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!

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

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

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 hope everything is going well with everyone....until next time, type ya later.       Be BLESSED!

No Dinner, Exercise or Class!

Well yesterday for lunch I had a grill chicken philly and I only ate the thin sliced chicken with the melted cheese and a little lettuce and I was done for the day! I was miserable...I had trapped gas or something. Even though the chicken was thin I still chewed and chewed. I didn't eat any dinner and to think about it I didn't have any breakfast. So I didn't feel like working out or going to my boring class. I went to church and I actually felt a little better. I took to Mylanta gas tablets and those things will get the gas out!! I don't like them that much, because the make me gag. Once I gag I burp...but afterwards I feel a LOT better. So this morning I am feeling normal, I will not have a grill chicken philly again. Today I will make sure I take it easy on the food, I will eat soft foods today. Be blessed!

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:
