...reconnecting to draw inspiration from those like ME: ) ...#BACKonTRACK2013

....LOViNG the 240's...LOOKiNG forward to the 230's....but, WORKiNG towards being in the 220's or 2TeeNS before the year is OUT!...

....so i must admit and say i am not doing my part 100%....but i have been trying....things for me are just so hectic with school now and 10hr shifts at work i have not been able to exerise like i need to so i get pretty bummed about that at times...been having issues keeping things down this past week too..don't kno if i'm too tight or just too stressed...doc's appt is tuesday so we will see...

hey mimi!...i am doing ok i guess....lol..no really i'm fine ....it's just been a really slow process for me so far...trying not to be discouraged so early...my doc keeps telling me everyone is different and not to worry...but i am looking for that BiG jumpstart!!...i need that jumpstart so i can be mentally motivated!...i just have been so busy being a mom, student, and working...

....disappeared for a minute...school and work are keeping me well occupied...hope everyone is doing well...stuck at 253...it's been slow, but worth it!...as long as the numbers continue to come down, that's ALL that matters to ME!...#happilybanded!

....6 days after first fill, down 3 more lbs...can't wait to get reach 20 lbs lost..6lbs shy of that short term goal...i'm determined to get there before my next fill: ) ...

...i've been MIA for a minute...doing some last minute traveling before returning back to work next week...anyhow, first fill was today and i am feeling well..no extra weight loss yet, but i am not discouraged...had a tragedy in the family so i know that has a lot to do with my stall ..but it's OK...I'M BACK on TRACK!..

....post op doc's visit went well today....thank GOD my doc let me skip this week of full liquids...i was starved!...lol....11 pounds down...YAY me!..

....i made it past the "what have i done to myself" phase...and i must say, everyday that passes makes me realize this journey will get easier and easier with time...i just have to be patient: ) ...i am happily banded!..

.....1st day post-op...feeling much much better than yesterday...yesterday i felt horrible...today i am on my way...i am extremely thankful to now be banded: ) !!!!

....today is the DAY!...in a few short hours the rush to be banded will be OVER!....i'm READY: ) ....

....went in for my PRE-OP today!!...7 more days!!...this time next week, i'll be in BANDSTER!...YAY:) ...

....10 more days people and i'll be in BANDLAND!!...

...the BiG DAY is creeping up...15 more days!...

thx!

....it's confirmed...JULY11th it is....18 more days: ) ....

.....soooooo about 6 calls and voice-mails later, i finally got a call back from the scheduler..apparently they are backed up about 7 days on scheduling and my date is not set in stone yet, but is supposed to be July 11th now...smh..and that is still waiting to be confirmed by the hospital...WOW is all i can say...at least i know the date is coming soon..i just would have wished it was sooner and in June as i was originally told...still hopeful tho:) ...

...so as of today, i still have no date but the insurance company told me they were given June 30th...i seriously doubt if that's the date though because my Doc only does procedures on mondays and wednesdays...i am reallyyyyyy getting antsy!...I guess i will have to be proactive and aggressive on Monday and initiate some calls of my own..!..i am determined to be banded before July!!!!....

....thx!!...congrats to you also...that time will be here before you know it!!...i know you are anxious and i completely can understand why..lol...i hope time flys by for ya!!...

....signed my LiFE away today(j/k)...still don't know my date yet tho..hmmmmm weird i know....doc says i'm about 2 weeks away from it though...i should be getting a call on Monday from the scheduler.....she also says i should have already started my Pre-OP diet ....another hmmmmmmm cuz i didn't get the MEMO...LOL..i guess i will start tomorrow....anyhow, i am still thrilled, overjoyed, and can't wait!!...#teamJUNEbandsters!!
