In the Zone

:cursing: I am now in the Zone from what the doctor said today. I did not have to have a fill. I am able to eat without a golfball in my throat or the vomiting. The sores in my mouth have healed and I am still Loosing. 97 pounds gone. the only problem I am having is finding something in my closet that doesnt fall off me litterally. I didnt think I would ever be able to loose and keep it off. Thank you Lap Band. Happy New Year to all and good luck with your weight loss You can do it!!!!!

Doing Great

Hello everyone It has been a while. I have had a few problems with not being able to eat and get enough protein. I went in to the doctor for a check up and the loosened my band a little. I am finally able to eat 3 small meals a day finally. I have lost 97 pounds in less than 6 months. I am wondering how I was able to carry so much weight around without my feet breaking lol. I can actully see my feet when I am standing up. My stomach is shrinking and I have dropped from a 4x to a size 16.Wow I can actually fit into pretty clothes again. Also I am off my sugar meds for a month now and my sugar has stayed in the normal range. My energy has increased and I dont want to sleep all the time. If I had to do the band over again I would in a heart beat. The band is the best tool in the world. I hope everyone has the best of luck with their band .

save the kids

Ok this has nothing to do with lapband or eating or loosing weight today this is something I need to vent on. I got up this morning and like many other people I turned on the news. The first thing I see is another child is hurt by a parent> I am so angry!!!!!!!!! 3 little girls were put in a closet and set of fire by their mother. she was diagnoised as a phsycotic(excuse spelling) she is going through a divorce and thinks it is ok to set her kids on fire. The news shows the father running to the house. Hello what is wrong with this picture????? Did the father know?? If he did why on earth did he leaves his girls with her???? The doctors knew why didnt they do anything??? I realize that HIPPA stops almost everything from going puplic on medical records, but there should be a loop hole that a doctor can step up and say ok something is wrong lets contact someone to keep this person from hurting herself or worse yet someone else. It is now a common practice for mothers to use God as an excuse to kill their kids and the justice system is letting them get away with it. There is something wrong for the most trusted person in a childs life to kill their own child. For the people who are religious you may think that it is the devil. before I offend anyone let me say this GOD would not tell you to kill your kids. If I offend someone you will have to bare with me. It is time someone stand up and say enough. stop giving theses evil people rights!!!!!! Stop letting moms kill their kids. they may be crazy or tired or just dont want them anymore. But killing them is not an answer they didnt ask to be born. But once you take on kids you have to take care of them keep them safe and happy you have to keep others from hurting them. How many chances do we get????? only one to raise a beutifull child. Our justice system has failed our kids when a child predator has more rights than the child who was raped tortured or even murdered has. The convicted have people who cry humane treatment for prisoners and parolese. To me if you hurt a child or anyone else you have no rights you dont get tv or music or 3 square meals or outside time. you are in jail for a reason. But we as a population let them out and guess what folks they do it again!!! When does the cycle stop. When does the system say enough??? In the paper Saturday a 2 yearold girl is dead her father and his girlfriend arrested neighbors didnt even know there was a child living there. And yet he will get his trial and if convicted go to jail. he will have rights to humane treatment even though his little girl no longer has any rights because she is dead. A little girl last week was found hanged after she was stollen out of her house she was raped and tortured then hanged her mother found her. no one has been arrested yet but I can say this the person who did this has probably done it before and the justice system let them go to do it again. I am not saying our justice systems is all wrong I am saying it needs to toughen up. predetors dont deserve freedom at all there is no rehab for these people!! They dont deserve second chances to do this again. If you think I am crazy look at megans law and the amber alert system great ways to help kids but we wouldnt have them if megan was not murdered and raped then buried by a convicted child predator. amber was kidnapped and murdered. So you tell me who is failing our kids??? We have Teachers who have sex with our kids. you have Preists and preachers having sex with our kids. How do you protect your kids from them???? I had to start teaching my 7 year old when he was 4. I had to teach him what bad touching was and not to let anyone touch him at school or church. I had to teach him to trust me enough to come tell me if someone does something bad to him and even today I have to remind him that he can come to me no matter what anyone says. We as a society have failed. If our children are our future then we need to value them and keep them safe from harm. write your politicians to press for our presidental canidates to stand for our kids. Get them to push for tougher laws and longer jail time. Them need harsher punishments and chemical ( castration) It not only needs to be a 2 mile radius of a child predator but the whole area. I dont care if he served his time or not I want to know I want to see their pics so I can go to the park with my kids and reconize their face and be able to protect my kids. My heart goes out to the parents who have lost a child to them and my heart aches for the moms and the dads who will never know what happened to their kids. Sorry for the rant but someone needs to say something it cant stay behind closed doors anymore cause that evil person could be watching your home and child just this minute and you will never see him coming

no time

ok today i feel really crappy. I have no energy to do anything. Even typing is making me tired today and forget about going for my walk. It seems I have so much to do and not enough time to get it done.I just cant seem to get the time for myself to go for my walks. I have tons of excuses taking care of the home animals running after kids school work has to get done. Lets not forget my job also. Dinner has to fixed and that is two meals one for me and then one for the family. who has the time to go walk for an hour. Maybe at midnight I can get up and go lol yeah right. maybe I will get my energy going and be able to walk after 5 today if the little ones will let me go long enough.

Bad Fried Chicken

hello again!!! I have had a rough day today. I tried a peice of fried chicken and that will never ever happen again!!!!! I thought one little peice should be ok I stay in my calories I watch what I eat I have lost alot and I deserve this little treat. Yeah right ha ha. that is the miracle of the lap band it prevents you from doing the stupid things more than once. I learned my lesson well. I can look at stuff and say no and then again some things you just have to try and learn the hard way. I have gone back to soft foods till my stomache settles done again. The only thing I can say is one pound lost is a gift. I have heard other people talk about not eating bread. I learned that lesson all to well as so many others have. Iam still learning so their are still more mistakes in the future. I am more careful though to choose my mistakes and learn. Some things have to be tried and some can be avoided (like chocolate cake). So I am going to be more careful when I try something new and only try a little bite and see how it goes down than take the whole peice of fried chicken like I did today. Bad Bad Fried Chicken:eek: :sick

Dont let Doubts get you before the surgery

This is the journey of a lifetime. Learning to loose weight with all the temptations around you. I was banded on June 15 2007. I thought about doing this for over a year. I tried everything with some sucess but always gained back the lbs and guess what they brought several friends with them. So much so that after my second child was two I was an awfull 349lbs. The doctor told me the type 2 was back and we had to do something to change my life or I would become incellin dependent. I am only 36 and now with fighting off fatiuge ,diabeties and aches and pains. I had a choice either stop living for myself or stop living for everyone else. If I wanted to live then it was a time for a huge change. I had to do this for myself and no one else. I wanted my life back. I had huge scary doubts even up to the minute of the surgery. I was a food addict. How will I survive without earing everthing I wanted when I wanted???? I almost didnt do the surgery. Then something said to me I have to do this or not live at all. When you are on the pre-diet and everyone around you is eating it is the hardest time of your life. Then they weigh you and you have only lost 13 lbs. it hits you in the face this isnt going to be easy. I just wanted to cry and almost did. I had my surgery. and started loosing the weight. Then people started noticing it I couldnt see it yet and the scales said I had, I just couldnt see it. My first goal was to get to 300lbs. I have reached my first goal and I am now working on my second goal of 275. I am well on my way. I am now 295lbs and my clothes are starting to fall off of me. I was able to put on my wedding rings for the first time in over two years. I can walk 2 miles and not loose my breath. My sugar has leveled out. The biggest thing so far was my 7 year old told me Mom you are looking good. If I had to do this all over again and had the doubts wispering in my head I would still do the surgery. I did this for me!! So anyone who has doubts and reads this just think it will be worth it for yourself not anyone else.
