Have I actually hit my sweetspot or am I losing toooooo FAST? It's only been two in a half weeks and I've gone from 228 to 213.5! That's 15 lbs!

I don't enjoy eating, I'm throwing up and just not very happy.... it seems as if nothingwill stay down or that I've grown an imulse to throw up ... I don't like that and think I need an unfill or perhaps to visit my doctor for something to take for this cough.. I swear this cold seems to be holding on for dear life and I'm just sick of it :rolleyes2:

I'm 60 lbs down, but know that I know I will want to have corrective surgery... I see droopiness and stretching in my lower stomache, arms... inner thighs and a little in my booty. I have a small apron, so I'll let me PS tell me wich option is best for me... I'm trying to tone my upper belley wich just wants to stay put! darnit!.. I may or may not want to have my arms done... I kinda believe I can tone them a little more... but my girls, my poor poor girls... have just given up the fight and they are DROOPY :w00t: While I'm thinking Breast lift... I need an implant to fill up the hollowness... and nipple reshaping.... I know TMI huh? LOL
-
It's so funny to me how my tummy is hanging... not funny ha ha, but funny hmm? My "pouch" use to be solid hard, but now it hangs and is spongey soft. I know that I'll need some type of surgery to correct it... Perhaps the pannectomy? I haven't had kids yet and don't want the tightening of a tummy tuck.

I slept so much better last night! I think what helped is I stayed up later... I went to bed around midnight after staying up to watch wrestling... I know I'm wierd LOL... I had a little burp this morning that woke me up, but nothing with the up chuck... I have to get rid of this cough... I caught a friends cold a few weeks ago and this caugh is trying to take up residence in my body and I'm just not having it LOL.... I am feeling very lonely... I know that things with Dave were a farced and he took advantage ofme wether he wants to believe it or not.... I haven't talked to Andre in days and Joel? Well.... I think it's fair to say he's not interested. Isn't that funny.... three guys were after me and now they've fallen off the face of the earth it seems.... maybe I just need to go this alone and if Mr. Him comes along he does.... it just sucks not having someone to share my life with.... but no PITY PARTIES here! I mean I'm at 217.4 Baby!!!!:rolleyes2:

It's been a week for me since my last fill. Yes I'm tight, but baby, if I couldn't even swallow my own spit I would run back for a fill without batting my eyes :rolleyes2: Each fill has been a little more challenging... I kinda feel the band adjusting because today I drank more water than I have been able to in a week. The scale has been crazy! I was 228 when I went in for my feel 7 days ago and today I weighed in at 118! I call that LOVELY!

Signs when you are full ..I hiccup
Desiree1970 replied to readytoloselbs's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yep the hiccup is a great indicator, even for drinking. I notice if I drink too much too soon... usually a gulp... Ill start to hiccup and I hate it because if I need to cough (I don't burp up) liquid will come up through my nose... not very comfortable. -
Thanks I realley need to look at it as a reminder too... I've been hiccuping like crazy :crying:
-
I had a little shoulder and back pain following my surgery... it was the gas from the surgery and will shortly subside. I will still bring my concerns to my doctor :thumbs_down: Congrats on your new journey!!

I'm so sorry love, I know exactly how that feels. When we eat too fast or don't chew thoroughly... or my God, even when we do we will often get the HSS's as I call 'em. Hiccups, Stuck, and Slime's. I'll share my embaressing moment because I try my hardest not to wierd or freak my dad out at all. He's a United States Marine, but such a pancy about anything :ohmy:"sick related" LOL. When I was leaving for my adjustment last week, I had trouble with a bean and cheese burrito stuck (flour tortilla is my enemy). While getting out of the car I coughed (I don't get down with the PB... I usually cough) and slimed all over me, all over my car seat and then all inthe driveway.:redface: I mean how do I play that off as cool when my dad is standing there watering his roses? But dad did play it pretty cool, he asked if I was okay and while I went in the house to change, he hosed down the driveway and cleaned up my car! NOW THAT'S A FANTASTIC DAD! Then Dad said he was going with me, he didn't want me driving to Orange County alone. :hurt:

I'm a little on the tired side.... I know this is not very good and I need to seriously take my vitamins... I'm naughty about that. If I was to self "doctor" myself, I would say my iron might be low.... Still I'm down 11 lbs from a week ago, not bad huh? I slept a little better last nigh not too many episodes with the coughing up of residual food... I even think I took in more water yesterday. My skin is snapping back, so I'm not dehydrated thank God. I have a serious craving for Watermelon, so I think I'll swing by Vons this morning and get some for breakfast yumoh!:w00t:

Good Morning 219.7!!!
Desiree1970 commented on Desiree1970's blog entry in Desiree's Lap Band Journey
Wow 219!!!! A welcoming number, now I'm finally in the two-teens!!! Had trouble drinking water again last night and coughed up water while trying to sleep gain.... tight adjustment.... Will try tonight to not eat or drink three-four hours before sleep.. so most likely I'll probably just drink a protein shake before I leave the office at five... let you know how it goes... need to go to curves so I don't know.....
