Need to get back to excercise
Jan 29, 2011
I am doing good tracking my food and the I lost a pound or so this week. I still feel like I am not losing fast enough and know I need to add more movement to burn some of the calories so I can lose faster. I am staying between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. I was hoping to stay closer to 1200 then 1500 but, I am struggling do to snacking and chocolate craving. I had a major stuck episode on some pork roast that looked nice and moist but, it wasn't and that was miserable. Looking forward to a better week coming up .

Jus checking in
Jan 25, 2011
I am just checking in to say I am still logging my food on nutrition tracker and not doing too bad, trying for 1200 but, getting some up to near 1500 a day. I should still love on 1500 hundred but, I got to do better. I am thinking it is PMS time. not sure but, the cravings for chocolate and ice cream us ally are strong at the time. I am doing well getting in my water but, still not really exercising. I need to get zumba tapes or something I can do at home when it snows and I can't get out. I wanna do the curves/zumba thing but, I think they are only offering once or twice a week at the local curves and I don't wanna pay extra for it. I know it would help though if I could get back into a routine of exercising.

Once again it has been too long
Jan 23, 2011
It has been way too long since I blogged. I am back on here logging my food and trying to blog becuase as good as my band is, my compulsion to eat is winning at times. I haven't been losing weight. Over Christmas I gained 4 pounds. I have since lost some of that. I had some fluid out becuase I was a little too uncomfortable while eating but, now I found it is not tight enough. I had half the fluid that was taken out put, back in and still not tight enough. I will call tomorrow and see if I can have the rest put back in.
I do know however much I know about how much to eat and what to eat, or not eat, I really can not be trusted to do the right thing on my own without tracking my food I can easliy trick myself into thinking I am doing good but, the scale knows and my clothes know.
Now it is back to basics and back to keeping up with my freinds who know what I am going through and who will support me, even if they don't know my ame the peopel on here and you tube and bariatric tv are vital to my success.

Well I haven't kept up with my blogging as much as I had planned but, I am going to keep trying. Weightloss has been slow but, I now have the right fill and am losing slowly but, surely. This week of candy and fun will make it hard and I still am having a hard time during TOM. I lose 2 to 4 pounds then gain a couple durin TOM and then have to lose those same pounds again. It need to step it up and recommit. I know keeping my food tracker would help I just haven't been doing it. I may have to force myself to do it again even if it is just during the week of TOM.
I am a size 16 and fitting them better. I have like no clothes becuase they are all baggy and I gave my sister and mom the size 18s because my sister is down to an 18 and can use them. She is losing slower and keeps yo yoing too. She hates food tracking more then I do. I hope she starts losing at a faster pase so she doesn't get too discouraged.

It has been a hard summer!
Aug 16, 2010
It has been a long hard summer for sure! I haven't kept up with my blog or my food log. I haven't posted on the site for a couple of months either. My husband and I have split up and I haven't lost a pound. I had 2 fills and now may be a little tight. I am waiting to see if I need an unfill or I just need to make sure I eat slow and chew well. I have thrown up a coupld of times and pb'd several times as well. I had my last fill 10 days ago. The nurse at the WLS center says if I vomit again I need to come and get checked for an unfull.
I think I will be fine if I don't eat too much or too fast. I have been making bad choices and eating from boredom and stress so now I really have to crack down. I didn't have this surgery just to keep doing the same old thing I did beofre so, I need to remember the rules and make good choices.

Slowly but surely

Things are moving pretty slowly. I am not losing pounds but, I am feeling a differnce in my clothing. I actually bought size Large Old Navy shirts.Can YOU Believe it! That is amazingy to me. I haven't bought anything with out an X in the size for a very long time. Last time I bought Old Navy I was a size XXL. The pants were a 20 and now I fit the 18s I had but coudn't wear last summer. I can fit the 16s but not comfortably yet. I am wearing mostly 16's from other brands.
I am also still going to the Y 3 days a week. I did water arobics and pilates so far. Tomorrow is Gentle Yoga. I need to add some weights somehow but, I don't want to over do it too soon. I will get used to going then add the weights and maybe zumba. It would help if I met some friends there. Then it would be less like work and more like a social visit.

We joined the YMCA on Monday and have been there twice so far. I tried 2 water classes and one was a bit advanced and one was way too easy. I am going to try the midrange class if I can make it there at 9AM. I was going to do gentle yoga today but, the car acted up and I was late so I went to water class. I am not losing weight I keep going from 210 to 207 and back again . I must learn to stay of the scale for at least 5 days. I am eating ok, could do better. I can't understand why I am not losing though. I am surely not .going over 1500 calories even on my bad days. I try to stay under 1200. I was losing on 1700 pre op so why wouldn't I be losing on 1200? Doesn't make sense.
I am wearing size 16 most of the time and fitting me nicely. That is very encouraging.

My second fill helped a bit
May 11, 2010
I am doing better with the 2nd fill. I feel less hungry and making some better choices. I am still not losing much. I was 207 yesterday. I still am not keeping my food journal but, I am trying to keep within my eating plan. My clothes are fitting better and size 16's are fitting me more often. I have a lot more energy then I did 6 months of go, that is for sure. I am excited for my next fill as I am sure with each one it will be a little easier to make good choices as I won't feel so hungry and good habbits take hold.

Sencond fill done yesterday
May 03, 2010
We had our second fill yesterday. I hope this one helps. I asked doctor Ceppa how many fills does it typically take to get to the "sweet" spot. He said for "small" girls like Karen and I it usually takes 4 or 5 fills. Yikes I hope I don't have to wait another 2 or 3 months to get the restriction I need to lose better. I lost 2 pounds since my last fill. I honestly haven't made great choices because I am hungry a lot more then I expected to be. I also haven't exercised do to fibro pain and I had to stop curves due to change in insurance. I got the insurance again and plan to go back to curves next week.
I also know I must start keeping a better food journal. It sucks to have to write down everything I eat but, it keeps me honest and I obviously haven't made my new lifestyle changes germinate yet.

The scale just won't move. I am hoping the fill I get on Monday will help me be less hungry and I need to start going back to curves.
