Entries for May 2008

Ok, so I had the surgery on 5/7/08 and have been able to eat most things since the 14th. I get a little pain if i really over do but I am most concerned about the rather large lump where the largest incision is on my abdomen. If that is the band, they it will never be inconspicuous. I expected it to fit deeper, but it seems to be just under the skin. Anyone else have this? My incisions are almost healed and I have been rubbing cocoabutter in. I like the protein shakes, but I really need to cut back...

Ok so this last Saturday 5/24/08 I went in for my 3rd fill and I only lost 3 lbs in 4 weeks at the 2nd fill I was 177 lbs, so I am now at 174 lbs... That is not that much but at least I'm not gaining.

My bigest problem is stay on an exercising routine. I exersice for a couple of days and then stop. I can't seem to stick to it..

At least I stick to the diet for the most part. But the exercise I just dont know how to get motivated.

The holiday was a little tough. We went to a friends party and there wasn't much for me to eat on the lc phase. We had taken some fried chicken and I pulled the crust and skin off and ate that. I DID have a small piece of cheesecake; no crust or topping. Considering I didn't eat a whole lot yesterday, I think I'm fine.

Today I think I had even fewer carbs I need to check fitday.

AND...I rode my stationary bike for 30 minutes. Something I hope to start doing every day....

Memorial day weekend...beautiful weather and i was feeling pretty good. I decided to take my FIRST walk outside in years. Normally i walk to the car and call it a day.

I was blasting Pussycat Dolls in my ipod and everything was going ok--i was hurting, but it was tolerable--until "the hill" and not just any hill but a freak hill that almost killed me. There was tons of skinny girls walking around so i couldn't roll down it crying..i had to act like it was no sweat. ...

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I updated my blog,

Now, it's been about two years. There have been plateaus but at least no gains. I really should have gotten fills earlier. For some reason, I thought that the band itself would be enough. Duh! Silly me.

I reached within 5 lbs of my goal weight in Dec 07. I have stayed there for months, so I'm calling GOAL! I still weight myself daily because I don't want the *creep* to happen. If I can stay between 145...
