I did it. Starting on May 4th, I will attend bootcamp 4x a week. Oh joy! My body is starting to adjust to the workouts. It took me atleast 3 days to recover from my initial session with the trainer. I get filled in 5 days, Whoot Whoot. I can't wait. Wish me luck, I'm skeered.

After my first day back at bootcamp, I woke up SO sore. Everything from the neck down feels every ache. WOW, this is yet another reminder why I should always strive to stay on task with my workouts. Good thing it's only twice a week. I need to get more cardio in at the gym before I attend the next camp. It's not fun being out of breath. 2nd day is always worse so I can just imagine what tomorrow holds in store for me. I'll let y'all know manana.

Well I bit the bullet today and went to my fitness bootcamp class. I have not attended in almost 2 weeks due to family issues. I'm so glad that I got my fat rear up off the couch and worked out. I received 2 compliments about my legs and how toned they are. I loathe my body so much that I couldn't even say a simply thank you. Uh, I felt so aweful. Here they were trying to pay me a compliment which I'm not used to so I turn away. All I could think was, "yeah, that's the only part of my body that looks remotely normal". One day I will stop beating myself up about my body. After all, I'm a creation of our Lord and he doesn't make junk. I'm determined to take care of the temple he has blessed me with. On a happier note, I'll be going to my daughters track meet later today. Whoot Whoot!

Thanks, it was definitely tough. When do you get banded?

I'm on my 3rd day of cleansing and I almost slipped up today. I'm trying to lose atleast 5 lbs. before my fill on April 20th but today was VERY trying. My mom cooked cheese enchiladas, rice, and refried beans for dinner tonight. I about came through my skin to get a taste of an enchilada. Thankfully, I brought my ipod and booked it to the track. What did I think about while walking.....them darn enchiladas. If I continue going to mom's house, I may give into temptation. Looks like I might have to stop making trips to visit them for a while. The 20th can't get here fast enough.

I bit the bullet and reschuled my fill for April 20th instead of May 4th. Out of curiosity, I decided to ask what my weight was the last time I went in for an unfill. Wow, that was a loaded question. She said 178, I was like WHOA I'd love nothing more than to see that number again. Today marked day 1 of 11 for cleansing my body.

HA, you're too funny. Let me know if you get a scheduled date on Thursday. I'm rootin for ya. I'm counting down the days for my fill. Latest funeral was yesterday and it was really difficult to stay on my eating plan. Easter is coming up so that will be another mental check tha I will need to overcome. Keep in touch.

Hi xavier: I don't mind at all that you ask that question. I was unfilled back in September '08 due to a stretching of my pouch. While vacationing in Hawaii back in July '08, I vomitted for 6 hours straight while on a Catamaran. It was the WORST 6 hours of my life. Before going on vacation, I had great restriction but the puke session did not help my band. After returning from vacation, I noticed that I could eat more than normal so I went in for a fill 1st week of Sept. and I was told my pouch had stretched. After that, a worldwind of events took place in my life. I've had 5 deaths in the family all within the matter of 6 months. I was on an emotional roller coaster. When my clothes started to fit tight, I was like whoa the weight is creeping back on. That's when it clicked and I said to myself, "I need to regain control of my life!" How long have you been banded?

I was banded almost 2 years ago and have been unfilled for about 7 months. Not to fret, I'm going back on May 4th to get a fill. What is it with mom's and their need to dwell on imperfections. I'm constantly being reminded by mom that I have such a pretty face but I need a body to go with it. :wub: I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt to hear that. All I can do at this point prove her wrong and let her know that I'm more than JUST a pretty face. Strange how she sees what I don't see. She sees a pretty face, I don't. She sees a HUGE body, I see a person who lost 40 lbs. and on her way to lose another 55 lbs. I need all the encouragement I can get so if you can help that would be AWESOME!

Thank you so very much for your insight. Much appreciated.
