3 Years later and doing great "I Think"

3 years and 1 month ago on this date I had my Mexican experience in Tijuanna with Dr Corvola and i weighed over 330lbs. Today, I think I am like 210lbs but I have and continue to have many failures and learning experiences. Like, I am back to NO SUGARS, they are the enemy no doubt. And, I am back in the gym more than 4 days a week and I am so scared to allow any indulgence that its sick. I want so much but I allow nothing and I like it like that for now. I a, insistant to get under 200 and the sooner the better. All by the Grace of God and the discipline of a bandster. Happy Thanksgiving.:cool2:

277 and holding

Not much to say Today except - I still LOVE my band, however I am concerned. My G-Daughter elbowed me while climbing and I can feel that my band moved and sank into my cavity. I am planning a review by the Dr some time very soon hoefully. Finance is always an issue with me but I want to feel good about everything. I still have restriction and the band is working but I fear it maybe slipping, I pray it is not and in the meantime I stay optimistic and wait till probly Feb for a trip to the Dr. 320/277/210

26 days since surgery

Good Morning and Yes, I still LOVE MY BAND . I have spent all week practicing eating ONLY what I think will not get stuck and I am/was successfull. I feel like I am running on 100% health and no pain anywhere. Looking back over the past days I can honestly say that I have been blessed by good fortune and no complications other than those I created myself.   315/288/210

2007

Still loving my band and I think it is educating me now. I am still where I was before the new year, but through all and all I am pleased casue I did gain and then lost again so thats OK. As I begin the new year I can say that without a hot drink prior to eating I am wrong cause I know I will have trouble like food rejection. I also am beginning to feel that I am grazing even though I try not to, I do (work in progress to fix). I am also finding that my g-kids are targeting my band cause everytime without fail they seem to elbow the band when climbing on me of course that just makes me more protective now of this happening. My new immediate goal is going to be to get on track with eating on time and just 2 times a day with a snack before bedtime. It never fails that when I eat say chicken for lunch I cannot get supper down and thats not good, my head wants to eat in the evening (sometimes at all cost) . I am healthy and improvements are minimal but progressive and as long as I am winning I feel successfull and thats all good.

2 Years Later and 145lbs lost

I Love my Band STILL! The journey is in motion and I think I am doing fine but its just the nature of me that is aways wanting more :incazzato:. Like now I really want to be 175lbs and I am having a fit over being stuck right now at 205 give or take a pound. I have lost all interest in the gym and my eating habits are beginning to suck but not really I am just eating more and uglyier food than I know I need to. AND, the holiday sare here and I do not want to miss the excellent items that are on the table this time of the year :banghead:, yeaHHHHHHHH. I continue to thank God for keeping me healthy and my band in excellent working order to date so I am blessed, yet I want MOREEEEEEE:cry_smile:. Chocolate is still my greatest weakness but I suspect this is just the way it is and I accept it but I know I gotta do better to be better. Choices - Choices - Choices, I really liked it better when the band was making my choices and saying NO to everything that wasn't warm and soupy :willy_nilly:.

1st Monday back to work after surgery

My day started with about 2 oz coffee and a couple of oz of chicken broth then off to work. in the am I consumed 1 sm can of apple juice and 1 (3.25 oz jello). At lunch time I ate 3 to 4 oz chicken broth then after lunch till 5pm I consumed a 20oz Lemonade Gatorade (I think it was too much cause I began to feel a little bad). It is now almost time to go home and I am feeling some what weak and like I over did the day, what ever that means. In the course of this day I have walked my regular steps probly around 2 miles all together. Looking forward to leaving and getting home.:nervous

19 Days after Surgery

:angry Awwwwwwweeeeeee it HURTS and I cannot make it stop. Life has been reall good all the way till Saturday and forwhatever reason I now have pain in my left side almost under the rib cage. After reading all the threads of this thype of pain I am back on TOTAL liquids as of this moment and then I will decide if there is something more to this pain. I contacted my c0-ordinator and she tells me she will forard to Dr but I suspect there is nothing that could be done at this time according to the threads. No doubt I hate the pain but I may have caused it not staying on liquids exclussively so now I am and well see if the pain leaves. In the meantime - AAwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeee it hurts, and I want it to stop.

1 Month and 2 Days after surgery (Thanksgiving Week)

Yes - Life is great even though I have gained 2 lbs. Still having trouble sometimes trying to take to big a bites from food occassionaly causing some slim and a couple of golf balls but still learning. My NEW goal is to re-start my 3 times a day eating and 1 snack before bedtime and including alot more chicken instead of JUNK. Fish was a great addition before the holidays and maybe I will return to that but I do have a problem with the butter (I Love It) and thats not good so I will try that I can't believe its not butter stuff and we'll see. 315/290/210
