Long time no post..I know

It's been a while since I've posted in my journal but it's been a trying few days..I got sick, my husband got sick and trying to keep up with the kids is exhausting! Any wa..everything has been good. I did have an issue with my stomach swellign from air in it..who knows how it got there but it was very painful..My "toma" swelled to the point that it was hitting my diaphragm...holy sh... was it painful. But, no worries now, everthing is back on track. I'm still walking 3-5 miles per day and I'm trying to eat the way I should. I am hungrier now though and I feel like what I eat doesn't hold me...I have an appointment on March 6 to talk about or even get a fill. I hope I can handle the hunger thiing till then. WIsh me luck!!! Smooches:kiss2: Me

I do have to say that it was very good!!!! I'm waiting for the kids to go to bed to do my excercises...It's alot easier to get a workout when you don't have two monkeys jumping on you....kids are so much fun.. I think they are the ones keeping me sane through these last few days... my hubby is still away:cry ...But, he did pick up some stuff for us from Mexico, so we'll see what he brings...I LOVE SURPRISES!!!! food: B; Atkins vanilla shake snack:: Light yoplait smoothie w/ 1 scoop whey protein lunch:: guess????? yup...a chocolate shake snack: (Skipped it) :omg: wasn't hungry dinner: chinese rice...(light soy sauce, light peanut oil, cabbage, 1 egg, onions, sesame seeds, chicken breast) YYUUMMMYYY!!!! snack:: cup of tea with some cheese adn a few crackers... hopefully 30 minutes of excercise....

excercising is fun...i swear...

I think I'm begining to love excercise. Yeah, I say that now right..No, really...I know it's not easy, I know it takes time, and I know it hurts like a bi..., but it's fun. I think its' the feeling I get now of..WOW..this is really making me feel better. I'm not saying that every bone in my body does not hurt, because let me tell you...THEY DO!!!! It's just that I know this pain is helping me get in shape. I have excercised before and never ever felt this good. I also know it has to do with the fact that now I will have a new tool to help me keep my good work off. Do you know what I mean? Now, I know that if i lose 30 or 40 pounds The Band is going to help me keep them off. The band will help me control myself...WOW!!! Enlightning... You know what I also LOVE..... The idea that now when the love of my life asks me to go bike riding...I won't have to make up an excuse not to go...If he asks me to go walking, I can now say, no baby, let's go jogging...or do you want to excercise...I can say...yeah, let's do some KICK BOXING!!!!!! I'm stoked! I'm siked! I'm estatic! I like this new me I'm starting to see....and feel....I hope many other bandsters feel the same because it's an exhilirating feeling!!! I CAN"T WAIT TILL FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 more days!!!!!!

gsd psin sucks!!!!

:faint:I have not written in a couple days, but for good reasons..I am now officially "Banded for Life". So, I am in pain....not hungry though...and in pain... I can say the sutures are not that bad. I have 4 small ones and my larger one right above my belly bottun where my port is (that's the one that hurts the most)...but this all bearable..THE ONLY THING THAT IS REALLY BEGGINING TO PIST ME OFF IS THIS FU.... GAS BUBBLE THAT IS STUCK IN MY LEFT SHOULDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It hurts so bad!!!!!! I've tried everything..My best friend even leant me her massage chair to see if it helped and nothing!!! THIS IS THE ONLY PART THAT SUCKS!! I have to be honest though. I went in to surgery expecting the worst...like a c-section maybe..but it was nothing... I've had so much crystal light that I can taste it in my sleep..and I just had about 6 ounces of atkins vanila shake..Well, going back to my sofa...I can't lay down..it's too painful yet..I LOVE TYLENOL WITH CODEINE!!!!!! I have to mention that my husband has been WONDERFUL through all this!!! HE IS JUST INCREDIBLE!!!!!!:kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: Thank YOU baby, for being here for me!!! I LOVE YA!!!!! SMOOCHES!!!!:kiss2:

January 11th...

Second day of being on this site and feeling good about becoming part of this communtiy.What better day to start a journal than today? I have a massive headache but besides that I'm doing ok.I guess my addiction to the internet (no freaky stuff!!) keeps me from goin to bed. Nervous and a little scared would describe my thoughts regarding surgery...I have my last pre-op appointment with my surgeon on 1/16 and have a few questions to ask...On 1/23 I have my pre-op testing (blood work, xray and ekg) I'm a little upset because my husband (MY ROCK) won't be able to come to these appointments with me due to travel with work...:cry but, the bright side..he'll be home the day before my surgery and will be here to pamper me for the whole week afterwards. I guess that's a plus...Well, I've taken my motrin and am off to :pray2: , have some fat free:popcorn:and watch my shows...Ugly Betty is AWESOME!!!!! :clap2:

WALK, WALK, WALK

Today was a good day...I went walking again at the mall with a friend and we did 2 miles:clap2: !! I need to loose the last 5 pounds!!! I felt great today! No dizziness!!:clap2: I started my liquid diet. I had a vanilla Atkins shake (it wasn't that bad once it's cold!!) for breakfast...A cookies and cream one for lunch (it was too sweet for me) and had a very small dinner...My biggest downfall is having to cook for my family. EVERYTHING smells so good!! You take that for granted when you can eat what you want when you want...:faint: Anyway...all is well and for a GREAT cause..ME!!!!! Tomorrow my pre-op testing!!!

So, now you know HOW MUCH the lap-band means to me... How corny is that? So, after my NIGHTMARE was over I went shopping!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I got a new MP3 player (my daughter has "misplaced" my other one somewhere in her black hole she calls it her Bedroom but you gotta wonder...:cry )... and a couple pairs of "stretchy" pants ( I usually don't use these but the MD said to due to comfort and slippage) and a sweater!!! Shopping ALWAYS makes me feel better!!! So, now I'm typing this, to then type my minutes and then of to my PTO meeting...So, needless to say it's been a VERY hectic day...:faint: ..Wait, and that's not all, we are expecting snow..Can you believe it? I had LOVED this winter until now!!! I don't like snow!!!!! Don't say it...I picked the wrong part of the country to be in (New England) ...but, then again, I hear it's not as bad as getting snow in Malibu, CA???:cry What's up with that? :crazy: :crazy:

She thinks I'm insane and that I'm gonna die from malnutrtion...Yup, typical mom!!! She doesn't seem to understand that what would of killed me was the way I was going before.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...NNNOOOOO!!!!!

You know that quote, how much do I love thee..let me count the ways...Well, for me and snow it's "how much do I loath thee...let me count the ways!!!!" YUCK!! Living in New England is like Forest Gump said..Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get!! (yes, I am a movieholic!) So on monday it was about 50 degrees, on tuesday it was about 55, on wednesday it was almost sixty and then thursday, beautiful thursday!!! ALMOST 70 degrees... How awesome. I was sure the winter was gone and it was time to get out the spring/summer clothes.:clap2: Well, that was a dream short lived:eek: !! Yup, It snowed/rained/sleeted and snowed some more on Friday ALL DAY leaving us with over a foot of snow and 2 inches of slush on the bottom. Yup, We got out the old snowblower, cursed and blowed for almost 2 hours!!! :faint: On a good note..I did get a really good workout blowing my neighbors driveway which is on a hill! So the only goodthing I gt from this St. Patrick's Day Nor'Easter was a good workout...and some GREAT pictures of my kids. OK..I vented now lets move on in hopes that Spring soon will be here...smooches!!!:kiss2:

The Art of PBing....

Ok Folks...The art of PB'ing is a complicated and painful task. First you go to your MD and get a second fill of .5 cc's to add to the 1 cc you already have. Then you take the smallest bite of food you could ever imagine..small enough for a babie's delicate mouth. You add 2 baby spoons of mashed potatoes...and voila!!!!! Instant sliming and PBing... Yup.. I finally discovered it! :faint: Painful, disgusting, unattractive and finally draining. Wow! I felt like my whole body was gonna shut down! I gotta admit I was kinda scared...and i swear it was the smallest piece of chicken... this experiece has opened my eyes and has changed my eating ways forever. When I got my first fill I could still eat a little faster but not now. I guess .5 cc does make a difference. But, for now, I guess I'm back to my liquids. Nothing wants to go down now, I guess I irritated the stoma...So, I'm waiting to see what happens..I can say this..I will be the last person to leave any table from now on!!!:kiss2:

gurgle, gurgle....

HEllo! It's slowly getting better. My liquid intake is ok. I'm so sick of Protein Drinks..The only ones I tolerate are the Carnation Instant Breakfasts and Ensure high protein. That's IT!!!! Everything else makes me gag and I really don't need to throw up right now..SO, that's what I'm doing. I can't wait to eat something else besides broth and jello...The water and Crystal light I can handle...The discomfort around teh incisions isn't too bad...but teh gas is a whole DIFFERENT Story...WOW!!!! I spent 2 days in tears adn questioning my decision to do this... IT was soooooooo bad, but it's subsiding adn getting better...That's my only complaint so far... I'm walking again..Today I did 1.6 miles, It wore me out but the MD said that it was normal.. so little by little it's getting better...THANK GOD!!!! I've lost 7 LBS SINCE THE SURGERY!!!! A little scary but good. We'll see how it goes...I'm glad I have this site to come and talk and write and learn and maybe even teach my experiences....This too shall pass......smooches....:kiss2:

I've lived in this state for 26 years and I still can't get used to it...I wasn't born here but have lived here most of my life.. I love the change of the seasons and all that jazz, but the winter just bugs me.. I know, I shouldn't complain because we have had a very mild winter this year...but something about knowing we are supposed to get ALOT of snow just irritates me...anyway...I've vented and now moving on!!! I walked 4.5 miles today!!!!!I an a certified mall walker now!!! I tried to get as much walking in because I do not drive in the snow..Yes, I am chicken due to an accident I had 2 years ago...long story, short outcome I DON"T DRIVE IN THE SNOW!!! Meals for today: B: 1 piece of toast w/ PB and honey 8 oz of hot tea L: 1/2 cupchicken salad (chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers light mayo) 8 oz light and healthy orange juice S: banana cream pie yogurt 6 oz crystal light d: don't know yet.... s: maybe, maybe not...

All natural foods not so bad....

Long time no post...Reason, no weight loss and very busy. Yup. A little frustrated on the no weight losss but pretty excited about the NO WEIGHT gain!!!! Yeah it sounds weird but it's true. I am very excited about another thing. I found a few new snack that are great tasting as well as healthy and full of productive calories not empty ones. My husband and I found Whole Food's Supermarkets. Ok, I would of never went into this place a few months back because it just didn't interest me. plus, I never understood what it was about. Well, guess what... I love it now!!!! i found some Soy rice cakes, some honey roasted soy nuts, dried/baked veggies that really taste yummy. Even my kids loved it. I am so pleased that my kids loved it because no we can all enjoy a healthier lifestyle together!!! I also went to Trader Joe's (also another supermarket) and found some dried fruits and fruit snack that taste like fruit roll ups and only 70 calories!!!! HOLY SH... I can fill my sweet tooth!!!! So a heads up to all those sweet tooths out there...there are other healthier and "allowed" sweets out there, we just need to look for them in the right place!!!!!
