Good Morning 203!

I hate to think what the cleaning people in my office think when emptying my garbage.... at times I find I have to PB (is that it) in my garbage can... as gross as this sounds, and I know it's TMI, I just have to get that "slime" up out of my throat.... very little food comes up, just a bunch of nasty slime... I'm sure this is the lubricant trying to get the food all the way down to my stomache. So this morning I ate a boiled egg and a few slices of bacon in the car on my 45 minute drive to work... I was fine... then I got to my desk and started to feel it and had to PB.... or is it PM... whatever, I had to do it....   So I'm down to 203! closer and Closer to breaking 200! Oh Praise the LORD!   Gotta work now so latas :mad2: Desi:rolleyes2:

I'm so CLOSE to Onederville I can taste it!!!!! I love my scale... I get on and it says 188 then jumps to 201.6~ Don't know exactly what that means, but I'm happy... And this is after a totally terrific FIGHT NIGHT *UFC* I think as I keep being social my esteem edges me on to keep workin the band and with this I'm losing:redface: I LOVE THIS! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Four Months Really???

It's actually been four months since my initial consult with Dr. McCoglan and today it was my honor to meet the Dr. who would be doing the cutting: Dr. Carson Liu. He answered my every question and I felt so much peace. I'm excited about my lapband and can't wait till insurance gives me the green light. My friend Andrea got her okay yesterday....YAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Andrea is a sweetheart and I'm glad she held on a little longer. I so can't wait to see our transformations. Today it was also my honor to meet Holly. Holly had the procedure in August and she answered so many questions and even let me see her scars (what scars) and feel her port. I'm so very excited to get this done. Another thing going well is things at my work. I believe me and my manager have come to an understanding. This is not a vanity thing for me. This is all about being healthy and re-gaining my life. I'm happy in all aspects.... Now if I can only get my love life together LOL:p

Food for thought today

The beans and cheese I made last night gave me terrible gas and I was burping up nastiness and had to sleep practically sitting up last night. I know the band is tight and maybe a little swollen from my fill five days ago. I feel is... I mean it feels like a little cramp right below my boobies. I pureed the Chicken vegetable soup I made... yummo has lots of protein and spinich, broccoli, leek, potato... I'm eating softees for a few days so my band will calm down. I've also got a big glass full of ice on my desk. I hope to get down more water today... a few more bites of this soup and I'm done... I try to space them out two minutes to let the food go down. I'm done after 15 minutes Have a great day!

Fill after a lOOOOONG drought

Finally had my third fill at Dr. Liu's office Was able to meet some really nice and cool people in the waiting room. Dad was so sweet... see this morning I tried to eat a bean and cheese burrito from taco bell, knowing damn well my body doesn't like flour tortillas anymore LOL... well as I'm getting off the car slim everywhere in the driveway... I guess dad was grossed out and worried about his little princess because he insisted on driving with me to Orange. I'm glad he did, it's always nice having his moral support, and Daddy is my favorite man in the world... he was so hungry and we were there for hours! I made it up to him by buying him a nice lunch at Portillos. Me? Well I'm on liquids for two days... I want to try for three, but hey no promises here LOL. I did tell Andre that I don't want to go out tonight... I want to see him, but I'm afraid on liquids... I may be a little bitchy LOL... funny thing is we were just talking on the phone and I kept having to beltch LOL all I've had... since the few bites of that burrito... is water, a little grape juice.. a little lemonade... and chicken broth.... I'm determined.... I'll be cool tonight with just the liquids... then tomorrow I'll up it with some Protein nectar... still liquids.. I so would like to believe that even I can do all liquids on Saturday, but hey I'm going to a theater and dinner event... well I won't be eating much if anything at all. Docs said we're gonna get this next 50 lobs off and gave me an UBER FILL! I'm holding them to it! I'm also holding myself to it and I'm starting from scratch and gonna keep hitting CURVES like a banshee LOL WhooooHOOO!

Dr. McDreamy!!!

Dr. Linder is absolutely WONDERFUL! My consult was fabulous and I feel totally comfortable with him being my PS! Showing my belly and lower pouch was kinda embaressing, but we're trying to get insurance to cover... without insurance it's $18,000.:thumbup: I need an extensive tt with no muscle tightening. so I have a lot of homework to do... I need documentation of my rashes and back pain and letters from Dr. Liu and a few other doctors. I'm so excited... I'm looking at $7,000 if insurance cooperates. I'm praying for God's favor

Day Two Liquids

Yesterday after my fill was alright, but I got a maddening headache and didn't get rid of it until this morning... I'm still on liquids. Of course I have my tomato soup but know what? I wanna chew on something badly LOL! Went to Big Lots with Sam on our lunch break and I bought a little food processor... starting tomorrow i'm on soft foods... so it's puree time! They had a lot of Nutrisystem stuff! :biggrin:Sam and I are very supportive of our goals to continue to lose. She's almost ready to have her reconstructive surgery... I'm hot on her hills, but totally wanna drop another 50 before I even entertain the idea of going under again... My goal for today?:tgif: Drink water and get through the rest of the day without chewing LOL! I'll make it.. I'm a little dawncy so I may skip Curves this afternoon, go home and veg and write in my journal. Tomorrow's a brand new day!:w00t:

Count Down

Well... two more days and I'll be banded I'm very excited, and a little bit of nerves are set in... I had to do a fleet cleanse this morning. That stuff is so nasty...it's 1.5 ounce in 12 ounces of Apple Juice... but know what? I couldn't even taste the apple juice! The fleet was soooooo overwelming....It's working though because I'm going every 15-20 minutes. This weekend is crazy. My Aunt RD passed last Saturday and today's her funeral. As much as I want to spend time with my family, I'm only able to go to the funeral then get back home so I'm close to the john. I also need to get my apartment a little spruced up... my friend Sue is baby sitting me the first three days, she had a gastro bypass two years ago so she sorta knows what I'm going through... I'm nervous about the IV and coming out of the anestesia, but I know God's not done with me yet, and I'll come through the surgery with flying colors I'm looking forward to a week away from the office and possibly catching Gerard Butler's new movie...he is sooooooooo hot! He has a new movie called 300, y'all go see it... I'll catch up with you later this evening. Huggs and Kisses, Desi

whooo I gotta catch up... been lazy with updates lately... On Oct 25th I was at 208.7 Oct 27: 211 Oct 29: 210.5 I had my adjustment this day. Following my adjustment I caught terrible flu symptoms and started my period... I just felt like YUCK! Stress also didn't help and I was dealing with money issues.... Today is November 8th and I'm down to 204.1   I haven't been eating a great deal... I'm a bit tight :huh2: I need to find a way to stress less and stay on track.:smile2:

Attempting a Protein Day

Today, I'm attempting to do protein nectar all day with water.... I'm still fluctuating and haven't dropped below 200 and it's frustrating. This may be a good thing, because I'm broke and protein is about all I have lol.... So I'm gonna finish this cup on my desk and then have another for lunch and go out to my car and chill..... We'll see how this goes:unsure:

Arggh!

Today was so stressful....I went to see Dr. Liu, not aticipating that my appointment had been cancelled.... This week has been difficult with the "Maniac" questioning how much time I've been taking off for my doctor's visits. If you have a good superviser, treasure them and if you have one like mine....:faint: I hav to scramble this week and have loads of tests done so I can still have my surgery mid January...just a little stressed now, but eventually I'll be able to exhale:clap2:
