third times a charm..so they say

I am getting my 6 month eval and my 3rd fill tomorrow. I sure hope this time it works. I have had ZERO restriction since Jan. I am pretty sure i am eating the right things but just to much ( quantity). Im working out 3 times a week.. i can now be on the bike for 1 hour and sweat my ass off...the machine tells me that i have burned 300+ calories but im not sure if i should believe it.Mu nect challenge is to try the step machine and gett into a aerobics class with out fainting or making a fool out of myself.   wish me luck. I am dreading getting on the scale tomorrow...i have lost only 5 lbs since my last fill in Jan.

All I get is a voice mail....

OK so since i had my 4 th fill on MAy 20th i can officially say that i dont feel my Band. I still have zero restriction and can eat well over 10-12 oz of food at a meal. In 3 weeks i have lost 2-3 lbs..... so i called my Dr office to ask to come in for my 5 th fill...but all i get is a recording!!! Last friday i called 3 times..... thank goodness it is not a real emergency. I will keep on calling this week till i get a human on the phone. I do not want to wait till july 24th for my fill.   I am fustrated..... but still happy i have lost a total of 40lbs. I have realistic goals. Unfortunally in the last 7 days i have overdone it with the food. Tomorrow is weigh in I am thinking of skipping it cuz i am not going to like what i see,,, Ofcourse i am sure my husband will step on that scale and see another 3 lbs gone.   have a great week everyone

..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!

candy candy!!!

Ok so i am 4 weeks POst Op. Lost 18 lbs so far and now comes the day when i am surrounded by candy. I have never had a big sweet tooth but i am craving a Kitcat or a Recesse. I have 3 small kids who are excited to go out tricker treating...i will go with them. But by tomorrow morning 80% of that candy has to be out of the house. My kids dont know what most of those candys are so i want to keep it that way. And i also what to they it away from me. Am i being mean? unfair? i dont think so, my kids do not have a weight problem, but i do not want a sugar overload that for sure will lead to Time Outs! I have my first fill in two weeks, i hope i can last. I am feeling hundry every 3 hours and so far i have not felt any restriction, BUT i am keeping an eye on portions, protein and CHEWING. Good luck to all!!!

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.

Just another day...

Well i had Thanksgiving lunch ready and server by 1:30pm. It was only my kids, my husband and my mother this year. I made a roasted chicken that came out pretty good...atl easy i think so since i could not really taste much since i still have a cold. I did not pig out, i had my protein 1st but i could not reject the stuffing, so i made sure it was really wet and chewed like crazy.Now i am just reslly really thursty!! It has been 2 months since i got banded and i have lost 22 Lbs. I know it could be more if i worked out, but im happy. My goal for New Years is to loose a total of 30lbs by than. hope everyone had a good day!!:cool2:
