Size 12!!!

I'm now in a size 12!! I don't think I've ever bought a size 12 since junior high school, but on last Friday I went to New York and Company and tried on and get this...." A SIZE 12 WHITE PANTS SUIT"! I remember when I wouldn't dare buy white pants! So, to my surprise it fit!! Then, I went to JCPenney and bought another size 12, I have to get new clothes, because all my other clothes are TOO BIG! Well, I feel really good about my new size. Although, the band plays a huge role in my weight loss, but I'm playing a much bigger role by exercising and watching what I eat. I'm the boss, the band is my assistant! Be Blessed!     Menu from 4/30-5/3 1 can of soup a day Half cup of 2% Milk Quaker 90 calorie snack Cup of Quaker sweet snack mix Grapes

Until My 3rd Fill

Today is day six on liquids and I am holding up good. But I am getting a little tired of it though. I took a Lipo6 today and had my chicken broth, jello, and Nectar shake.   Be blessed!

Gas Pain???

I have been having what I believe to be gas pains for about a week. I feel like I want to burp, but can't. Then I can feel it move back down to my chest. My doctor prescribed Prevacid 30mg, I hope it works. Other than that I am good. Saturday I walked three miles in about forty minutes, and did a few other fast pace things to burn calories. Some people are starting to notice, my weight loss :clap2: !   Be Blessed

Until My 3rd Fill

On 3/6/07 I started the Pre/Post diet to jump start my weight loss again. I am sick of these 13 or so pounds lingering around. So today is day two and I only had my Nectar shake for breakfast. I also took a Lipo6 so I am not hungry even at 6:48 (cst). I go for my 3rd fill on 3/20 and I really hope Dr. T will give it to me. The last time he said I didn't need one :confused_smile:! Well I know I need to drink another shake or have some broth.   Until next time...   Be blessed!   P.S. It's finally SNOWING!!!!

I feel so off when I don't post on the right day, so I will post for yesterday and today! Yesterday was great I only had one protein shake which equals about 70 grams of protein. I also ran my miles. Today I am getting ready to run and then I will have a protein shake and that's it! Until next time, Keep the Faith!

10 Days Post Opt! I can't Believe it!

Wow ten days since banded and I can't believe it!! My incisions are almost healed and they look good. My total pounds lost is about 15! I'm happy with it, but I need to see the numbers drop more. I've increased my work out on the treadmill and I will incorporate my exercise bike as well. I will hold off on my Platinum Weider until I get the ok from Dr. Madan (great doc). I am on my last week of liquids, so on Thursday I will start the puree stage! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to it and looking better than I have in a long time.   Be BLESSED!

Got My Surgery Date!

Hello Everyone,   I finally have my surgery date! It's on 1/11...so I'm cool with that, even though school starts back on 1/16. My care coordinator said they don't want me to do anything for a whole week. Well I am going to school on 1/16 regardless! I've read were other bandsters left the hospital the same day and was working out the next day. I know I will be in the hospital for two days at least which is cool, since my std kicks in that day or the next day and I won't have to use any of my vacation time. As for school...it's not up for discussion. I am so glad I chose to go ahead with this...I'm goin in my closet and pull out ALL my cute get-ups right now:heh: . Just to remind myself of the old days and to look forward to the new ones!   Be BLESSED,   Sheila :argue:
