Not Even Middle Road

It's been about 6 months since my lap band, and I'm still kicking LOL. I'm very happy with my decision as I feel tons better and see some beautiful curves :mad: The things I'm noticing that I'm not too happy is my hair is shedding.... :crythat means I'm not getting in as much protein as I need. Bad ME!!:eek: So today I'm gonna change my ways... so far today I had 26 g of protein via Protein Nectar's Fuzzy Navel drink. Two more of those today and I've hit my 60 grams per day... I'll be tooo happy!:whoo: I also bout liquid multi vitamins, I'm not too happy with the chewable.... I've been taking the Centrium chewables and they are not that tasty after all....:eek: I'm still watching a lot of the FOOD network LOL:madgrin: Hey I also found out yesterday one of my FAVORITE singers in the WORLD!!! Ann Wilson had the Lap Band! Ann has been such an inspiration in so many other ways as sucha strong independent woman to me. I love Hart and she has such a talent. Cheers to you all!:hungry: Love, Desi

No weight change today

I had a difficult night last night.... I had some milk about an hour before bed and I kept coughing it up. I was so afraid of choking on it.... No more eating or drinking three hours before bed for me

My first fill is coming up

I re visit Dr. Liu on the 13th and get my first fill....I'm super excited, my friend Andrea is getting her second on the same day   I also had my first whistle in a lOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng time the other day. I was wearing some cute sweat pants with a butterfly tattoo along the butt and walked past this cute guy and he whistled That was nice.   I also start Hip Hop Abs on Monday....seems interesting   For my birthday I would like to get a tattoo....I'm finding other ways of rewarding myself instead of food.   God is sooooooooooooooo Good and I want to wish you all a very Happy Easter. For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotten son. So that whomsoever believeth in Him shall have life and more everlasting.   Give your life to Jesus- You won't regret it! :biggrin1: I don't   Love, Desi

Lookin' Good

I learned an important thing and it's to not think in pounds, but in inches! You see in pounds, I've lost a little over 20 pounds but honey child in inches!!!? I'm down 4 dress sizes since my surgery... I've also lost about 4 inches from my waist, 3 from my hips and 2 from the twins! I'm so happy, but I'm not gonna lie.. I need to push myself harder. I need the support of this board and I need to step this up.

It's Overcast out today...

I have a lot more planning for my surgery today. I have so much inspiration and ideas from Lapbandtalk.com members. My friend Sue is just so awsome. She knows how scared I am because I'm doing this by myself. :cry She's gonna take care of me after my surgery and she is so dear to my heart. She had the bypass surgery last year. My other friend Andrea is so awsome too, she is having the same surgery with Dr. Liu and said she'll take me to the appointment. I can't thank the Rogers enough. I met them yesterday when I had my appointment fiasco-- What a sweet kind mother and daughter:love: . I wish my mom was so here for me like that Well.....gotta jet Desi

It's August 22nd already :)

Glad I got my fill yesterday.:tt2: Boy was I ready! As my wieght was dipping towrards 210 in the last few weeks it's been jumping up and when I had my fill yesterday I was 216.5:bored:.... This morning I am 214.4! I also found a way to tolerate the Protein Juice's Lemon Tea flavor:confused_smile:... I mixed it with lite lemon time... so much more tolerable.:w00t: Something scary did happen yesterday when I went in... I was told I had a $15,000 balance and how much was I putting towards it before my fill:eek:... I was like HUH? It was all a clerical error, and they had me as a cash client instead of insurance... whew! No strange side effects after the fill, but this morning I am taking in a serving of protien drink and I have a slight headache... other than that all is good:biggrin2:

It only took a little heartbreak....

It only took a little heartbreak for me to break my plateau. Let me see... I was scammed on an online date site (NEVER AGAIN!) had my heart and dreams crushed by an imposter... finances out the window and lost over 5 lbs in 4 days! Not something I want to continue to do, but Wow Huh!? Today's weight is 224.5

I'm Venting Y'all

I’m writing this because I don’t believe I have ever been this frustrated in my entire life. I have been through so much bull shit in between doctor’s visits and dealing with my insurance and I’m sorry if I offend anyone, but I truly need to vent. I’m obese! Dammit I’m over 100 lbs over weight and this is simply bullshit! I’ve been through so many pre testing…I’ve paid at least 3 grand in having doctors see me naked and examine me for this surgery…only to have my paperwork not reach my insurance… my insurance to say it’ll take a good 30 days for me to be approved and my doctor’s office to be waiting….. mean while, my ass is getting sick and fucking tired of all this drama! I hate that I cry more than anything out of anxiety over this surgery…I don’t feel any closer today than I did back in August when I was sent to a doctor who didn’t even do the lap band procedure! I’m frustrated beyond frustration and I STILL have to put on a pretty face and work today! I think that J doesn’t want to have anything to do with me because he hasn’t called me, and I don’t think he even cares…maybe I’m too fat for him? Duh…maybe I am, I know I hate what I see in the mirror! Ardith was right, people treat you so much different when you’re larger…I’m tired of being overlooked and ignored…I’m through with the men who want to be “friends” because they’re scared of being in a relationship with a fat girl. I’m no less likely loveable because of the extra flesh on my frame. I’m a human being…I’ve got feelings and why am I caring about Jeff when he obviously doesn’t give a rats ass about my big fat ass!? Can’t buy love Desiree, I could have sent dozens of care packages to his ass in Iraq and that wouldn’t change the fact that he used me and my kindness and I was a gullable stupid girl still searching for acceptance in others. When will I learn to crave that acceptance from myself. I know I’m venting, but am I really prepared for this surgery? I have a lot to think about…:angry

Good Morning 221.7!

UNBELIEVABLE!   I'm thrilled about the wieghtloss. I've been watching my food intake... the bummer is that I don't think I'm getting my water all in... I mean I am TIGHT I can take sips at a time and I can still feel the tightness of the band around my stomache so there must still be some swelling... Praise the Lord! he fights all my battles and with Him I know this too will be another mountain that will be conquered. My goal is to hit my two-teens by weekend!!! WhooHOOOOO!

Good Morning 219.7!!!

Wow 219!!!! A welcoming number, now I'm finally in the two-teens!!!   Had trouble drinking water again last night and coughed up water while trying to sleep gain.... tight adjustment....   Will try tonight to not eat or drink three-four hours before sleep.. so most likely I'll probably just drink a protein shake before I leave the office at five... let you know how it goes... need to go to curves so I don't know.....

Good Morning 218.9!

I'm a little on the tired side.... I know this is not very good and I need to seriously take my vitamins... I'm naughty about that. If I was to self "doctor" myself, I would say my iron might be low....   Still I'm down 11 lbs from a week ago, not bad huh?   I slept a little better last nigh not too many episodes with the coughing up of residual food... I even think I took in more water yesterday. My skin is snapping back, so I'm not dehydrated thank God.   I have a serious craving for Watermelon, so I think I'll swing by Vons this morning and get some for breakfast yumoh!:w00t:

Good Morning 217.4

I slept so much better last night! I think what helped is I stayed up later... I went to bed around midnight after staying up to watch wrestling... I know I'm wierd LOL... I had a little burp this morning that woke me up, but nothing with the up chuck... I have to get rid of this cough... I caught a friends cold a few weeks ago and this caugh is trying to take up residence in my body and I'm just not having it LOL.... I am feeling very lonely... I know that things with Dave were a farced and he took advantage ofme wether he wants to believe it or not.... I haven't talked to Andre in days and Joel? Well.... I think it's fair to say he's not interested. Isn't that funny.... three guys were after me and now they've fallen off the face of the earth it seems.... maybe I just need to go this alone and if Mr. Him comes along he does.... it just sucks not having someone to share my life with.... but no PITY PARTIES here! I mean I'm at 217.4 Baby!!!!:w00t:
