I have had no weightloss since my last fill.  I went for my second fill yesterday and am hoping to start over. I have been breaking band rules.  Stupid me.  I have been drinking with my meals so it still takes so much for me to get full!  Here I thought I wasn't supposed to drink because the didn't want us to fill up on water!  I had no clue that it was becasue it was pushing the food right through!  Ugg!!  Well anyway off to a new start this weekend.  Once I am back on mushies I will really pay attention to the rules. 

I have a wedding to go to in Oct and would love to be 50lbs lighter by than.  Most of the people who will be there have never seen me over 200lbs.  I hope they never do!!

I really couldn't wait to get my first fill, but OMG it hurt so bad!  It took the RN over 30 minutes to find the place on the port where they stick the fluid in.  My stomach is killing me tonight!  I feel like  did 1000 situps!  Well I hope the next one isn't as bad!  I have to wait 6 more weeks for my next fill. 

I am up 1.5 lbs from my lowest post surgery weight.  Hopefully that will change in the next few days!

I am happy for my loss so far, I'm just a little sad its not still falling off like before!  Mushies have been a blessing and a curse!  I can finally chew my food!!  Yay to that!  My weight loss since mushies .6 lbs!  Oh well, I knew with Lapband I would have a slower loss.  I'm okay with that!  Hopefully this week will go better!

I have been totally obsessed with it since I've been banded!  I think I must weigh myself 10 times a day!  Here is my new goal....  I'm going to try to stay off of the scales except for on Fridays! 

I love baking and eating baked goods!  I was thinking that brownie mix is a liquid... right?  No dont do it!!!   Well I decided to get the old measuring tape out and started filling in my inches!  Since losing 20 lbs I have also lost 17.5 inches!   4 off my waist, 6 off my hips (YAY)  and 2 off my chest and a few other inches here and there!  That made me happy so I decided to just say no to the brownie mix!

I think I'm just going to go to bed early!  That way I wont be tempted anymore tonight!

Okay, maybe not so much hungry but I am so sick and tired of the SOS!  Soup, which was one of my favorite things (3 weeks ago that is), jello, pudding, protein shakes......  I am so over it!  I want a freakin egg!  I want anything with a little texture!  I have almost forgotten how to chew!  The worst part is my DH had pizza tonight!  Last night he had popcorn!  My mouth was watering like crazy and my jello just wasn't cutting it! 

I know I should be thrilled!  I lost 9 lbs in 8 days!  Yay right!  Well right now I feel like I am doing one of those fad diets and only hurting my metabolism.  I am hardly able to eat more than 600 calories a day.  I have been getting about 50 grams of protein in, but thats a little less than I should.  I want meat!  I want something anything!  God please bring on the mushies!!

Okay, I got that off my chest!  I feel a little better now!

Okay so in just 12 hours I will have had my band for 1 week!  Things are going very well!  I feel great!  I am full most of the time!  The hardest thing for me has been getting in enough protien and calories!  I am getting between 500 and 600 cals a day.  I know thats not enough.  I'm hoping after I get cleared for mushies I will be able to eat a little more.  I am down 7lbs since surgery, so thats great!  I finally was able to sleep on my belly last night for the first time since surgery!  So far so good, I hope things keep going this way!

I am currently 32, a mom to 3 handsome little boys and a navy wife.  I have always been "chubby" but since having my kids I have managed to yo yo diet my way my current weight.  I am ashamed of myself.  I lack the self control I need to do this on my own.  I am currently going though all of the required classes, Dr appointments and counceling to get RNY.  I think its the right decision.  I am set for surgery in Jan 09!  I hope everything works out!  I want to live a long healthy life with my husband and my boys.
