Just when I was about to throw the towel in and accept the fact that Lap Band did not work for me, I finally got restriction! YAY!!! I am so miserable and excited. I finally can only eat small portions. I can drink plenty of water, but can only eat small amounts at a time. This is the first time since I've had my Lap Band placed. I went on Friday 2/26/10 to a different doctor which is closer to my home and work and got my third fill. I just love this new doctor. He took his time with me and explained exactly how I should be eating. I've lost two pounds since Friday. I think I am finally on the right road now. Please pray for me as I will for you.

I have been away for a while because I was feeling discourage. My weight loss is moving at a very slow pace. I have lost about 30lbs. I have notice a big difference in my clothes. I am in 22s and even some 20s. The scale just seem to be moving very slowly. I've added some updated pictures and I seem to see the difference. I have gotten more determined now. I will be going for my third fill at the end of this month. I mean to make this work for me. God Bless.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. My Christmas was great. I was very blessed. It was one of my best Christmas in a long time. I enjoyed my food and drinks. I know I was being a bad girl but I enjoyed myself anyway. I really didn't have much restriction, so oh well you can figure out the rest. Today I went for my second fill and was totally shocked when my doctor had told me I lost three pounds. I wasn't to excited, only 3lbs in a whole month, but hell, the way I ate that was very good. I feel tight although I am doing liquids now, It feels much different from my first fill. I really hope I have more restriction this time. Whether I do or don't I am on this now. No more cheating. It's back to my diet now. I've enjoyed the holidays and no it's really time for me to be serious. I am really loosing inches more so than pounds. I was in a 24 when I had the surgery, and now my 22s are getting big. I am excited about that. I will post new pictures as soon as I get a new camera. I hope each and everyone have a very prosperous New Year!

I had my first fill on November 30 and since then according to my scale at home, I've lost about 4 lbs. I don't think that is bad, but I believe the weightloss has come from my medication and not the lapband. I still don't have much restriction and that disappoints me. I called today and my surgeon is on vacation, so I will get my second fill on December 28. I will just have to stick to a strick diet especially during Christmas. I know I can do it because Thanksgiving wasn't that bad. I want this weight off of me. I am tired of it. I now weigh 295. I will be glad to at least get out of the 290s. I can say that I am loosing inches though. All of my clothes are loose now and I can actually fit into those that were too small. My breast are becoming a nightmare. When I turn over in bed, the decide to follow after me. Wow what a mess!

Well today was my big day, I had my first fill. I hadn't gained any weight during these past 6 weeks, but I haven't lost either. I don't feel bad with the holiday being just a few days ago. I am on liquids for the rest of today and tomorrow. I hope this fill help. Well it's late and time for me to go home. I am so sleepy, such a long day.

Well today is the day before the big Thanksgiving feast. Just think it's four days before my first fill. I have cooked most of my Thanksgiving dinner before coming to work this evening. I got on my scale and I have lost the four pounds I had gained. Praise God. I just couldn't think of getting on that scale Monday and have gained weight. Now lets just pray I make it through Thanksgiving. I think I will be fine because I prepared all the food myself and I am really tired of looking at it. I will eat in moderation. Food is not that important to me anymore. I am more excited about having my family with me tomorrow. Hope all is well with everyone here at OH. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

I've recently found out that I am in Bandster's Hell!!! It is truly hell...I've gained 4 pounds. I am supposed to be loosing not gaining. I can really eat anything I like and you talking about being hungry. I will be so happy when I get my first fill. I am beginning to wonder if I should have had RNY instead. I don't want to have gained weight when I go to my appointment on November 30. The devil is a lie! It is my goal to loose the 4 pounds I 've gained plus 6 more. It's on now. I am offically back on a diet. I didn't go through this to gain weight. Keep me in your prayers.

Well today I still weighed the same. So I decided to get moving. I walked 2 1/2 miles Yay for me!!! I feel so good about myself. It's own now. I will be doing that same walk tomorrow.

I am so tired of Smoothies, protein drinks and popsicles. I don't care if I ever see them again, yet I am sitting here drinking a smoothie now. I am on soft foods this week. Eating my baked fish was truly Heaven! I realize that I really don't have a lot of restrictions and have to force myself not to overeat. I am scared that I will have gained weight by the time I go on Nov 30 for my first fill. I get hungry and can eat more than I thought I would be able to. I pray for control. I weighed myself today and I still weigh 296. Haven't gained nor lost. However, I will be placing my scale in my garage because everytime I step into the bathroom, there I go jumping on it. I am ready to really start loosing the weight. God is truly amazing, because I used to wake every morning with some type of pain. 20lbs gone and the pain has gone with. Glory be to God!

I weighed myself yesterday and the scale read 296lbs. I am truly out of the 300s. I am down 19lbs. I will be so happy when I get my first fill so that I can see an even bigger progression. I am able to fit some of my clothes that had gotten too little. I am going to win this battle for sure. I have a new best friend name GasX! We go everywhere together and have conquered the gas problem. I feel that there is truly a brighter day ahead.

Also, I am a new grandmother for the second time. I have a beautiful grandson born 10/28/09.
