1st fill...feeling wiered and Thanksgiving is almost here

So i got my 1st fill on Thurs. This is after getting up with a cold and having to take my daughter to thr Dr just to find out she had STREP throat!! Thankfully my Dr found the port on the first try. He said my band was one of the larger ones and that we would start with 3cc and see how that does. The minute the saline went in i felt the pressure. Before i left he made me drink two glasses of H2O to make sure it went down. it did. So now i am back on liquids till Sunday night and them mushies..then maybe by Thanksgiving i will be able to have a bite of the roasted Chicken dinner i am planning to make...:rolleyes:yes i said chicken. I have never been a fan of turkey and since its only going to be 4 adults and 3 kids at the table it is not worth going though the trouble a turkey. I am planning on making a yummy stuffing ( my favorite)with apples, even thought i will probably not be able to pass it down. My goal not is to loose a total of 30lbs by Xmas>... only 11 lbs to go! My wish is to be loosing Slow but steady.

#%&^* hair Loss #3

Ok so i have been reading up on hair loss in relation to rapid weight changes. It seems that when you have weight loss surgery your body focuses on recovery and healling. This means that whatever protain it is taking in it is using it to heal your affected areas. So the body stops "caring" about hair growth for a while. I also read that the body goes into "shock" from all the changes from surgery and at some point it will recover. Till then, i am eating lots of protein, taking Biotin 1000mg every day and staying away from vitamin A. Also Found out that having to much vitamin A can encourage hair loss... So i think i have been overdosing on it since 4 of my favorite foods have a high amout of it : red peppers, broccoli, carrots and mangos!! i will not stop eating them, but i will make sure i am not eating them all the same day. I have my 2nd fill on thurs.. i will talk to the nutricionist about it. I also plan to get a hair cut, just so that i dont freak out every time i wash my hair :thumbup: The report i read also said that hair regrowth can take anywhere from 3 months to 12 months!!!   hope everyone is doing well!

@$%*^ Hair loss #2

Ok..I looked for shapoo that had Biotin in it. But instead 3 days ago i started taking Biotin 1000 gm. I found it at Target and decided i need to try it. I m tired of seeing so much hair go down the drain:ohmy: I am planning on getting a haircut ( new look) soon but i need to stop the hairloss. The pill is small enough to be swalloed easily. I hope Biotin helps me with my hair on my head and not in the growth of it anywhere else hahaha!

..will anyone notice?

i just realized that on Tuesday i am going to a work related meeting where i am going to see people i have not seen since i weighed 276-280lbs:unsure: These women are very jugmental and i am sure they have been giving their opinion about my surgery and im sure their expectations are high ( none are Obese) I now weight 243lbs... I cant really see a big difference when i look at myself but i am kinda hoping my coworkers do...is that stupid? i know that what comes outof my bosses mouth is usually not sincere..so that will bug me. Anyways... i know come tuesday i will be looking in my closet for something slimming..black always works.:wink2:

..just starting to workout

it has taken me over 2 months to get the motivation to get my ass up 30 mins early , get infront of the TV and press play of 40 min cardio workout..I have to do it BEfore everyone wakes up. Im starting only 2 days a week and I am doing 100 tummy crunches. so hopefully i can keep it up for the winter...and see what I do once the noce weather comes back. Does shoveling snow count as a work out???:tongue2:   My legs, butt and shoulders are killing me right now... kinda pathetic really. But i have to do something to jump start my body...and i want to get rid of my belly, so that people stop asking me "how far along am i??" I have tried to convince my hubby to join me int eh morning workout...he is not obese but he could loose 20-30lbs and maybe that would help him with all the meds he is taking for this that and the other. BUT he is not getting up and i refuse to nagg him about it.   My twins Bday was yesterday, i cant believe thay are 3 already. my 6 year old daughter and i made them cup cakes...boy was it hard not to gobble up 2 or 3 of them...i did slip a bit...i could not resisit the frosting:bored:   Ok so hopefully in 3-4 weeks i will start seeing a differance now that im working out. It would be great to start the year 30lbs lighter....but most importantly that i can see it when i look in the mirrow have a great night!

... I need to VENT!!

So many things that fustrate me right now   1st-- Since my 2nd fill (Jan 28th) i have only lost 3 lbs and have NO restriction.Plan on joinning the YMCA to see if i get motivated to working out...ofcourse that is if my back/leg cooperate.   2nd-- My Sciatica is still bothering me. After 10 days of Celebrex and not working out (dr's orders) i decided to just get 2 work outs on thur and friday...and now i am limping. I dont want to be on Tylenol for the rest of my life. And i dont have the time to sit an heal...have 3 kids to take care of.   3rd-- TAX season... granted that we let H&R Block do it, i still never manage to get all the right paperwork for them and the ask questions i dont really know how to answer.I just hope the refund can get help us out.   4th-- Im eating WAY to much!!! my 3 year old twins seem to always want to eat. I spend way to much time in the kitchen and that just gives me axcess to "cruchy munchies". Bad habbits are really hard to break!!!   5th-- I have lost about 32lbs and have only gone down one pant size...where am i loosing the weight?   6th --- Husband is not beeing very understanding. did he forget that i got the Band?? I still cook the same way but he is bringing home a lot of crappy food and offering it to me...what a hell!! maybe he doesnt like the fact the i am about 7 lbs lighter that him now :redface:   7th -- still loosing my hair!! i have been keeping my protein intake over 70 gms a day. I have also been taking Biotin for over 1 months and got myself a hair cut. It is freaking me out!   8th-- KIDS are driving me crazy. My 6 year old daughter is talking back and being very ruff with the boys. Time outs dont seem to affect her much. But at kindergarden she is a ANGEL!! The twins are destroying the house, we have just a few pieces of furniture in the living area.Their room only has beds cuz the climb and jump off anything. THey are fighting over everything and one bites, the other one pulls hair or with whatever he has in his hand he will hit the other on the head. There is alot of helling...crying..:frown: I also failed at potty trainning this boys. they are not interested and Im so sick of diapers!!   :wub:I love my family BUt i know see how it is that food has come into my life as a lifesaver for so long... I want to change ... i need to change.   CAn anyone relate!??????!   I feel a little better now.... i realize this process takes time.
