Fluffernutter

Hi Ladies. Long time no talk. I have just been really discouraged with this whole band. It bums me out more than anything to watch everyone do so well. How come I am failing at this thing???? I have been at 215 for 6 months now. I get on the tredmill 3-4 times a week for 2 miles each time. I just can't stop eating the crap that goes thru this band so easily. I don't know if I'm afraid of the old me. I was pretty damned frisky when I was 150 and single. Now I'm married and quite comfy. Although, the men still give me whistles and stares. Not too long ago, I had some young hottie sitting next to me at a red light. He signalled for me to roll down my window. I thought he was going to ask me for directions. I rolled it down and said "Yes". He said "You are gorgeous". I was dumbfounded..............I just laughed and said "Oh, OK, thanks". He then honked and wanted me to talk to him. I just sped off when my light turned green. I'm always thinking to myself, "If they could only see the bottom half of me, with my huge ass and hips". hahahahahaha Well, I'll try to keep checking in. Jen

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...finally!!! Yeah, I'm filled again. Since I have been completely empty for 3 weeks, I've put on almost 10 lbs. My Doc gave me .7 cc's. Hopefully this will be fine for me. I went to Panda Express with my hubby just now and I could barely finish a child's plate. I decided to make better choices when standing at the counter. I would usually get Orange chicken and Steamed Rice. This time, I changed it up. I thought that my ole favorite might be too sticky to get through my fill. So, I ordered fried rice and Chicken and String Beans. YUM YUM. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Jen

I NEED A FILL.............................................UGH!!!!!!! I just ate 4 peices of pizza. I want to cry. OK, so anyone want to join my pity party???? When I began WW 4 weeks ago I weighed 218.00. Three weeks ago, the day I raced down to TJ to get a complete emergency unfill.....................I weighed in that morning at WW at 210. I went to WW yesterday (after being unfill for 2 1/2 weeks) I got on that scale and it read 219.5..........................AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What the hell???? Heck....................ooooooooooopppppppppppsssssss. Jen

I'm seriously struggling. I ate 2 servings of chicken enchiladas for dinner. They tasted sooooo damn good and I couldn't stop. The only thing that I have any control of is my walking. I finally got my pedometer set and I have walked 10,000 steps yesterday and today. It really didn't seem that hard at all. I am working at a Pizza Parlor in the morning doing food prep, and then in the afternoon I work at a middle school as a campus supervisor. I get to walk a lot at the school. Jen

I am sooooooo depressed right now. Remember how I was puking really bad and raced down to TJ??? Well, they completely unfilled me. And Dr. Martinez showed me that my stomach had actually pushed up through my band. He said that my band had not slipped. Yet, from all of the puking, my stomach pushed it's way up through my band. And now, I am eating like a maniac. I was 210 last week at my WW meeting. Now, one week later, I weigh in at 216. Just shoot me now please. Jen

Mariquita..............................what's the address at your job??? LOL Good luck girl, you can do it!!!!!! Jen

Good morning Ya'll............................ Did I mention that I was down 4.6 lbs when I weighed in at WW???? The lady at the register was like, "oh my goodness that is great, how did you do it"???? I couldn't tell her that I had been puking for 3 days. I bought a pedometer at my WW meeting. I saw Valarie Bertanelli on the Ellen show the other day and she is wearing one. Her goal is to walk 10,000 steps each day. I'm gonna aim a little lower than that. Shit, first I have to figure out how to set this darn thing. Enjoy your day, Jen

Down another 2 lbs today.........................yay me........209 now. I'm off to WW and then racing, yes racing down to TJ for a slight unfill. I can barely swallow this morning. I puked all day yesterday and the day before. I'm starving. I want food, real food. I can't even truly do WW since I can't get any food down. Jen

Fluffer (Jen) checking in. I'm down to 211.......................from 218 when I was completely unfilled and eating out of control. Tomorrow morning is WW meeting and I hope to weigh 211 with my clothes on. Yay me. My 20 year reunion in Aug. 4 my goal is to be into ONEderland by July 1. Then maybe another 10 down by Aug. 4. I CAN DO IT...............I WILL DO IT..............I'M A ONEDERLAND WARRIOR!!!!!!

DrewsLou, I checked out the skating website. I am sooo jealous. I would be right in there with ya. I love to skate. I think I'm going to go online and order some new skates. Yep, that's it...............I'm doing it. Jen

I'm checking in. Geez....................Kym..................LOL Well, I just ate my lunch. A weight watchers Sante Fe chicken Meal worth 2 points. But I am PBing like crazy. I'm going to hold it in as long as I can before running into the bathroom and puking it up. I chewed really good too. I don't know what the heck is stuck. UGH. I went to WW on Tues. afternoon and weighed in. I was down 3.4 lbs.......................yahoooooooooo buckaroooooooo. Jen

Drew and Kim.............................I'm on my 5th wedding cookie right now. And get this, I went down to TJ yesterday and got a fill. Whatever. I should have had more put in. I'm only up to 1.0 cc's right now. I was empty, remember??? So, I guess this will have to do for a couple of weeks. Then back down to TJ. Jen

OMG......................my twin.............LOL May 2 was a good day wasn't it???? Did you get banded in TJ by Dr. Ortiz???? Were we there together??? What kind of skating do you do???? I used to speed skate on a team when I was 12-15ish. I wish I had my old skates still. Jen

Jennifer - checking in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you all do this.................take a deep breath and then let it all out just to weigh less. Cuz you know, our breath at least weighs a half and ounce..............................LOL Anyone local???? I'm driving down to TJ on Monday or Tues. to get a slight fill. Like maybe .6 cc's.

You need to buy lighter weight clothes then...................LOL How's this for trickery....................last week at weight watchers I wore full length jeans.............................last night I wore capri jeans to weigh less. It soooooooo didn't work. I weighed the exact same as last week. I didn't even lose an ounce..................whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jen

Trying to get a visual on that one........................LOL Are you a man or woman???? Jen

Wow Jaqui.....................I'm am sooooo jealous. You go girl. Where are you from???? Jen

Hey there my peeps...............................did everyone enjoy a nice Cinco De Mayo???? What did ya'll eat and drink to celebrate??? Margaritas????????????? Not me. I stayed home and did nothing. Literally. My kids were all gone to friends and my hubby is away for Nat'l Guard Duty..................so I caught up on my Tivo. When I rushed down to Dr. Ortiz last week for an emergency unfill............complete unfill................I think they left some in me because I am having major restriction with this Subway Wrap I'm trying to eat right now. Damn.......................burp...............LOL Talk to you soon, Jen

I'm sitting here with unbuttoned pants..........................thanks to 3 peices of pizza. I feel like shit. I want to cry. The taste of the greasy cheese and pepperoni's was just sooooooo darn good. I was full after the first piece. Why can't I feel this way towards carrots and celery???? But, good news, I've rode my bike 3 times since Monday. My 3rd grader has been shocked to see me each day waiting outside the bike racks to ride home with her from school. Since I'm confessing my days sins...........................I went to the movies today with myself and watched "In the Land Of Woman". I drank a large diet coke and a half a bag (big bag) of Reeses Pieces. When it was time to leave, I left the half bag behind sitting on the floor. Yeah Me!!!! ps. If you go to see this movie......bring Kleenex.

Ahhhhh, nice. I love Washington. My aunt lives in Green Acres. Do you know Michelle aka Cleo from Dr. Ortiz website??? I think she's near you. I met her one day when I was there for a fill. She was there with a friend that was getting banded too. Is it raining up there right now??? My friend in Bend Oregon said its pouring down all over Oregon. Jen

OK, I'm going to try it again. Fingers crossed everyone???? Where ya'll from....................State/Town (if that's not too personal) I'm in the Temecula Valley in Southern Cali

I got all the way through it................made my ticker................now I can't figure out how to transfer it over. I'm retarded.

My girlfriend just told me that she's going to be on the cover of Dr. Ortiz's new book. She chats in here under Housecatgirl (i think) her name is Laura. She looks great. But she's like me.....fill, unfill, fill, unfill........and so on and so on. She works out a lot. That's my downfall. I may for my membership just to know its there if I ever need it.....LOL Jen

A bit depressed this past couple of weeks. A very good friend of mine was killed by her soon to be ex. Then he set her on fire and killed himself. Her kids go to school with my kids. You can read about it by googling her name Sadie Finney. It has really devistated everyone. I can't bring myself to deleting her phone number from my speed dial. It still has her sweet voice on it. So, WW it is.....................I'm turning it around. The leader at the meeting last night told me that there were several bandsters in her classes. I can't wait to meet some of them.
