130 lbs My dream. 59 lbs so far so I am almost 1/2 way there. You inspired me. Congrats to you. Judy

I am 5.7 cc and yes I am very tight in the morning. I have meds I have to take with yogurt. I crush my meds and it takes me forever to eat that yogurt. Sometimes I eat it too fast and have to get up and walk but it goes thru. At night, I take almost the same meds and I don't have to crush them and I still take them with Yogurt. 50 lbs that is great and fast. I had the band done on Dec 31st and have lost 59 lbs so you are doing VERY good according to me. And yes, at night I can eat more but I am like you and learning to stop and thinking I ate enough so to stop eating. I have caught myself doing the mindless eating and then I get in trouble even though it has been almost 6 months for me. I guess the fat girl will always be in me. Have a good day and think positive, your doing great. Remember we did not have the bypass where the weight comes off faster, we had the band which I feel was the correct choice. Judy

That is great. I am kind of lucky where I have only had 2 stuck items. I have heard that a lot of people have one at least once a week. Guess we are eating the right foods. Keep up the good work and you will have new name ........ Yound and thin....... Judy

Wow, my doctor would never put that much in at once. Be careful what you eat. I did talk my doctor into giving me a full cc and 24 hours later I was back there getting .8cc out. I could not even get a shake down. It was awful. I have 5.7 cc now and doing good with it but be careful what you eat for a few days because it does swell up and you get even tighter and then you can't even swallow your own spit. I hope for the best for you. Judy

There was no place to make a comment on your last blog so here I am to reply to that. That sleep thing I had to go thru also and told me that I will need it to wake up from surgery. Well, I did not. I lost my first 20lbs and then got rid of it. It was annoying and I could not sleep with it. Use it if you need it but let us hope you don't and you will loose the weight. Good Luck. Judy

Lesson learned and thanks for sharing. I will not even attempt to eat corn on the cob. Judy

4 years.........wow and 75 lbs. Good luck to you and thanks for blogging. Most bloggers are just getting it done or has only had the band less than a year, like me. Good to hear from someone that has had it that long and still using it like you should. judy

Rocky Theme Music Playing in my Head
Judyjones commented on Kymbethin's blog entry in Journey to Healing
I am with you. I am stuck at 210 but did have a weigh in day which is Fridays at 208. So the past few days have been 210. I want to see that onederland also. We will get there, this is no fade diet. This is a lifetime journey and we have a great tool. I love my band. Judy -
6 months and no weight loss...band practically full
Judyjones commented on Gorda123's blog entry in Blog 75657
I guess my weight loss is from me NOT being the in the kitchen. I have a wonderful husband who will go out to the kitchen and make himself something to eat if I don't feel like just making him something after I have a shake for my meal. He has lost 30 lbs and he feels great and did not even have to go thru the surgery. MEN!!!! Sorry Michael. I feel for ya having to cook all the time but you know you are grazing and admitting it so now STOP. Another Italian that is too blunt. Judy -
I could have written your blog except for the fact that I have told very few people. My kids and 3 good friends and that is all. Afraid of what people would think like your taking the easy way out just like I use to think. LOL we were so wrong for thinking that. I have a long ways to go but with blogs like this helps me with my own feelings and what I should be eating. Thanks Diane, great reading. Judy
-
You look great. Wow, you must feel wonderful. Keep up the good work. -
I read your blog and want to share something. I started this journey on June 25, 2010 and surgery day was Dec 31st. I went to my first support group meeting, doctors orders, and a girl was there saying she lost 60lbs. I thought, yeah right, I have never lost that much weight in my life on any diet. Well, Friday was my weigh in day and I lost 59lbs. I have a lot more to loose and I am going to do it and so will you so good luck. Judy
-
Thank you for your comment on WHOOPS. Yes, I did try and push it thru with that popcicle and yes it did come right back up. I just can't believe how much it hurts and people talk about getting stuck everytime they eat. Ouch! I have 5.5 cc and go Tuesday for another fill but I might leave it alone. I was hoping I am at my sweet spot now. Thanks again, Judy

Pizza Friday at the Office
Judyjones commented on finallygettingthere's blog entry in The Dude's Blog
I had surgery on Dec 31st and have not had any bread or pizza dough and don't miss it a bit because my clothes fit better and the numbers are going down. When I am hungry for pizza I use turkey sauage, pizza sauce, put it hot in a deep dish pie plate and put cheese over the top and bake. Pizza with no bread. Even my husband will eat it and loves it. Good Luck with your Friday pizza days, Judy -
You made a comment on The Dude's blog and I made one too and wanted to make sure you saw what I wrote so please go check it out. Loved that comment.

LovetheNewMe..I love what you said at the end. Listen to your band when full and not your head. Yep, I have learned NOT to take just one more bite. Great comment. Judy
-
Closet eater...........I was also guilty but sure have come a long ways and so have you. Congrats to you. Size 14 yeah for you. And the lady at the doctors office told me that the bypass is much better and I won't loose the weight I want to. I will show her. Weigh in date today is at 208 from 267 since Dec 31st. I sure am showing her. Judy

Kelly is right, never over fill. Just when you feel full STOP eating. You can do it. I try and eat before I go anyplace so I don't eat in front of anyone and I just socialize while they are stuffing their faces. No matter what kind of food they have, I think to myself........I am full and don't want to over eat cause if I threw up in front of anyone, it would be awful. As far as the weekends, everyday is a weekend for me. I am old and retired soooooooo you can think of your weekends of being a week day and eat like you do during the week. Easier said than done......right??? Good luck to you. Judy

I love my protein shakes for a meal. Ice, skim milk, choc powder or frozen strawberries, skim milk and strawberry powder. Put in a blender or bullet blender. My new life. Weight will go down or stay the same. Weigh in days are Friday mornings. Can't wait until tomorrow. Judy Leaving for my vacation July 26th and yes, I am worried about the short plane ride also but I know I will fit that seat.
-
I hope they noticed but if they don't, don't give up because they will..........I promise you. I hit my 60lbs mark today and people still don't notice but I don't care. I feel good and love watching those numbers go down and having my clothes fit so much better and I now have a place for my lap top computer.................ON MY LAP. Have a good day, Judy
-
Thanks for the comment. I am at 5.5cc and I am suppose to get another fill next week but I think I am at my sweet spot. I never get hunger pains and ususally all food goes down, unless I forget to chew and do that mindless eating. I am really thinking of canceling that next fill. I wanted to get to my sweetspot before July 26th cause I am headed to Alaska for a month. Tight there?? NOPE NOT ME!

Wow, you mind is set to do this and you are doing it. Congrats and love your blog. Judy

Wow, never heard of that. I must try it because I sure am having problems not being able to go and when I do go it is so hard it hurts. Judy
