I do have sort of an excuse :o) Back in August or September (I can't remember), I have my Gall Bladder removed. I'm feeling much better :o)
Now the bummer news, I haven't lost any more weight. This is all me though. I am not blaming my band but more my port :o) Hee hee hee Why, you ask? Because that sucker has sifted in such a way that you have to go in at an angle and not straight down :o( I no longer have insurance to cover the x-ray method of doing thing, so I will have to suck it up and modify my eating habits drastically.
I am currently looking for a job that will provide good benefits but it is hard. Why don't people hire me because of my great personality, I mean, common, are skills really that important?.

I like most have the world, have been watching the Olympics and boy, after watching Phelps last night, I have a strong desire to go swimming!!! Oh Yeah!!!
I Got such great replies to my post about medications and weight gain, all very encouraging. I will be taking the following steps to help me get out of this funk….
Finish taking my medication. I will also look at my calories and make sure I do not add any extras. – Thanks Kiona
I will be adding more fresh fruits and vegetables to my daily diet. I mean fresh, fresh, produce section fresh. Have to increase the fiber folks. – Thanks Sid
I will also start tape measuring myself and not go by the scale. I also need to keep a journal of my weight loss and progress. I will also keep a detailed nutrition, water, and exercise journal. I will also increase my protein too. – Thanks Christine

I am now 36 years old. I officially left the 25-35 category and I haven't decided how I feel about. Now that I do think about it, I wouldn't change a thing.
I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months and it is frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to send them on over :o)

SO I had a fill a few days ago and I love it! Not the process of getting the fill but the fact that I am tighter. I am up to 7cc, I wouldn't mind going for another 1/2.
I have noticed that I am tighter during the morning and a lot less tighter in the evening. I wish it was tight all day.
We are still wanting to go to Disneyland this year and I still want to lose another 50-70pounds. Sometimes it feels like I can't lose it fast enough, ARG!
Hope you all had a great 4th of July.
Like I told my son, I love that we were born here, that land of opportunity!!!

It took a couple of days to pass but all is well again.
It didn't make my appointment today :o(
My son wasn't feeling to hot, so we stayed home.
I did reschedule for next week though.
My weight has been very stable, bummer, but the cool part is that my hubby continues to drop the pounds! I am so proud of him. :o)
We are moving again, WooHoo!!! A new opportunity to start over again :o) Yeah! So a heads up, I won't be on for a few weeks.
Take care folks!

I have a fill appointment with Dr. Korn this Monday, and boy do I need it. I went to see Dr Hartman yesterday and the good news is the my Diabetes has been reversed, my cholestorol is great but my blood pressure is still up a bit. Thats awesome! I think I will donate blood now:o)
So anyone have any exciting summer plans?
Happy June 3rd, 2008

I have got to tell you, I got a lot of responses to my Disney questions asked a few days ago. It was very encouraging. O-oh.... flashback.....
You know, as a kid I loved going to Disneyland. I would "abandon" any harsh negative feelings at the gate and go in with a fresh mind. Actually I did that as an adult too. Something about being there, everybody had a good attitude and didn't mind the long lines. I have put on some weight since those day, let me thing...100 lbs to be exact, and at that time, the only tight fit was Star Tours and Indiana Jones. Thank God I had my baby brother next to me, just in case I "leaked" over.
Now that I have received the encouragement to go, I now have to save up the money and pray that the price of gas goes down faster than my weight :o)

Hi Folks!
I am so sorry, I have been ignoring my blog.
It is amazing on how much time I spent before I had my WLS and how much time I don't after. Sorry :o( June is a new month and I plan to keep it up.
Why so busy you ask? Well, right around January or February I went back to school. Yup, I am technically a Junior and, if all goes well, I will have a BA sometime around the beginning of March 2010. WooHoo!!!
Well, I have been stagnant in my weight loss. The last fill I had was about 2 months ago. I do have an appointment to go in on the 2nd week of June. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the weight I have lost already, which is about 53 pound as of this morning. Praise the LORD I haven't shown any weight gain during my weigh-ins at the Doctors office. I can tell it is time for a fill. It takes more to fill me up during my dinner, not a good thing.
I do have a question for you, have any of you been to Disneyland? If so, any problems getting into the rides? I am still 300+ and so is my hubby, I fear getting escorted out because I capsized a boat :o(
THANKS!!!!
Have a blessed day :o)

We did it, we actually did it. We got BIKES!!! I can't beleive it still. And you know what, you really don't forget how to ride one either :o)
I will be honest, I was kind of iffy, being a big girl and all, but you know what, nobody really cares! We are living a healthier life style and it shows. My son also got hit first bike and learned how to ride it the same day! It was really exciting.
I have to go in for another fill this Monday and I am gonna ask the Doc to fill me up really good :o)

Let me just start by saying I fit in a both!!! I know it sounds silly but the other day we went to Del Taco and my son really wanted to sit in a both. I went to wash my hands and when I came back he and my son were sitting there with smiles on their faces. I was actually afraid to sit because I didn't want to get stuck. I swalloed what little pride I had and I sat down. I didn't get stuck and I didn't have to "suck it in"!!! WooHoo!!! I also fit in the both and Ruby River. Amazing.
We are also members of the YMCA. Why the Y? Family things. Our son can go to his rock climning class while I work out on the stairmaster. Yeah!!!
I have a doc appointment next Monday. I am ready for another fill though it hurts. I have noticed I have not lost any weight and I can eat a little more too, I don't like it.
I still have the same goal of losinf 135 lbs by the 1st of December. I will get on those Disney rides, Lord willing, I will :o)
