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.....

No weight change today
Desiree1970 commented on Desiree1970's blog entry in Desiree's Lap Band Journey
I had a difficult night last night.... I had some milk about an hour before bed and I kept coughing it up. I was so afraid of choking on it.... No more eating or drinking three hours before bed for me :thumbup: -

:w00t:My favorite Atkins Advantage shake is the Creamy Vanilla Shake. That's my lunch today. It's 160 calories 1g sugar and 15 g protein. Hope I can get it all in

The beans and cheese I made last night gave me terrible gas and I was burping up nastiness and had to sleep practically sitting up last night. I know the band is tight and maybe a little swollen from my fill five days ago. I feel is... I mean it feels like a little cramp right below my boobies. I pureed the Chicken vegetable soup I made... yummo has lots of protein and spinich, broccoli, leek, potato... I'm eating softees for a few days so my band will calm down. I've also got a big glass full of ice on my desk. I hope to get down more water today... a few more bites of this soup and I'm done... I try to space them out two minutes to let the food go down. I'm done after 15 minutes Have a great day!

Drinking while eating poll
Desiree1970 replied to K@t's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wait 1 hour after meals and don't drink within an hour before my meals. Right now my band is very tight ( just had a fill 5 days ago) so even when I'm drinking I have to take baby sips and suck on ice chips. -
How often do you vomit/PB?
Desiree1970 replied to mandi78's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My last fill was five days ago and I do feel tightness... but it could also be swelling from the band being tightened. I haven't vomited, but when I don't chew well or have too heaping of a spoon (I'm on pureed soft foods for a couple of days) I'll slime... wich is the hardest thing to clean up good gosh! -
After which fill did YOU really start losing!
Desiree1970 replied to AppleSmith1226's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've lost before, but with this fill things seem different. I had my fill on the 17th and today is the 21st. I've lost SEVEN amazing lbs and hey I'm on my cycle too so I know I'm retaining water. -
UNBELIEVABLE! I'm thrilled about the wieghtloss. I've been watching my food intake... the bummer is that I don't think I'm getting my water all in... I mean I am TIGHT I can take sips at a time and I can still feel the tightness of the band around my stomache so there must still be some swelling... Praise the Lord! he fights all my battles and with Him I know this too will be another mountain that will be conquered. My goal is to hit my two-teens by weekend!!! WhooHOOOOO!

I wowed myself this morning when I got on the scale. Part because my cycle started last night so I expected my weight to go up. Boy was I surprised when the scale read 222.4! Yesterday was great, I really enjoyed the play and didn't go crazy at the Elephant Bar. In fact I made sure to order the mashed potatoes and ate sllllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyyy LOL Of course I got full fast! I ate a few bites for dinner last nite and while my family chowed on chinese I retired to the serenity of my room to watch Cops! I feel wonderful botom line, even with these cramps LOL

Exercise doesn't equal weight loss???
Desiree1970 replied to angelsoul's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Exercise not only helps me, but boosts up my morale. I circuit train at curves. The cool thing is while I'm building lean muscle I'm burning off more fat and tightening up. Sure the scale isn't always kind, but the inches!!! OMG! I've gone from a size 26 to a 14 in the last year. I would say those are fantastic results :biggrin: -
Down 3 lbs from my fill on Thursday!!! I stuck with the liquids and didn't cheat! I so ROCK!

Yesterday after my fill was alright, but I got a maddening headache and didn't get rid of it until this morning... I'm still on liquids. Of course I have my tomato soup but know what? I wanna chew on something badly LOL! Went to Big Lots with Sam on our lunch break and I bought a little food processor... starting tomorrow i'm on soft foods... so it's puree time! They had a lot of Nutrisystem stuff! :biggrin:Sam and I are very supportive of our goals to continue to lose. She's almost ready to have her reconstructive surgery... I'm hot on her hills, but totally wanna drop another 50 before I even entertain the idea of going under again... My goal for today?:tgif: Drink water and get through the rest of the day without chewing LOL! I'll make it.. I'm a little dawncy so I may skip Curves this afternoon, go home and veg and write in my journal. Tomorrow's a brand new day!:w00t:

I absolutely love the bullets too! Have you tried Protein Nectar by Syntrax? I love the stuff, it mixes up wonderfully with water and crystal light!!!

Fill after a lOOOOONG drought
Desiree1970 commented on Desiree1970's blog entry in Desiree's Lap Band Journey
Finally had my third fill at Dr. Liu's office Was able to meet some really nice and cool people in the waiting room. Dad was so sweet... see this morning I tried to eat a bean and cheese burrito from taco bell, knowing damn well my body doesn't like flour tortillas anymore LOL... well as I'm getting off the car slim everywhere in the driveway... I guess dad was grossed out and worried about his little princess because he insisted on driving with me to Orange. I'm glad he did, it's always nice having his moral support, and Daddy is my favorite man in the world... he was so hungry and we were there for hours! I made it up to him by buying him a nice lunch at Portillos. Me? Well I'm on liquids for two days... I want to try for three, but hey no promises here LOL. I did tell Andre that I don't want to go out tonight... I want to see him, but I'm afraid on liquids... I may be a little bitchy LOL... funny thing is we were just talking on the phone and I kept having to beltch LOL all I've had... since the few bites of that burrito... is water, a little grape juice.. a little lemonade... and chicken broth.... I'm determined.... I'll be cool tonight with just the liquids... then tomorrow I'll up it with some Protein nectar... still liquids.. I so would like to believe that even I can do all liquids on Saturday, but hey I'm going to a theater and dinner event... well I won't be eating much if anything at all. Docs said we're gonna get this next 50 lobs off and gave me an UBER FILL! I'm holding them to it! I'm also holding myself to it and I'm starting from scratch and gonna keep hitting CURVES like a banshee LOL WhooooHOOO! -

Not something I want to continue to do, but Wow Huh!? Today's weight is 224.5
