    I don't know if you remember me or not...but I wanted to see how your doing...two years in! I've met my goal just last week.

    Discouraging friends anyone?

    CarrieLynn replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I too am a slow looser. I'm just over a year and down 43 pounds. 40 to go. I get lots of negative feed back as well. But I now have come to realize they can kiss my a$$. I felt this was the right for me. Thankfully I have a Sister in Law and a very good friend on this journey with me. They both have lost over 100# and look amazing. Way to go bansters!!

    Susan I was banded 8-3-09. LOL I weighted 208 as well. I'm 5'2". And your doing quite well compared to me. I'm down 43 pounds. I have 40 more to go to my goal. I too got rid of all my fat clothes. I was afraid that having them I would go back to them. This way I refuse to buy a bigger size. Only smaller. I have Wii fit and got bored with it to today my hubby bought me the Biggest Looser. I'm telling you just 1/2 an hour today and I'm feeling it! =) Please stay in touch!

    Great news! I was a little slow at getting started. But I'm 171# today! I think I am at my sweet spot. I eat approx 1/4 to 1/2 cup per meal. Usually something easy. I tried scrambled egg today, and it is NOT my friend! I'm still learning. I'm so glad I went through with this. I am hoping to reach my goal by my 40th birthday which is in October.

    I'm sorry your having to deal with these things.... Personally my marriage is still very stable....and behind the scene I feel better about myself! I'm willing to listen if you just need to vent!
  6. CarrieLynn
    Now that its warmer in my area I've started walking. and my poor lil fat beagle is adjusting well!
  7. CarrieLynn
    I have noticed that everyday is different. What I ate yesterday I may not tolerate tomorrow. I vomit, well not vomit but productive belch at least every day. I'm still learning to chew...this is the first adjustment I've acutally had restriction!

    I don't excercise as per "go to the gym, run 5 miles". But I don't lay around either. I am a House wife /mom of older teens. My husband is on the road 10 days at a time. I watch what I eat...I don't lay and eat bon bons...but yes I have an occasional kiddy cone from DQ and a random cup cake. I know thats horrible but I do cheat! Your right the slower it comes off the better chance we have in it staying off. I just get so fustrated. If I wanted to diet or could do it by diet I wouldn't have had the dang band done!!

    I have pretty much the same restrictions as you Susan. bread of any kind, (muffins, bagles, toast). I too eat a lot of Soup and oatmeal. I can't eat nuts, like a handful of walnuts, almonds Nope! meat isn't an issue. But NO steak. I do alot of ground chicken/turkey. NO fish...it gets stuck. I'm down approximately 23-24 pounds. I get so discouraged. I've been at this weight since December. minus 1 or 2 here and there. Its just such a slow process. I feel like I'm all alone but I see your right here with me!

    another .3cc taking me to a total of 3.8cc. I feel a little more restriction but I don't believe its my sweet spot yet.

  11. CarrieLynn

    still stuck. . . had 3rd adjustment on Tuesday. . . another .

  12. CarrieLynn
    I was banded in August and I'm down a total of 20 pounds. I had my second and last fill on Oct 27. I've not lost but maybe 2 pounds since then. I am hungery. I don't tolerate any form of bread well at all, I feel as if I'm choking to death. Am I too tight already. . . or do I need a fill. I've got a total of 3.5cc:confused:
  13. CarrieLynn

    Hello, how are you. I'm down 20 but seem to be stuck. . . I'm getting fustrated. I get another adjustment on the 27th I hope that it will do my body good! Keep in touch!

    My first fill

    CarrieLynn replied to seckert08's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

    My first fill today too. . and I also got 3cc. . . I had 'wendy's' chili for dinner and was well satisfied witha small.
  15. CarrieLynn
    I got my first fill today. 3cc in a 10 cc band. It was not any more painful than giving blood for blood work pre op. He suggested liquids for 2 days and mushies for 2 days. then regular diet afterwards. He also said I could do Diet Dew in moderation if I like and a straw! Dang I love this man!! I did have 'wendy's" chili for dinner. . . .and was well satisfied with the small!

    burning at incision

    CarrieLynn replied to desperateinDE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had the same burning except for when lying down. It was warm to the touch and red. . . DH even mentioned maybe infection. . . but all the sudden it was fine! Skin is still dry and scratchy. . . I keep lotion on it!

    Hello Girly! How are you? I don't know if I've responded to you I belive I was probably partially stoned back on the 13th. LOL

     

    I am doing TONS better. This was a harder surgery on me than I had planned. It took me a GOOD FULL week to be able to get around on my own.

     

    I walked my dogs yesterday, 90 pound lab and 50 pound beagle. That was only about 1/2 mile but with them pulling it was a decent sweaty workout.

     

    I love to scrap. Maybe collecting supplies i like more.

     

    I'm off to see your blog now! Please keep in touch and your welcome to email me at bktluvr@aol.com

     

    Talk to you soon

    I woke up in the night with horrible pain under my left bottom rib. . . if I don't move its okay. Could it be gas under my diaphram?? I'm not having hunger, but WOW i'm bored with the liquids. I have ventured off to pudding, Jello, scrambled egg and cottage cheese. . . . becoming bored with that now. Maybe mashed potatoes for supper? that sounds amazing right about now. I too wondered about the DAN DEE cheese curls that we fed to our toddlers, the ones that turn to mush at the site of moisture? Has anybody else tried this? I also have a diet dew turning flat as we speak. . . I just want to chew. . .

    I was banded 8/3 In Pittsburgh PA. I am still VERY sore. . . I'm thinking I'm just a sissy! Or I expected to be 'normal' within 3 days. NO hunger, but I have some gas pains right under the breast bone. I'm very thirsty. . . I just want to chug Water. I know that's a NO NO and I've resisted. I'm bored with the liquids and got permission from the Dr for cottage cheese. . .that was fine for today. . .but I"m wanting crackers for my soup! I know I'm whining!!

    CarrieLynn replied to Rodnegg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    how private is too private?

    CarrieLynn replied to kitkat61's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I only told my husband, daughter, sons and a very few friends. . . until after surgery then I shared with others. I belive my mother was possibly the last to know
