Bad Fibro Day for me!
Apr 26, 2010
I am having a really hard time with TOM and Fibromyalgia. I am in horrible pain and not losing any weight at all. I am lucky if I don't gain at this point. I am one week from my next fill. I really hope it gives me better restriction. (I know not the best word for it). I am eating less then before but, struggling to make the right food choices and not good at planning still. I am trying to to get freaked out about the lack of weightloss but, that too is hard. People who know about the surgery keep asking if I am skinny yet. Most people think all weightloss surgery makes you pretty much "instantly" skinny. I don't think anyone in my family who isn't banded doens't have a clue what goes it takes to lose weight. I am struggling now but, I know I am still going in the right dirrection. It is just going to take me a lot longer to get where I wanna go then I had hoped.

Journaling is helping
Apr 21, 2010
I have been journaling my food this week and am back down to 209 after being up to 212. I called the WLS center yesterday to see if I can get a fill any sooner but, Dr. Ku had no openings. They said they would call if something opened up. My next fill appointment is May 3rd. I guess that isn't too far off now that my numbers are going back down. I am feeling good and have more energy then I did 30 some pounds ago. I can't wait to see how I feel with another 50 some off. I will feel like a million bucks!

No restriction
Apr 19, 2010
I am hungrier after having my fill then I was before hand. I am going back to writing my food journal. I believe that tool was the single most helpful tool for me. (other then the band itself) I have my second fill scheduled for May 5th and am hoping that gives me more hunger dimming then I have now. I haven't lost any weight in a while and am heading back to curves this week since my insurance is active once again to cover it.

I did it!
Apr 11, 2010
Today I bought a size 16 shorts at goodwill and they fit nice! I tried them on when I got home to see how far I had to go before the fit and I was shocked to button them easly! I am down to 209 and feeling good. I am back on track with my eating but, I still haven't been writing everything down. If I start gaining or stall I will have to be better about writing down everything.

My first fill
Apr 05, 2010
Today Karen and I had our first fills. It was painless. It only took one poke and he hit my port right away. It took a bit of poking to get to Karens port. I got 4cc in my 10cc band. I have to have liquids today and back to regular food tomorrow. I have lost 15 pounds since my pre op surgery appointment. The doctor was very happy with that. I wasn't too impressed LOL but, 15 pounds in 5 weeks is nothing to sneeze at either.

Wow it is hard not to weigh everyday!
Mar 29, 2010
I have been trying hard to not to weigh myself every day. It was so fustrating when the scale didn't seem to move or if there were a day where I God forbid went up a little. I will weigh in tomorrow before going to AC. Hopefully I have went down at least a pound. I signed back up for Gateway so I can start back to curves after I get clearance from Dr. Ku. I think we are going to try and join the Y again too so I can do strength and maybe water classes.

I am down to 211.2!
Mar 27, 2010
Hi, I am down to 211.2 and feeling pretty good. I am under a bit of stress and fighting head hunger. I am still eating pretty decent.. I think I am doing better then I thought. I am anxious to get a fill and get to my sweet spot. This week we are going on vacation to AC and I am a little worried about that. The buffets are amazing and I used to eat the at least one a day while we are there and I would eat until I felt sick. I can not do that. I will most likely get free buffet and I will eat there but, I will still stick to the plan. I do not want to pay for food that I can't eat but, if they give me free ones I will feel better about eating less. Is that stupid or what! That is how it is though. My hubby is good at encouraging me and celebrating every little victory with me. Anyway I am looking forward to vacation and winning big money in AC.

One more pound down!
Mar 24, 2010
oK I think the stall is over. Thank God! I am feeling pretty good and I am starting to see a difference in the way my clothes fit. I got out summer clothes that hadn't fit last year and the fit losely now! It feels good but, I feel like I have always been this size becuase size 18 is what I was for a long time. If I had been honest with myself I had went up to at least a 20 sometime a 22. I actually had refused to by that size and just wore my "stretchy clothes" for a long time. I am loving some of the jeans and other non stretch stuff I had packed up. I even fit some size 16 clothes that my neice gave me so Happy Day. I am progressing!

Ok the scale moved one pound!
Mar 23, 2010
It finally moved. One pound but, I will take it. I also mesured and I have lost several inches. That made me feel better. Some of my shirts are lose and pants I couldn't fit last summer fit good now. I should go down to a size 16 very soon. That would be great. I was busting out of my 18's and wearing mostly stretchy pants or size 20 if they didn't have stretch.

Another day of no weightloss!
Mar 21, 2010
I can't figure it out. How do you eat less then 1,000 calories a day and not lose weight! I was losing weight on 1700 calories before surgery. Why isn't the scale moving? I just don't get it. I have been more active then I had been do to the lovely weather we have been having. I can't figure it out but, I am going to keep at it. I get my 60+ protein and my 8+ glasses of water. It has to move sooner or later.
