7th Fill on 03/10/2011

Hello everyone,   I had my 6th fill on August 10, 2010 and I had my seventh fill on March 10, 2011 and I thought I had some restriction. But not at all. So I'm really trying not to gain weight! So I've decided to do the low carb diet and see what happens.   Today is Day 1: I had 1 salmon (43 grams of protein) 1 Tilapia (23 grams of protein) and a cup of broccoli sauteed in Smart Balance

Review

I called UHC just to check the status of my claim and I was told that it is being reviewed and I should have an anwser this week. I hope so, because I am ready to get going!! I have started on Adipex and I feel a lot better! I am eating very little a day (a little over 600 calories a day). Thank God...just wanted to give you an update.   Sheila   Be BLESSED!:girl_hug:

Oh My....

Okay I can't wait until I get my first fill!!! I really ate TOO much over the weekend!! I ate soul food on Saturday and a bite or two of cake, then I ate a tiny slice of pizza. On yesterday I ate three tacos, potato salad, baked beans, hot link, slice of chocolate chip cheese cake and a few bites of a cherry cheese cake. I was really BADD!!! But it was GOOD!!! Okay today I have already eaten a grab bag of sour cream Ruffles 400 calories!! My May goal is really looking unreachable...I need to lose 12:cry :cry pounds by May 31st! :heh: :heh: I'm going to try my best to meet it!!!!   Be blessed

Eleven Down and Too Much To Go!

Hello everyone,   I started on Adipex on 12/2, but before I started Adipex I was watching what I ate. So last night I weighed and "my" scale said 242! I'm thinking that can't be correct...but it is! I guess since I've been a little more discipline lately and exercising along with the Adipex it's starting to show. Oh by the way I am taking only half of the Adipex a day (it's too strong). So I updated my ticker for the first time!!! I hope I keep it up!:clap2:   Sheila   Be BLESSED!

Day 3 on Semi-Liquid Diet

Alrighty today was much better on this pre-opt diet.   Breakfast: New Whey 42gr protein shot blended w/ice, 2 sugar free banana popsicles (2carbs each)& skim milk (really good).   Lunch: Not even a cup of tomato soup.   Dinner: 1-1/2 cup of Albondigas (mexican meatball soup) yummy! I did eat about five really small meatballs and veggies (oh well). New Whey 42gr protein shot blended w/ice, 2 sugar free banana popsicles (2 carbs each)& skim milk. I used a little Splenda in that one to make it sweeter.   Be Blessed!

UHC Approval!!

I am finally approved for the Lap Band!!! Yet still nervous and scared...point blank. I guess it's the whole idea of putting something inside me that do not belong. I feel like I am saying the same things over and over again, but I can't help it. I've had a breast reduction before so it's not the surgery that is bothering me. I don't know...I'm just scared:cry   Sheila Be BLESSED!

Double Cheeseburger & Fries!

Okay late last night after I got in bed I freak out about not eating some of my fav foods. So at 11:15PM I went tearing up the house for change, since my ATM card is deactivated (thank God). I found money and off to Wendy's I went! I ordered a double stack w/ extra mayo and medium fry! mane! I felt like an addict! Afterwards I wanted to cry, because I can't continue to mess up the pre-opt diet. So I feel really bad...I meet with the surgeon on 1/5 and I hope he won't notice:embarassed:. I don't know :phanvan. Starting today I will have ONLY liquids!   Be Blessed!

Oh MY Goodness!!

Okay, this morning I my journal entry say I need to lost 2 pounds to be in wonderland and I need to lost 3 pounds to meet my April goal of 10 pounds. Well,I went to church came home (I still haven't eaten) and went straight to the park. I stopped by the grocery store on my way home, and soon as I got in I got on the scale it is say: 200 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I need to lose 1 pound to be in 1DERLAND and 2 pounds to meet my April goal of 10 pounds. I think I'm more excited to be in 1DERLAND than to meet my April goal! I can't beleive it I should be ARRIVING in 1DERLAND by tomorrow!! I took the advice from one of the celebrity trainers (I can't remember his name). He said it's good to work out on an empty stomach, so that's what I'll do. As for today I'm getting ready to have some soup!!! It feels like Christ-mas Eve today and tomorrow is Christ-mas!!   Be Blessed!

Post Opt Day 6

Hello everyone,   I am on day seven since surgery and it's going well. I can not seem to drink more than about 42 or so grams of protein. I will discuss that with the nutritionist today...other than that I drink Crystal Light and eat popsicle and chicken noodle broth. I haven't weighed, but I can tell a difference in my clothes and face. I assume they will weigh me today. Until next time, I will type ya later.   Be BLESSED!

3 Weeks Banded

It has been three weeks since I was banded and I feel good! Thank you Jesus!!! I just finished a MAJOR workout while listening to Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied"! I feel GREAT! My weight loss is a stand still, some silly plateau that I am getting ready to get rid of! I got pounds to lose and I don't need anything slowing me down! The good thing is I have gained any weight! I had Tilapia and roasted mashed potatoes last night for dinner, leftovers today for lunch and dinner! I thought I didn't have that much restriction, but I do. More than anything I want to drink liquids, so I'm always drinking my water. Fruit H2O is the best, it was one of my favs three years ago. Anywayyyyyyy, I'm goin to bed early!   Be Blessed!

The Process Begins

Today is October 27th and I have made up my mind to have the Lap Band procedure. I've gone to the Dr. Woodman's (901-869-2000) seminar and have spoke with so many nice people here on LapBandtalk.com that have made me feel that this is a great decision. I have scheduled my first appoinment with Dr. Woodman (Novemeber 3rd, day before my birthday)I've also made an appointment with the nutritionist (Jennifer Krog 901-767-3576) and I am in the process of waiting for the psychologist nurse to call me back to set up and appointment with the psychologist (Dr. Mace Coday 347-8206). Oh yeah I am also waiting for my primary care physician to send me the letter of reccomending the Lap Band and my medical records. So hopefully everything will go smooth, but I am expecting so bumps in the road. I will update you all soon on my process.:drum:

The Ups and Downs

I go for my eight fill this week and I'm kinda down. I think I will forever struggle with my weight. Even after being banded, I knew the band wasn't a cure but this up and down is really getting to me. I'm going to start back to square one with liquids and see what happens AGAIN!
