Stress Eating...
Oct 12, 2009
Well, my relationship burned and crashed like the Hindenburg-caught fire and destroyed in less than 60 seconds.
A new personal record for me. Such is life. But I'm still losing weight,
. No doubt because my Lap band is forcibly keeping my mouth in check
. Before I lost 80-85lbs I would still be trying to salvage the relationship because I'd believe that no one else would want me. Sometimes I still think that, but not like I used to.
So this time I'm going to say...NEXT!!!

The fill from hell
Sep 16, 2009
Dear Lord, upon my last visit to my surgeon (Dr Steinberg), it was suggested that I have another fill. I think it's my 7th... Anyway, my surgeon has a new partner and since it can take WEEKS to see him, he said to give her a try. Well, I was happy as a pig in sh-- to be able to see her as soon as I did, I think it was the following Fri. I give credit where credit is due. She hit the port the first time, though my port has shifted a little. Kudos Doc :-)
Now this was the Fri b4 Labor Day
and my father, he who hasn't bbq'd the entire year, decides to do a pork shoulder. It was fabulous to say the least and very, very tender. Now usually I can't eat bbq anything, but that pork shoulder was an exception... or so I thought.
I had a fill from the 7th circle of hell. And after I had badly overeaten during the day, that night I was in the 10th circle of hell (1 more than Dante's 9). I hurt for more than a week. Today for the first time since Labor Day I didn't hurt, until I tried to eat some solids. Oh boy...
I can't drink cold liquids, so my favorite beverage-ice water is out. Tap water, warm tea, warm protein drinks only. No juice spritzers. No real soup, broth only, thin broth at that. I could kick my own @ss for doing this to myself.
Oh well, this should be a great month of weightloss

I'm a slacker. Hey, at least I'm not in denial about my shortcomings. On to better things... That would be everything, lmao. I'm down 68lbs, woohoo!
I can but imagine where I'd be had I done the right thing more often than I have, lmao
I still have a way to go. But doggone!!! Right about now I'm pleased as a pig in ... you know.
I continue to see Mr. Wonderful
, mentioned in an earlier blog. He's a good man, just.. a man
sleepy now. next update won't be so long to follow, promise :-) take care, keep on keeping on

it's done

I had my surgery as scheduled on the 6th of May. Stayed in the hospital overnight-they had some GOOD drugs, lmao. Of course i had to walk a couple of times but that was no biggie. I didn't really feel any pain. But i don't have too many memories from the whole thing.
My primary issue right now is that i am FEENIN' for a Coke. I've been able to give them up before. But now I have this unquenchable desire for one. I admit I failed and had a part of one(all I could down). It soon lost it's flavor and quickly became too sweet for me to tolerate.
I'll beat it back

I'm two days out, surg on the 6th. Naturally, I can't tell a difference. But i was able to get into a pair of panties that up until now had been cutting off my circulation, HAW!!
Now that's a kick in the head!!

Believe it or not I met a man. One who likes me the way I am. I won't mention where we crossed paths. It's not one of my shining moments. In fact, I was leaving when we met. During a phone conversation he said he was going through a divorce and was separated. I asked if he and his soon to be ex lived in the same house. He said yes, I said 'then you're not separated. Someone actually has to LEAVE to be separated.' Then I told him 'I don't do married men. They're bad for my karma'. He didn't press the issue. He also didn't stop calling
He's a talker. He makes me laugh... a lot. So we talked. And talked. And talked some more. He would not go away. Not matter what I said to him. And believe me, I talked real greasy to him, lmao. I told him to find someone else to do. He did, but he continued to call almost every day, for over a year. He still does.
But now he's grown on me, d*** him. A marine for 20 years, I wondered why he liked my mean-as-hell, woefully out of shape, fat ass. I concluded he's a masochist (just kidding). Why ask why? Sometimes you just can't explain it.
He's not real crazy about my surgery. And oddly enough, I'm a tad fearful of his reaction to my probable weight loss. But he accepts my decision and has been supportive. I like him a lot
He's a jackass, lmao. But I still like him

I HAVE A SURGERY DATE!!!
I'm so pleased. This is my first blog, but hopefully not my last, lol. Let's see... I started my trek towards lap band surgery about 4-5 years ago. It was the first time I'd heard of it, so I attended a seminar. But of course since it was relatively new-my insurance didn't cover it.
boo...
Fast forward to August 9, 2007. I attended the seminar again. I had since learned that my insurance covered this procedure now. This time i was bound and determined to see this through.
Almost 9 months to the day I'm having surgery, May 6th!!
I'm so happy I could s***, lmao. I'm a little scared but more than anything I'm excited. Excited at the prospect of a new lease on life. I know it won't be easy. But I'm okay with that. Bring it on! I'm ready :-)
