hmm..i dunno if its the nice summer heat but i didnt feel like eating much today. can it please stay this hot year round? lol. all i want is watermelon..my all time fav..but unfortunetly that watermelon has a hard time stayin down now that im banded..as with most fruits. grr..and theyre my absolute fav!! :ohmy: today was pretty good. i stuck with my restart and did my 45 min power walk this evening. i didnt want to go at all, and i pushed myself sayin just do 25 mins at least a lil ways up the street, but once i got there i was like lets just do the rest..and i did. woohoo!:wink2: tomorrow night i dont think i'll get a chance to walk due to an event with work all evening..but i will be at the pool in the early afternoon goin to make sure i do lots of laps. i think i may even stick to the pre surgery diet and just have some protein shakes tomorrow. that sounds like a good idea!:cool2:

i've been afraid to weigh myself bc i havent walked since wednesday. ughh i just feel awful..that walking really helps..i can feel the diff. ive been feeling great physically and emotionally..just an all around better mood when i walk regularly..and now i feel miserable. so tomorrows my brand new start. im going to restart my walking and making a goal to lose 7-10lbs by this time next month (my next doc appt.) i def think i need a fill..but i want to take this month to make sure its just not me being lazy.

wow, havent updated in over a yr. so last time i blogged i think i was switching dr.s. well i love love love my new doc and am thrilled to be away from the crazy lady i had to deal with when i was with the other dr. These new people are in lake success and theyre awesome. i've been doin VERY well since moving over there to them. ive hit the 60lbs down mark..which im still in shock over!! lol. ive been struggling a lil this summer tho, havent been as strict and i think i need another fill..just a lil one..i havent gained ANYTHING..but havent lost too much either..but i feel thats better than the scale movin up. i havent really been working out like normal either..heats kicks my ass this time of year. but this past week and half of last i've stepped up and have walked every night. in fact i was proud bc i walked yesterday afternoon for a half hour and then in the evening for 45 mins. feel very accomplished over that. today i did some swimming and leg workouts in the pool and im off for my 45 min power walk right after this post. i have a dr appt tomorrow..im nervous bc i havent lost much..but hope they wont be too hard on me since i havent gained either. fingers crossed!! lol. k, off for my workout..ttyl:tongue2:

oh cool..ur practically right down the street from me lol

im located in massapequa (nassau) what area are u in summeragain? how about u silly grilly?

totally agree. i live with my parents..and they have no idea..im in this alone..and have just given up on their understanding and support. i have one close friend who gets it and fully supports me 100%..but in the long run..he still will never kno what it feels like. so please keep me posted if u create anything..thanks.

im interested..i just joined an LI one but it doesnt seem to be active..ill join urs tho..i need some local LB friends..

maybe the mystery bruises are from when they have to transfer u from the stretcher to the op table and back again..i remember a few people having to help do that..maybe u just got clipped a little.

hii!! from long island too. South Shore nassau to be exact. i was banded in march 2008 by Dr. Daniel Davis up at lawrence hospital in Westchester but now my doc is Dr. Buchin from LIJ. anyone else have him??

hi all. i have a few tattoos but theyre on my ankles, feet, wrist. the places that are skinniest. so it has always been a dream to be able to get a tat someplace on my torso..but have never felt comfortable doing it bc noones will see it bc im always covered and ill want to show ppl but be too embarrassed. so i vowed that when i hit my goal i am going to get a pirate ship either on my side or my back on my shoulder..thats deff been the places i;ve been afraid to venture and cant wait til i can finally feel comfortable enuff to get it there. pirate ship has no significance..i just love pirates and nautical folklore (way before the pirate mania) lol

if these are ur friends, why would they care if u had surgery or dont want to eat? i can understand tho why u may want to keep it to urself. i told my friends and theyre really supportive. they think its awesome and when we go out theyre always the planners and actually take me into consideration..not takin me somewhere where they know i wouldnt be able to eat. when we do go out, say to dinner or lunch..easy..get healthy stuff. when we go to a bar..i volunteer to be the driver and drink my waters..or if i really crave a lil drink, i opt for a glass of wine. but only one, as not to overdo it. but yea, if u want to choose to keep the surgery to urself..thats ur decision and u shouldnt have to justify ur new eating habits to anyone..just say im just not feeling like eating all that or drinkin all that. theres nothin wrong with tryin to better urself. but i have to say..it is really good to have someone around who knows..theyll help u stay motivated and keep ur goal in mind..help with temptation too. just some thoughts. but good luck to u!! hope ur well!!:whatchutalkingabout
