My Frist Fill

down 30 lbs since surgery The dr asked me what i could eat I told him i could eat what ever i wanted but was eating about a 1/2 a cup 5 or 6 times a day and was hungry. He said he wanted to start off with a small fill 1 cc in my 10 cc band He gave me some water after he was done and told me to drink it fast, I thought this was funny since in the hospital he was telling me to drink slow since i puked right up on him as soon as i got to protine shake, I laughed and said to him your telling me to drink fast last time you know what happened he laughed and said good point i be on the other side of the room, I drank it nothing happend,   I had my nurtion vist who taught us how to live the rest of our lives. She said saying your never going to eat bad food again is silly you just need to be prepared for the times it dose happen. She said no more protine shakes I said I relly liked them in the morning they fast easy tast good and filling and i add stuff to mine, She said okay.   I have to go back to lquids for 3 days then mushies for 3 days then it onto the rest of my life, Next fill wil be september     I had some problem when i drink too much protine shake i vomit up alot i thinking this may just take some time i can drink water fine and i had some apple saus as a snack no problem It just the huge protine shakes i make so i need to learn my limit

My Dr Goal

When i walked into BIDMC i was told that i would probley land at 190. At 249 lbs that seemed like a dreem. Well i am happy to report that i have hit that goal. I emailed Kate my nurstionist the picuter of the scale this morning ( note to self get cute pedicure you earned it) But it more than the scale it about life being active doing things i only dreemed of in april.     I have a masterbed room on the 3rd floor of my house. we have the most amazing view we over look a pond and it is stunning form the 3 floor master bedroom. I was never able to uses it Now not only do i use it but i run those stairs and sometimes during comershials just for fun.   I was not able to do zumba i never made it past 10 mins with out losing my breath. Today I teach zumba and it has change my life. I love it not a day goes by where my love to dance dose not come back and i think about how lucky i am     In april i had a dog walker because i could not walk my dog the full walk she wanted. Now i walk her my self at least 2 miles every day. Yes my favorite coffee shop is on the way to the dog park and i do get my coffee with skim milk and spends that i enjoy at the dog park. I love to walk. and i love walking in pretty places     In april my kids used to always say mama will you play with us and i would get out of breath very easy. Land up stooping now my kids and i play every day. They have a game were i am dragon and i chance them and they have safe places on the playequemnit in are back yard. Evey day I hear form my kids how much they love the new me.   In April i had size 24 jeans a few 22 that were way tight today i were a 14/12 I can shop any were i want i have a list of new stores i only deemed of walking into and now i have things form them i love my new cute outfits everything is so great.to have cloths in normal size when ever i feel sad i look at all my cute stuff and feel happy again. I love white house black market banana republic, the loft anne Taylor and more. Such a change from Lane Bryant ,   In April i only dreamed of horse back riding now i take lesson every week with my four year old and we all love it I could have never done that before I was past the weight limit.   I fell very lucky. I was given a great gift and i have a great team. I love the new me. Thank you all my friends and family and most of all the team at BIDMC and Dr Jones your the best i could never done it with out you

Mile Stones

I had an appointment for a fill yesterday I am 163.7 Not bad i am about 13.7 away from my goal of 150. He commuted on my great ab mussel he said he could feel them the problem was that they were covered up with alot of skin and said it time to talk about plastic. He said normal he waits one full year but in my case since i am so active he did not think he had too. My main probelm is my upper arms the skin rubs every time i move my arms and is very ichy and i have a nice little rash. It gets worst when i sweet so i would relly like to have my arms done.   I am going to Fl for 3 weeks in Jan and I just relized i have no summer cloths my shorts were a 14/16 along with my swim suits and now i am a 8/10/12. I guess i have to go shopping down there and pick up a few pair of shorts.   I have now lost 75% of my exess weight he said the last 25% will be the hardest he said that alot of it is Skin and till that remove it might be hard. I landed up with a fill. I also saw the great fellow who took care of me in July when i got too tight because of kindeny infection and then prolapsed my band. She said I gave her a very interesting first week . She also commited on my port sticking out now so it not hard to find when she last got it she had to go under floro to find my ports she said nope now you so skinny i don't have to even look for it.   I also found my hip bone. This is huge I was laying on my side and i felt the bone I had no idea what it was but then relized it was bone.   I look at how my life has changed I could not walk up my own stairs in April and now I teach Zumba and I work out all the time. I have a new creeer as a personal trainer / group exercise teacher and I would never been able to do any of this with out my band. I love my band and I am very thankful for this chance to live my life.

It Is Okay

I grew up in a family when you finshed what you had on your plate taking food home was a sing of weekness. Also if you wanted seconds you better eat fast becuse it will be gone before you know it you snoze you loze. As a grew up and would have fights with my family it would always end the same way someone saying there sorry with food. I am sorry let me make it up to you by lunch, a sunday ect.   Today i had high protine lactose free yougest for bresfest after i took all my lquid med i could only get 3 oz down my frist thought was oh no i spent money on this food I have to eat it. My next thought was this is what got you here in the frist place no one is holding a gun to my head saying eat it and it okay to say No I am full relly i am and thow it away. This was a huge brake though for me. I did not need the whole thing i was fine with my 3 oz and being done becuse i was done and i needed to listen to what my body was telling me not my head. I needed to trun that peice off and relly listen to my boady

If You Can Dream It You Can Do It

I have deit and excized i go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week i try and watch what i eat nothing. I know how i got hear but i also konw that nothing else was working. I had hip pain all the time back pain and knee pain it get in the way of what you want to do when it hurts to walk up the stairs becuse you hip and kneese hurt to do it it makes you want to do less. I was one poit away from being debitic i had high blood prusser took meds for it I sleep with a sleep apena michen and i had acid reflex that i could not control.   I also had lost 2 freinds this year to Obsety realted illiness they both had massive heart attacks and they were in there 40's and early 50's. I did not want to be like that I want to live for were i can do things. I dream of camping with my kids but when you bigger it not possble to do these things. I wanted to walk up the stairs with out stopping to catch my breath and thinking about my knees and hips. So yes this is extreamIt not for everyone but it is for me. I need the control I get with my band In a little over 2 weeks i lost 21.5 lbs and just that 20 lbs make my hip not hurt when i walk up the stairs I can walk up a full fight with out stopping to catch my breath.   I know i can get my dreams of being heathy again and reclaming the me I want to be Thats why i did this

I still a have a life

I do alot of work with weight loss surgery pepole. I teach a zumba class just for pre and post opt. But one of the things that make me the saddest to hear is that they stopped liveing. They will not go somewhere with food is invoked. This just make me so sad. So how do i handle this. I like to point out some different ways.   1, What is the point of the get together   So when i want to hang out with freinds i used to say hay lets go for ice cream or hay lets go for lunch. Now i might say want to join me for a walk. Or it a nice day lets go for a swim .   Sometime we forget what the point of the event is and we get so caught up in what were going to eat that we forget what the point is. So back yard barbeque. what is the point to have fun with friends. That the frist thing i do is make sure i know the point before i even start out . I alway offfer to bring something. Most of the time it something tha i know i can have and will be good for me. Also drink right before you go. this give you 30 mins to play with. In this 30 min you walk around and make your game plan. If there is one thing that i relly relly must have that i know i will be okay with . I will pick that thing and have a small amount. Also the size of your plate. I always try and take small plates .   Just because you have your band dose not mean you need to stop living. I call April 23 2012 the day i started living. But if i look back on it I did not start living untill i relly let go of all the food fears and started making it my life style and not just some crazy deit plan. We all know deit do not work. Deit all about not letting your self have something this needs to be a life style

I Did It

My uncle Mal died on Tueday. I was never close with him but i needed to go to his funrnal for my father. After in the Jewish religon we do something call stitting shiva pepole sit and rember the love one snd food is seved and others bring tons and tons and tons of food. This could be a bandest nightmer. the furit basket have stared to come somehow they become less fruit and more choclet and cookies all the stuff i would have gone right for. Then to make the whole thing better my faimly was there. I not great freinds whith very meny of them my 1st coisens are 15 to 20 years older then me and still look at me as the chubby kid in the family who eat becuse she sad, upset. lonely I am the only one who is bigger in the family.i looked around to see what i could eat there it was protine lots of it chicken salda and little tiny roll ups that when you un rolled with out the bred was the perfect size for me and i knew if i sat long enough i could chew it and i had tryed cold cuts at my house and had no problem. My cosin who have no idea what i did said to me why are you on a starvation deit don't you want the cookies cakes ect. I keeped a bottle of watter in my hands during all the cookies and cakes knowing i can not eat and drink at the same time. Finley my mom bulrted out Laura on a helthy kick she had Weight Loss Sugery she even truned down food from me lately. Then led to a bunch of question how long do i plan to do this ect ect. After my fear that i might lose my band on monday night i was not messing it up I need the band I also need those size 16 paints i have now and all those cookies and cakes will only lead to me being bigger and i don't want that. One family member was so taken with me she said she wanted it but did not want to give up things. I told her if your not willing to change your life and your relationship with food and work on this evey day then this would not be the right choice for you. This is only a tool and it will only work if you work the program right not if your going to screw with it

head hunger vers real hunger

I am in the green now. I know it because i telly do not get gummy hungery. I do get physical hunger when i do not feell well and my body is telling me look you used your fuel now you need to fuel me so we can keep going. This happens alot in the gym i try and make sure i have something every 3 hours if it even just a protine shake with water. I always keep 2 or 3 packs of necter protein in my puurs then all i need is my blender cup i always keep one in my puruse and water and i am good to go.   but just because i do not get growl hunger dose not mean i do not have head hunger. So how do i deal with it and how do i tell the diference. Well am i hungery enough to eat a plate of steamed veggies. For me thats not something to i would never eat but it not something that would be a first choice . If the answer is yes then it okay for me to eat again If now I then go though my cheek list   Laura mental cheek list for head hunger   1. cheek make sure it head hunger   2. Once we made sure it head huger ask why do i want to eat what is the trigger.   - am i sad -- how can i make my self happy with out food   - am i bord - what can i do to make my self less bord   `` am i upset - how else can i blow off steam that dose not enovlove   3. It a relly bad bad craving i must have it   I use the tick on a scale of 1 to 10 were is it. If it under a seven i go back to my cheek list and try to find the trigger and the non food answer. Some time i have to do this 3 or 4 times till i get my aswer this is enough time to drink water so i have 30 min to figger it out     The craving is over 7 well then I say okay You know what it okay it not an every day Evey moment thing. what do i rely want. I take my faviort sin cup cake. Do i relly want a whole cup cake or do i just want part ie frosting or cake. Can i get the same thing for smaller amounts If i eat a minnie cupcake vris a large cupcake. I want a sunday okay that fine how can i get my Sunday for less can i use suger free ice cream 1//2 fuirt fat free cool wip 2 table spon of sugar free syrup. I still have my Sunday i still have my tast   I also write down the question and aswer make sure to goo back and look at them when your not craving so you can at the moment help your self know what to do.   It took me a long time to get these tool so i thought i share

Head Hunger

There nothing worst the getting unfilled on Juily 4 So i thought. Nothing worst then have my dr fellow stick me four times with a neadle and then say i just did not place this port and can't feel the edges so it very hard. I thought have an florcepy to be unbanded was band then haveing endocpepy to be fixed was alsp bad.   But now I am stuck in hunger land. I am back of Lquids for the next week and half but who counting. The worst part of the huger is not the hunger i feel. It the head hunger the hunger to eat something in my head. It became a thought of mine at all times I see food ad on TV and then i want that. I drive by a place and can smell the food and want that. I made a list of all the food i going to eat once i am better enough to not be on lquids.   I know it all in my head and this is the worst part. It like when i did pre opt deit all i would dream about food roast chicken I just wish i had an easyer time. I guess it good that I was able to save my band but God i would kill for an egg roll just one bit. I find that i can't do normal stuff becuse i am just too tempted right now to do the worng thing.

Hard work pepole thats all it was

Don't you just love the douter?? the one who say "it a cheet you would have lost anyways" Gosh pepole to the researcher it not a cheat it hard work.   Okay so i was selected form 1000 to the 25 to the Zumba informal I mean after all no one love Zumba more then me. So here i was being interviewed and she tell me to turn of the carama. And said Do you really think it was zumba and not the band that changed you. You would have loosed just sitting on the couch after all you have a band. I wish it were that easy,   So here my reprocess se " do you research 80 % of all people who have weight loss surgery gain it back. I can eat around my band if i want to my it might recerct me in some ways but in other it gives me a lot of freedom. The band is a tool you get out of it what you put into it. I put every thing i have into it and right when i done i think i have nothing more to give I give it a little more. I did not and will throw in the towel I just use it to wipe up the sweet and keep going. Right when i think I can't give any more to this I always find just a little bit more some were. This is Hard work Hard Hard work .I need to be strong not only physically but mental too. To do what have done changed my life from sitting on a couch to teaching Zumba, Spin, body pump, cross fit The gym i work at I have a waiting list of people who want me to be there trainer so i can do what i did to my self to them. Some day I wish I did not have to work so hard and could sitt on a in an office some were an a coshie chair must be nice huh ? So the answer is it a not a cheat it is detraction demonstration and given it all i got and Just a little more .     So i found my self a good zumba class and let it getaway from me becuse something about the music alway makes me feel better

Thinking about things diffently   So i put down my goals and I was told to think of it like this what can i do today what can i do in two week what can i do in a mouth   So for example I want to be a size 10 yes 10 I am a 14.   1. write down everythin i eat and drink   2. try and adovid head hunger cravings   3. reach for support make sure i go to all my OA meeting and Weight watchers no matter what.     Goal 2 was to become a zumba instruter   1. Get cerferfied - I did this today   2. Work on getting my club to let me sub   3. Woek on my zumba danceing rutines so i can do them no matter what     Goal 3 Get skinny jeans   1. Look for skinny jeans in size 14 with out makeing my self feel bad about how i look   2. watch what i eat better by writing it all down   3. make sure i go to the gym to all my work out with out skipping     Goal 4 work on Abs   1. Go to abs class   2. Get new trainer who will help me with goal   3. Not stopping just becuse i am being lazy and feeling my abs       Goal 5 sround my self with pepole who are supportive   1. Goal one get rid of old trainer who will not change and was never supportive of me undergoing WLS to one who will work with me and understand how my body is changing and will be supportive of this and not say i should have tryed anything else. - ( I think i done this as I have found someone I love and told the old one it time to leave just have to get paper work done to switch over)     2. Make sure that pepole who know are not jellous of my succcess and relizese how hard i worked to get were i am and How hard i must work to stay were i am   3, Weed out pepole who call me a cheet or other names ( be more fussy who i tell)     So thats my goal setting for today

feeling sexy

This might sound vain so I am sorry if it bugs any one. So i now work in the fitness field a field of young 20's something so older but I have to compete with them every day for my job.   But it hard to feel sexy when thing jiggle. Let me give you an example the under arm skin will never tight up no matter how much under arm work i do. I teach a toning class and I always say this is for your under arms so you don't get the jiggles. After one class a women cam up to me and said you need to practice what you teach your under arms are the most jiggley of all. I said Yes but that is why you do this now so you do not need to lose over 175 lbs and have extra skin i said once the skin is there it not going any wear.   My bra can't fit i trued ton of different styles but my skin folds are tight were a bra cuts and i puff out over it. I feel so unsexy wearing a bar 99% i wear sports bra becuse they seem to be high cut.   It hard to feel sexy when you lose an jiggly i know it like a badge of honor but gosh i want to feel sexy. I don't I feel like i have to hide parts because i am not sexy things i wish i did not have to.   I been thinking about this for a long time it always been because i work in this field that why i want plastic surgery and then I said that not the right reason.   So i find my self saying if i did not work in the fitness field would i feel sexy. The answer is no. I would not I feel sick that i can't find a Bra in any store. I feel sick when i want to put on something sexy for me and my lower abs sticks out and jingles. I feel unsexy when my arms jiggle around when i raise them up. Heck I worked this hard I have the right to feel sexy if i want to.   In america we call sexy sluty but i not talking about being sexy for anyone beside me. So i thought alot about it I think it time to call in the experts and fix it up . Frist thing get boobies that fit a bra that come out in the arm are with extra skin I dream of round preky bobbies that stand up mine look defined and saggy.   In life when you work this hard you have the right to feel sexy. If doing your hair makes you feel sexy then do it If getting plastic suregry is it then go for it as long as you do it for you and not for other I do not think it should be a problem

Feeling Bones

This may sound silly but i just reized something.   A few weeks ago i was doing an abbs class but not only were my abbs hurting but also my butt. I relized that i was no longer sitting on fat but there was a bone there thats what i am feeling. I know it a small thing but to me this was huge it been coved in fat for so long i did not know there was bones there.   Then a few days ago i was doing yoga the other day we we doing this thing were you bed your back back and i relized that i had ribs and i could feel them they were not coved in fat they were sticking out. I then spent a good 10 min feeling my new decoved ribs.   it funny how small things along this joury make you so excited

So she made me tryed them on and then she said well you did this to your self your just a fat slob. I wanted to eat so bad as that what i knonw but i am writing it down so i rember what she did . I hate pepole who want to hurt you and not help you i think it time to get rid of her and her negive ways she had no right to bring that stuff over and say hateful things. I am sorry if this sounds like a whine and complain but i just need to get this off my chest before i handle this the wrong way with my good old freind red velet cupcake and ice cream and chips

Frist i asked for a kids menu the guy told me he would not give me one i explaned i had a lap band and he looked at me like i had five head i explaned it like a gastic bi pass i can only eat an oz of soft food. He said this is are menu share with some else. I looked at the menu there was nothing i could eat everything was bread shrimp crab cakes a salda and best of all i asked about the soup it had pasta in it. I explaned again i can not eat these food I explaned if i eat too much i thow up all over your table. At that point the manger came in I explaned again i have a lap band he looked at me like i had five heads and I said a Gastic Bipass and he said OH okay so. I explaned i could not eat that much food and i needed it to be soft becuse i could not drink and eat. we came up with scambled eggs unsted of the 3 course meal I ate about 1 oz eggs are so hard for me by the end there always too hard no matter how much i chew, I could have had sammon but a fellow bander gaver me a great pice of adivce never ever try something for the frist time in public and i have not had samon yet so i was not going to try it out, The manger was very nice he did not even charge for my eggs I think he felt bad about the way i was treated I have to rember to get a card that said i can eat off the childern menu

Doing Something About It

I had my frist fill an i am in what they call bandester hell. I can eat what everi want i never vomit any more and i can get it all down i have no resrtion with my 1 CC fill to make it worst i can't get another fill untill september. So i am going to do something about it. I could wine and complan that i have nothing i went though a sugery for nothing i am hurgery and can eat what ever i want. I guess i just did that Or i could say Okay it time to do something about it you lost 30lb and maybe you can do something with nothing. So i did something drastic i joined weight watchers again. yes I did same again I done weight watchers meny times before i quit each and every time. But this time I need to do it or i be back were i started sugery or no sugery. If the band can only help me a little and at this point nothing then maybe i can do it with extra help

Dear Dr Stupid

Dr Dr Stupid   i am glad you have never had anyone with a lap band before come into your office. I know i have a UTI i glad that you could not even do a stupid dip stuck test to show that i have a UTI. I am dizzy and vomiting That would mean that i am probley dehiraded. I am glad you think it funny to precribe medison i can not take with my band. I do not were a med alret bracelt that said no NIsads for no reson so telling me to take advill was stupid, Teling me to wait for monday to talk to my PCP is even more stupid. I glad you do not belive in the lap band thanks for telling me that over and over but I wonder were you got you MD if you can not even rightly treat a simple UTI right. Next time i save my self the money and just wait till monday since thats what i will have to do anyways     Singed a person who belives in her band becuse she lost 40 lbs by useing it and yes it was worth it. What was not worth it was seeing you becuse your an stupid person who can't even treat a simple UTI/ Kideny infection right

Day 9

I going to start off with a funny story I was standing in line at CVS need to refill on folic acid and get gas ex strips and i started to fell the gas symtoms pain in my stumic that i knew i wanted and need and behide me was a pre-school age child and there parents and well i just had no choice and out came the gas and the child behind me said "mommmy that lady just let out a stinky and it smells" Frist i wanted to hide then i wanted to trun around and say I am sorry i am 8 days past lap bad and it one of the side effects. But i keeped my compuser and let it go I guess you can tell a person who had lap band by why they have in there purse   1. water bottle 2. gas ex strips 3. air fresher 4. body spray 5. protine powder and shaker bottle 7, Crystal light to go   I might have over done it by going to the gym yesterday. I love my gym it a great place i joined it over a year ago and still like going from the most amzing staff to my personal trainer they all treated me with such recepct and know what i can do and make me work so hard. I told my self i was just going to walk around the indoor track but the reclining bike called my name and 30 mins latter i was done. I felt it all last nigt to the point i broke out the old pain stuff becuse my stumic hurt so much just to sit up. Still kind of sore I got to rember to pass my self in my bare feet shoes .     the cultre back on my UTI she said i am growing so pretty funnky stuff and she wanted to switch my anti botic right away as i was not sentive to the one i was on. The side effect of this one losse stools this should be fun. also yest i think it starting as all over insistion sight is red and crusty and oh so ichy I going to call the nurse and see what i safely put on it   So tonight i have to meet with a clint this is the frist time i have to put on real cloths since i had this done i been living in sweets for the last 9 days so i have to see what i have in my wardorbe to wear. I think i have a pair of legging that might woek with a nice jacket and some accessry a little make up and boom i can look good     Thats all for today   Laura
