July Butterflies Master Thread

[crzytchr 3]

I haven't posted any pics in while, because I am not near my goal. I don't even have a REAL before.

The one I have here is 1 month post op and I had already lost 20lbs. THAT tells you why I don't have a before...Jeez. In the "before" I am wearing size 6T blue LB right fit jeans. In the "during" I have the same style jeans, but they are a 1T which is the smallest LB makes. The shirt in the before is a 3X and the "during" is an Old Navy Large. I can't believe I am posting this... It seems I am having the same problem kimaly is having...my boobs aren't going anywhere!!!

Girl, you look great! I think July Butterflies have good reason to be proud.

My weight is stuck. I go to the dr for a fill on thursday, but I am not sure if I need one. We will see.

I am also going to Dr Davis' support group on Tues night. I finally have someone to go with me. Last month there were about 25 in the group. All of them were bypass except for me. I think one had her band removed and one had a revision to a bypass because her port was infected. The diet is the same.

I am in the middle of a killer plateau. I just MUST get off my behind and MOVE. I joined the gym, but right now the dang thing is so busy when I can go that I hate to wait for the machines. I am certain, however, that most people will quit going by March. That is what the lady at the gym says happens every year...so until then, I wait or don't go.:smile: I may also go in for a tiny fill. I don't want a lot, maybe just .25ccs. I am extremely afraid of becoming too tight, but I find I can eat a little more than I want.

I know what you mean about being too tight. It is a miserable feeling. I like tweaks......like.25 at a time. My doctor likes doing it that way. I know self pay probably would like to have bigger fills and fewer of them. My insurance has been paying except I have to pay a small amount. I just don't think I have ever reached a sweet spot. Right now, I am in a maintenance spot. I don't get full......I just eat by the calorie amount.

No, change here.......I haven't weighed......I just feel it. I did make a cherry cobbler and of course ate some. Okay, another week . I don't have any food events this week so maybe I will lose a lb.

My weight fluctuates up and down one pound, so I never change the ticker. Until I decide to exercise regularly it isn't going to drop. Luckily, I guess I don't overindulge toooooo much to make it go up. But believe me, I do indulge. Do Reeses Peanut Butter pumpkins, trees, hearts, eggs, ring anyone's bell? They are the work of the devil!!! When I walk down the isles they whisper to me "buy me, I am soooo good":scared2:

My Tuesday weigh in: 2lbs lost this week. I'm really happy with that and please don't get me wrong when I say I just don't understand it. Last week I did everthing I should and lost nothing, This week I ate a whole box of chocolate covered cherries and drank 3 skinny cosmos. Sometimes this band just fustrates me:cursing: I just can't seem to figure it out. But a loss is a loss and I'll take it.
