6 months out today! (6/20/08)

well today marks the official 6 months out! im down 101 lbs according to the scale. you would think id be totally excited and all right? well today i realized all my restriction has totally left the building along with my will power. i ate a whole arby's chicken salad and it kinda freaked me out. then this afternoon i started having sharp pains in my stomach so guess im going to have to have it checked out so we will see what i did this time.

24 weeks post op today! (6/5/08)

lol ok this is a little more just as a reminder for me. today i am 24 weeks out and 96 lbs gone forever!!! averages to exactly 4 lbs a week and im totally excited. today i decided to make a committment to myself. i have been falling off the wagon forever now (and who knows how i still lost 18 lbs last month) but for the next 4 weeks till my next appt on 7/2 im going to totally focus on myself. track track track! so wish me luck

14.73% gone! (3/25/08)

ok well heres the deal i was totally bored so i thought id figure out what precentage of weight ive lost so far. im soo anxious for my 4th fill becuase i really think this will be the one. As of to date..... ive lost 14.73% of my weight in just a few months!!!! i really didnt expect that number to be so high but after seeing that, it has helped motivate me even more. im down 67 lbs and my bday is in a little over 4 months so my new mini goal is to be down 100 lbs by aug 9th.... that would make my bday :)

3 months ago today!!! (4/20/08)

well alrighty today is officially my 3 month bandaversery!!! down somewhere around 62 lbs and totally lovin it! havent had any real restriction going on yet but i go for my 4th fill next friday so i hope this will be the one. I saw my pcp and he perscribed me some phentramine to help control my hunger and it has helped some. Ive also really started kickin the exercize into gear and just waiting on the warmer weather to get outdoors. only 3 months and i feel im doing pretty good so far and it can only get better right?

let the rollercoaster begin!!! (2-13-08)

ok the rollercoaster has started.... for the first week after my first fill i could hardly eat anything and it was great!!! after the first 8 days or so i had 3 days where i feel like i didnt even have the band and i admit i totally lived up to it. i figured i wont get to eat like this anymore so what the hell lol. well now its back to the way it was before. i had probly a cup of chilie last night about 12 hours ago and im still not hungry. i was completly stuffed off that for at least 6 hours. so i wonder what will come my way over the next 5 days before my second fill.....

hmm (1-24-08)

alright im a little confused now for the past 2 weeks i been able to eat what ever i want as much as i want, but starting yesterday if i eat a small amount of something i feel full within minutes. even today i had one piece of chicken and was soo stuffed. could this possibly be restriction? This has totally taken me by suprise and my first fill is in 10 days. I may not even need a fill yet but we will see how it goes.

Its over!! or just beginning?? (1/2/08)
