Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! long time since I posted.
Nov 08, 2009
about a year ago I got an email about my upcoming 25th high school reunion and all information was going to be going through facebook. I joined and I have to admit I have been addicted ever since......lol. I have found many friends that I lost contact with over the years. On another note I am doing well I am now down to 211.8 lbs it's very slow going but I'm happy that it keeps going in the right direction.

MAD AT MYSELF
Oct 18, 2008
It's been a month and 5 days since I posted. I have been away from the boards because I was mad at myself for not having lost any weight. Then with about a week to go before I went to the dr. the scale finally moved, all be it by only 3lbs. I had a fill on Wednesday October 15 and since then according to my scale I have lost 5lbs. I need to get to the gym and I need to eat enough calories and protein I am positive that it's why I didn't lose that much weight last month. I need to post new photos since I have now lost a total of 55 lbs since surgery. I do feel great!
SCALE IS MOVING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sep 13, 2008
The scale is finally starting to move with me going to the gym almost everyday this week. I had feared for awhile there that I may be permanently stuck at 242..........lol. Thanks to my son who has been pushing me to go to the gym now that I can exercise pain free the scale is moving again. I am currently only doing cardio because I'm afraid to do any weight or strengthening exercises yet as I don't know if my back will hold up to that yet.
FINALLY!!!!!
Sep 10, 2008
For the first time since late August I have gotten back down to 242. I hope that this means that it will continue to go down and not climb back up. I no longer have the nausea I think that was my new meds. With the kids getting back to school last week I haven't had any time to myself, I have been running every where getting things that they need.
JUST WRITING
Aug 31, 2008
Well since the 23rd of August I have not lost anything infact I gained I went up to 246. I am now back down to 243. I still have another pound to go to get back to where I was in August. I'm not upset or angry and really not even confused. I know that it's possible to go up and down during weight loss. I guess I just needed to write it down somewhere and see it in black.
3RD FILL
Aug 21, 2008
I had my 3rd fill on Wednesday. Today is the first day that I can go back to eating regular foods. I didn't have any problems on soft foods. The only problem I am experiencing is nausea and I'm not sure if it's from the medication I am taking or if it's from the fill.
FIRST TIME IN 19 YEARS!
Aug 16, 2008
For the first time since having my oldest daughter 19 years ago yesterday. I weigh 245 I am so happy with my progress right now. I knew I would lose weight but I never set any goals or had any expectations of how quickly I would lose weight. I just follow the band rules as closely as I can. I also know that at some point down the road the weight loss will slow down. Hopefully next week I can start going back to the gym once I start taking the second cymbalta pill as I am almost pain free now.
ALMOST PAIN FREE
Aug 14, 2008
For the first time since mid october I am almost pain free. I saw my pain management doctor for my back. At the end of the visit he said because I have the lap-band he was going to give me a drug that hasn't been shown to make you gain or lose weight and is not an NSAID. He told me that he was prescribing cymbalta because it has a pain blocker in it. I am to start out taking 1 pill for the first week then up it to 2. The morning after I took it I felt significantly less pain until this evening when I had some break thru pain in my back. It's nothing thats unbearable I have had pain at about a 4 or a 5 since December now it's been down to a 1 since starting cymbalta.
I FINALLY DID IT!
Aug 10, 2008
I hate having my picture taken and you can tell in the pictures that were taken pre-op. I have finally gotten around to adding them, I guess it took me so long because I didn't like how I looked. I still don't but I know I look better now than I did before. Maybe someday I will like to have pictures taken again.
