appointment w/my doctor this week but I think I'm going to push it back a few months to (last fill was in July) see if I continue losing easily. :thumbup: I've heard that as you lose you need it tighter to keep your sweet spot--right now I like how tight I am.   Have a great day everyone!

First Fill Since Nov. 2007

Okay, I can tell you that I was truly nervous while waiting in the waiting room. I haven't been here in over a year, not sure if he would do a fill or not, would he ask about my journal...   After getting weighed and finding out that their scale showed me to be 4 pound heavier than my home scale, my feelingss where hurt. "I've been working really hard this past month and I thought it was working!" But after I calmed down and remembered that each scale can be different and that it's ok to go by my scale at home (the one that shows I've lost 9 pounds since June) I felt better.   So...he came in and I really felt it was like a wham pam thank you mame kind of visit.   He let me know that I really should have been coming in. Said that in order for this to really work I need to visit at least every other month.   He asked if I felt restricted- "not really" Do you want a fill - "yes" Do you have reflux - "yes" Sleep apnea -"yes" I told him that the last time he and another doctor tried to give me a fill that they had a problem finding my port and that I wanted a local cause it hurt. He said that he really didn't do that and that this shouldn't hurt. WRONG - He had a problem, took longer then it should have and each time he moved the needle around it would pinch me in the inside. But he did eventually find it. He pulled out 8cc, my records indicated that there should have been 7cc in so we both were surprised to find more. He added it back along with a half cc more.   I found restriction while drinking the water in the waiting room and then later when I ate lunch and at dinner, I could feel I was fuller a bit sooner.   It was a strange feeling though when to took out the 8cc. You know how it feels when your pants or belt is to tight after you've eaten and then you undo and fell relieved? I could feel the opening of the band and of it being filled back up.   I think I will be looking for another doctor too.

This is new

I received a fill in July of this year. I had not received one since November of 2007. (That's when I thought I was a know it all and could do it myself. I was losing weight and didn't need support - of any kind)   Boy I was I wrong. I had dropped 30 pounds in 2007 since my surgery in July of 2006, but when I decided to get my a$$ together I was 10 heavier. In April of 2009 you could say I was reborn. I decided that I did need help—OF ANY KIND! I started searching the web, keeping a food journal, joined a support group and went to see my doctor (for the first time since 11/07).   I rec’d a fill in July, the doc and I thought there was only 7cc in but we soon found out I had 8cc. He added only .5cc but it was enough. It took a good 2 weeks before I could really feel the restrictions.   I’ve always been tight in the morning but now it’s a bit more. I drink before I eat to help loosen things up. I can only eat half of what I used to in the morning and I’m hungry w/in an hour.   This is new; Yesterday I became concerned while trying to eat my lunch: [/b]:%20void(0);"]Mission Tortillas - Yellow Corn Tortillas - Super Size (Approx 6.5"), 1 tortilla [/b]:%20void(0);"]Cheese - Cheddar, 0.5 oz [/b]:%20void(0);"]Lettuce - Iceberg (includes crisphead types), raw, 0.5 leaf outer [/b]:%20void(0);"]Sun Vista - Black Beans -- No Salt Added, 0.025 cup [/b]:%20void(0);"]Taco Bell - Taco Sauce - Medium, 1 tbsp I started having heart palpitations after having 3 bits. I put my hand on my chest and could feel it move. It didn’t last long but boy is was scary. I waited a few minutes and it stopped and I was able to finish my taco.   I had another taco for dinner and didn’t have any problems.   I get stuck more often now I’ve noticed too. I need to remember to chew, chew, chew.

A cry for help

I was doing so well during the summer. Posting each day about my food, liquids and exercise.   Since the kid's school has started I can't find the time do log. I'm lost.   I eat whats easy and that's usually not the right thing.   I've been dumping lately because I'm eating on the go.   I wish it was summer again!   I'm maintaining but....how long will that last.   I cancelled my fill for this month because I was doing so well. I moved it to November. I think I might need to call and move it up.   I fell I'm losing it!   HELP!!

Help me I'm melting...No wait-don't! :)

I have had my new fill now for about 2 weeks. It was tight the first few days and then it felt like it loosened up and I could eat just like I had before.   Well in 8 days I’ve lost 3 pounds!! I step on the scale each day and I see it just going away. I was teetering between 196 & 198 and now I’m over it and melting the pounds away. But I’m still thinking I may need ¼ more at my next doctor’s visit in September.   It feels so good! My lowest weight ever, since I started was 189 and it feels really good that I am getting closer and closer to that once again.   My kids are great; they’ve been so supportive during all of this even though they feel they’ve lost their fast food fixes. We still go but just not as often as we used to, instead of going EVERYDAY we go maybe every other week if that. They’ve learned that if we do go, FRENCH FRIES are right out!   I will get grilled this and no bun that. The other day the twins (DDs) wanted to go out to Jack’s for breakfast. They earned money and needed fast food fix. The girls ordered french toast sticks, hash browns, and a breakfast jack.   I mulled over the menu and decided to have an egg, cheese and a sausage with hot sauce. It took all I had not to have the croissant that would have companied this. But by asking to hold the croissant, I took control and enjoyed my breakfast with-out feeling denied. (out of sight, out of mind—and not missed)   I am able to get my bread fix, we have mini plan bagels in the house right now, and I will have a half a bagel w/cream cheese and a deli slice of ham. This I do have to REALLY CHEW! I have noticed that with this fill, bread isn’t my friend anymore. I eat more flour tortillas these days than I ever have before. It isn’t a bad thing mind you but, who knew?   The other thing that has been on my mind is my tummy. I see that my core is getting smaller (thank you ZUMBA!!) and my tummy skin is sagging more. This will be a costly fix when I’m at that point to get it removed since I’m sure my insurance won’t cover it. I'll be looking into this soon, so I can start saving.

Swine Flu

Last Monday I was told my oldest DS had the Swine Flu (SF).   I have four kids and thank GOD only one had it. I can tell you I lost a lot of sleep for a few days.   But we were lucky, he had a mild case. He had been feeling sick the week prior, worse over the weekend and by Monday after going to Urgent Care (We went because we had been in contact w/someone who had been tested postitive the Friday prior, got a phone call that let us know). There was a close call w/strep too. He had white bumps on his tonsils too. It came back negitive so at least I had one thing off of my list to worry about.   They did a SF rapid test on 3 of four of my kids and only one was positive but we still needed to have the lab follow up done for the next day. It was a long day, waiting for that phone call to tell me the results. It came late in the day (of course) and all was the same from the night before at Urgent Care. Only one had SF and the rest had cold symptoms...ear infections, water behind both ears and swollen limph nodes.   Because my DS did not have a high grade fever we did not receive the medicine Tamiflu (sp?) to fight it, we were told to use over the counter meds.   I am happy to say that he is on the mend, he went to school that Wednesday and only missed one day of school. His fever was gone by that evening and was fever clear for 24 hours. He had residual muscle aches from all the sneezing and mild headaches but as of today is his back to normal!   I am now trying to get back into the right eatting habits again. I was eating what I could, when I could.   I hope you and yours are safe during this difficute flu time.   PLEASE REMEMBER TO WASH YOUR HANDS, KEEP SOME HAND SANITIZER NEAR OR WITH YOU!   IF YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER IS SICK ...PLEASE, PLEASE STAY AT HOME.

207#--Measuring to come later

It's weigh and measure day! :omg: This morning at 9:45am my weight is 207#. When DH gets home later we'll measre. I feel good about what shap my body is forming into even though I've only lost one pound since surgery. I can't lie; I'm a disappointed in the weight since that whats in my face at the moment. I keep hearing my mom "so how much weight have you lost, really, I thought you were suppose to lose 2# a week?"   The worked on the bump on bum last night. It is soft & as I pushed on it I could feel it separate. I hope if I work on it it will go down. I've had it for a few years but now that my bum is getting smaller you can really see it. I think is just full of fatty tissue like what I have on the side of my thighs that I had worked out in PT.   9:45: Started water B/L 11:30: 12 pc Chkn Tortelloni w/2T pesto sauce 12:15 Started another water Snack 1:15 : 100Cal Dorito Snack (OMG was that good) D 6ish: Turkey Sweet Sausage (not sure if I'll get this again--had hard pieces in it like bones) 1/2c chkn tortelloni w/pesto   Went to the park w/a friend and it was hot out. We only stayed an hour in a half. We got to talking about breakfast and how we both don't do it much. She said that if she eats she usually eats w/in an hour of doing it. I tried to explain that she needs a protein to supstain her till lunch or for at least a few hours. She's going to try it and I'm going to work on getting breakfast in me! I'm slow on the water today to but I think I will finish before I go to bed. Dinner was good but I'm hungry. I'm finding this happening more and more each night. 9:15 snack: 100 Cal Popcorn I think by the time I see Dr. Brunson on the 23rd I will be ready for a fill.

Still Here But...

I'm still here but haven't had the will to "be on top fo things".   Family, holidays, death....you name it it's been here and some of it is still here.   I've been able to maintain!!   Starting logging once...need to get back into that. I know that it helps to realize what you are eating and when.   Had to drop my ever loving Zumba class due to cost but I found another. Just need to sign up for it now. Need to put it back into my schedule!   Keep up the good work everyone!

Want to hear something funny?!

Real quick...I went looking for my belt this morning.   Well I found it, put it on and then noticed that it was my husbands belt!   I figured it out as I tried to buckle it up. Got it to the first loop and couldn't understand why it wasn't going down like it usually does...then I really looked at the belt. I had such a huge smile on my face! I started laughing! Set the tone for the rest of my day!   HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Getting Ready

:peep:I'm scared. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this for 10 days. It was easy before when there was no kids but now that there are 4 of them in the house I hope I can do it. I'm finding that I'm staying up longer each night. Getting up around 9 or 10 in the morning. Thank goodness it's summer break now. I still have a sore throat and I don't know what I'm going to do w/the pain. Can't take anything after Sunday. I'm looking into homeopathic though. I still have my kit. The other thing I've done is quite smoking again. I started 6 months ago. Why--I don't know. Did it later to calm my nerves and to calm me when I was upset w/Bruce. I quite 3 days ago and so far don't want another one.:clap2:

22 Days Out (208#)

Well I had a scare there for a bit. On the 28th I lifted a watermelon and I pulled some muscels. On Monday of this week I felt really bad. It hurt to do just about anything that involved my left side. I took some meds. Lortab and I felt better while sleeping and yesterday I felt better then I had in a few days. It's even better today. NO MORE LIFTING FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!   The boys have been helping me lift or bend over to pick up things. The girs too.   I'm still at the same weight. I guess that is good but bad. I think I'm going to do the fill next week.   I wonder what would happen if I did a 5 or 10 day liquid again? I know it would work and I would hate it but.... Well see after the fill how things go.   We've been working on the kitchen--the kids and--and things are looking better.

Day 1

I woke up around 10ish. DH told me that I needed to take the DSs to the game since his throat hurt. I really was hoping that my first day would be spent at home not seeing or smelling any food.   I drank the Joe Robb's protein drink and it was ok. I thought it would have that metal taste that I remember from Optifast but it didn't. I added ice and had to chew at least half of it.   I was upset at meself this morning cause I didn't get the kitchen done the way I wanted to. It's still a mess and its hard to find a place to make my drinks.   I'm coughing and have bloody burgers still. DH gave me 4 Vit. Cs this morning. I hope I don't get a tummy ache.   Off to get ready for the game.

Day 2 of Liquid Diet

I did ok at the game. I saw the food but didn't really want it. We went as a family to Souplantation after and I had broths. It was ok.   I only had one protein drink yesterday before the game and my tummy only grummbled onece.   I had one more before the nights end.   Today; I did a vanilla protein and made one of each for later in the day.   I tried the one I made and it was ok but I like it better w/ice. It will do on those times when I need to leave and have one on the go.   I did wake up w/a headach--mild but there.   I borred at home so I'm thinking to much about food. I need to get out but the weather is stopping us from doing to much. 90's

4th day

Well yesterday was alot better. I had a mild headache that Tylonel took care of.   DH took me to a gathering but we didn't stay long cause I wasn't comfortable w/all the food and I hadn't had a protein drink since morning and the broth I had at Souplantation was starting to wear off.   We came home but then went out to get JELLOOOOOOO for me and other stuff.   We dropped the kids off around 4:30 yesterday at friends houses and its odd to have the house to ourselfs---SO QUITE   This morning I woke up at 4:45am w/pain while swallowing. I thought I was over this. Today is my labwork day. I don't need them to tell me that I'm refused because of a cold. It doesn't hurt as bad as it was a week ago but I can feel it when I swallow. My RT ear hurts too. SHIT!   But on a good note, if my scale is correct I've droped 9 pounds since the 2nd. Yaaaaa   I hope that Dr. Brunson doesnt' want a food journal from me today---I AINT GOT ONE. I don't even know where mine is either.   Talk later

SWEET SPOT here I come!

Have I told you lately that I LOVE THIS BAND!! This is the best diet tool I've ever used. I'm so happy that I decided to get this! Summer is coming to an end and the kids are excited to go back to school and so am I!!   We’ve been so busy w/playing and cleaning that I haven’t had time to blog.   I’m going to push back my appointment for a fill in September. I’ve been doing well this last month; I’ve lost 8 pounds with no problem, could I have found my SWEET SPOT?! (Last fill- July 16th) With going to Zumba twice a week; I’ve also dropped another 10.75 inches! Since I’ve been working out in Zumba (since April) I’ve lost a total of 21.75” and 12#’s!   I have been emailing my mom with my daily food journal. She has a weight issue too. I thought by showing her what I ate, when and that it worked that she might try.   It worked; she started this week but wanted to start out doing shakes only. I convinced her that the shakes are good when you’re in a rush but that food is the best way to go (keep a journal, watch the portion size and eat more than 3 times a day—she is NOT banded). But also knowing from the past that the shakes get boring quickly and then she starts eating the WRONG things.   For the week she has been doing it right and has dropped a pound already!   WAY TO GO MOM!

Passing on the Fill

I've thought it over and I'm going to pass on the fill this time.   I've lost 3 pounds since surgery and my clothes fell great. I want to feel better about what I have inside of me. I want to wait another month or so.   I meet with Dr. Brunson on the 23rd and I'm sure we'll talk about it again.   I'm feeling great. No pain on my side.   I do find that I can eat more then I thought I would be able to. I need to rememeber to eat the protein portion of the food first.   We had chicken tacos last night and I had three. It sure was good going down but I was hunger later (10ish).   I also need to find something else to eat while at Souplantation. It's becoming boring, same ol-thing again and again.   I need to find that cookbook! Before & After: Living & Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery By: Susan Maria Leach Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery By: Patt Levine/Michele Bontemo Sarary. Both are over $20 in the local bookstores and under that on line but by the time you pay for shipping, it's like buying it local.

Day 8 - Liquid Diet

Two days ago Mom the kids and I went to Grandma's house. Ty locked the keys in the van. Bruce didn't come till close to 8 to get the keys out. Mom and I spent 4 hours working on Grandma's room which was a good thing but I was soooooooo hungry and so was everyone else.   We went to JB and I got everyone food and sat there w/my diet soda. I turend my head but the food smelt so good. I was really hoping that one of the kids wouldn't finish their food. While waiting I had 4 fries. Kira was the one who didn't finish her burger. I hate half a burger w/lettuce and pickle and then mom gave me some of hers. I tell you that was the best dam burger I ever had! And I had the runs for the next two days.   Yesterday I only had two spoonfulls of tuna salad and a slice of chedder chz at Steph's. Not bad. I had to leave the house last night cause we had Pizzu Hut and I really wanted some. So I went to Steph's.   Today I haven't had a thing. Step and I went to the movies and I didn't eat anything---WAY TO GO MELIA! The popcorn sure did smell good though.   The kids will be dropped off at the appropriate houses tomorrow night and then I'll be in the hospital by 10:30 on Tuesday.   I've had a pain in my throat since yesterday and today it's hard to swallow. I've taken Tylenol so we'll see if it goes away.   When I got home the family was out. It's 8:55 and they are still not home. Must be out eating.

I'm working it!!

Up at 7:30 and started my day. Worked around the house before going to Zumba at 9:30. Didn’t have time to eat at home so did it while I drove to class. The last time I didn’t eat before class I almost passed out. Don’t want that to happen again.   B/9:15- 2 Spc K Grab N Go (100 Cal ea.) 9:30-10:30 Zumba class Snack/11:15 Protein Shack (Peanut Butter) L/1:15 Hotdog w/bun, mustard, ketchup and pickle relish. (Had a doctor’s appt. at 11:45-12:45, so lunch was late) D/5:40 (not hunger yet and going to do another Zumba at 6:30) On the way to class had a Spc K Grab N Go D/8:00pm Take out/Mx-shrimp burrito (huge one), ate half. Lettuce, tomatos, shrimp, salsa, white sauce and a side of radishes (4). Now at 9:10 I have acid reflux. Zumba class was great! Water/Drinks(8oz): lllllll (56oz today :redface:)   Had a stressful day w/the kids. Just the usual—not getting along. But I’m proud of myself for not turning to food to escape the issue.   I will try to remember to weigh in and measure this weekend.
