Negative family and friends?

I am having issues with some of my family members making remarks to my sister and me about losing weight. We both had lapband surgery about two weeks apart and we are so excited to be going through this journey together. Several of our relatives have made comments like “don’t get too small” or “XL will be too small for you and I don’t think you need to get that small” What are you serious an XL shirt is too small? It’s like they have seen us so big our entire lives and cannot wrap it around their brains that we are losing weight and may be smaller one day. I told a friend that my dream size wedding dress was 12 and she was said “you will never be a 12 sorry to tell you”! She tried to back track it and say she meant that my bone structure isn’t made for a size 12. LMBO! How does she know what my bones look like under 200 pounds of extra weight!!! By the way we are no longer friends because that wasn’t the first negative remark she has made. At that time I weighed 373 and I guess she couldn’t see me smaller either. Well, I am going to do this and no matter what anyone thinks I am going to lose weight!!! Does anybody else have issues or stigmas in their family that see skinny or even normal as a negative? My goal weight is 199 and that is not near being skinny.

10lbs in one month!!!!!

I am so excited right now!!! I have been working so hard to see some results on that dreadful scale! I went for a fill at my old Dr.'s office on 9-7 and I weighed in at 331. Today I am 320.2 this morning!!!!! Yea!!!!!! I did have another fill on 9-16 though because my old Dr. was acting like the fill police and I lost 3lbs between June-Sept.7! After being stalled for 3 months and my doctor not listening to me about still being hungry all the time and not feeling any kind of restriction I decided to move on. It was the best decision for me. I feel like it's my body and my money! I paid her 150.00 for a fill and she gave me .1cc and I told her I needed more. She turned to me and asked me how many patients did I have? LOL! Well, now she has one less! HA on her!!!! I am doing great now! I can't blame it all on the poor fills because I have also been busting my butt in the gym 5 days a week to get this 10lbs off! I can't wait until my next vist my new doctor to show my results!:confused:

5K Race for the Cure!

I am so happy that I completed my first Race for the Cure today! My mother would be so happy to see me walking in her honor and not giving up no matter how bad my feet and knees hurt. I hope to be in better shape next year to actually run!:thumbup:

Good Fill!!!:)

I can finally say I am having good restriction! I am not going to say it's my sweet spot yet because I just got the fill on 9-7 but it's gettting better and better each day! I hope it is my sweet spot though!:thumbup: I am so ready to lose some weight! I worked out everday last week and did one hour today in the gym also!

Fill Visit today:(

I am so sad because today is my weigh in and fill visit and according my scale I have only lost 1 pound with clothes on and 3 with clothes off, but since I will be fully clothed at the dr office I have offically lost 1 pound and by 2:20Pm today it may not be a loss at all because I am usually 1 to 3 pounds heavier by the end of the day. I am not going to eat today but we will see! I cried at my last appointment and I am crying now so this journey is not good for me now! I thought it would be awesome.....I keep telling my Dr. I don't have any restriction but it doesn't help, so I have scheduled a consult with another Dr. for next week maybe they will give me the proper fill. I feel like a loser every time I go weigh in just about. I want to cancel my appointment but I need the fill today. By the way I have worked out for the past 5 days and watched my calories and still nothing!:smile:

I did 35 min of Tae Bo!!

I am so excited!!! I did 35 min of Taebo this morning with only one modification. I hope I can repeat in the morning. I haven't been working out like I should but I am getting disappointed because of my lack of weight loss this summer! It's up to me to get up and do something about it, so I am! I just hope I don't fail at this band because I don't want to have any other weight loss operations.

Feeling good!

I am so happy I change Lap-band doctors!! Dr. Barker's office is so much better. The staff is friendlier and motivational. He gave me a .4cc fill which is more than the other office was doing each visit. They were giving me .1 and .2 cc and that didn't faze me at all. For the first time I am feeling good when I eat only 1/2 cup. Not full not hungry just satisfied. Awesome! I have lost 3 pounds since Thursday!!! Wow! I should have switched doctors when I first moved then I would be under 300 by now! I do have to say that I have been working out more too so I can't blame it all on not having good fills. I am going to go the YMCA to work out today. My regular gym is closed on Sundays. I hate to pay 10 for one day, but I want to kick my week off right. Plus I am 324.8 w/o being fully dressed and 326 with clothes on this morning and I wanted to start Monday off at 325 that means I need to burn around 1000 calories today! I cleaned this morning and I am going to wash so that will give me about 200 calories and 30 on the elliptical will be 700 and another 100 or so from the bike. I will eat 1200 min calories for the day. So far I have ate an egg with 1oz of cheese and 1/4 cup of oatmeal. This past week was awesome and I am looking forward to some more weight loss this week! Good luck everyone this week!
