:thumbup:: Yours truly, has never blogged but has decided to do it to stay on track,

TWO years ago, I had the lap band put into me. I lost so quick and was on track (very happy camper...lol). I went for my mamo and they told me that I had cancer..well the running around and the depression you feel is indescribable. At the time from the pressure, I started having some real health issues and my child needed me desperately to advocate for him in school. omg...it turned out that running for tests..showed that I had cancer...then the fools tried to take a biopsy and then they could not find it... then they take another xray..there is the cancer...then they get the surgeon.. he makes the hospital pre-op tests..then he gets looks at the tests...get a MRi ...great I am clastophobic...soooooo...I find an open MRI..wait again months for appointment..scared to death...and they can not get the color dye in me because my viens did not work..so the DR from that MRI came in and said..YOUR VAINS are the pits and we cannot do this...but I will personally review your xrays and have other doctors look...he at least said ..months of not knowing could kill a person..thanked him... a few days later he told the surgeon ..no way did I have cancer. MY has made me take the mamo again 6 months later...and when he saw that I was really in distress (go to his office and they can not find my mamos) he did his checking allowing sit in a chair, I think I upset him when he saw how much they had tortured me (it was the months of not knowing) BUT he knew since he had seen me so much at the hospital that I had gained some of the weight that I had so proudly LOST

Well, I always did eat the little amounts but did stretch my stomach with large drinks and did NOT have the time or desire to exercise. At time during this period of life, I did forget to eat BUT worse is not to drink the water.

Finally, I saw myself in a full mirror at the mall and was shocked to see me and my friend following me (:scared2:my boodie :sad:

)

SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO:thumbup:

I called my surgeon and went back for a fill. Thank god my lap band did not slip (tested) and already have lost five pounds.

I would have gone back earlier:thumbup: BUT SIL made me feel very ashamed :thumbup:

since I have been back...and filled...I realise that I did come back with some weight gain but I probably (honestly :sneaky: could have been 400 lbs) so now I am really happy and hang up on my SIL who is a nut :tongue:

I am glad that I am back and can not weight to see and enjoy being without that extra fluff.

I will see my Dr. Pucci on the 18th of September and pray that I will be down to 275lbs.

I did invest in the QVC Dvds by Richard Simmons but will restart them today after handing out our temples telephone directories to members. I also was told to keep a log of what is going in:drool: the nutritionist said that I needed 65-70 grams of protein.

Wish me a successful day :biggrin:

Sounds like you've have a rough patch in your life. I pray all is well with the cancer and it's gone or in remisson. Keep your head up and don't be embrassed to go to the dr... Look at this as a 2nd chance, because things could have been different with cancer. I pray everything will work out for you. Be blessed.

Good luck to you hun! I believe in you and look forward to future blogs of your success!

Get that protein and water in you like its your JOB!!!! Your life depends on it. Because it does!! I am sending you BIG smiles today and many more for HAPPY days to come. I just love playing music with my band and I will be dancin soon. We are all working our bands together. Best wishes. imaluckydog
