Entries for June 2008

Okay. I have to stop there for a minute because this interface is driving me batty. Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm on my period and started the straight liquid diet again, yeah again.

Yesterday I went in for my weigh-in and only lost 2 pounds. I knew it was going to be next to nothing, better than nothing, but not by much.

So I asked Dr. Machado to write out a contract for me and have me sign it. I told her I'm kind of like a puppy who needs her face shoved into...

Why? Oh Why? can't I lose like everyone else with the LAP-BAND^®. I just don't seem to lose. I have played with the same five pounds since Feb. I do try and I know I'm not eating nearly as much as I did before the band. I must just make bad choices. Yesterday I had weight control oatmeal for breakfast, lunch I had a panni forzen sandwich the light kind, supper I had meatloaf and corn. I had for a snack yesterday small cup of rice pudding, 90 calories. That's not that much. I didn't excerise...

I've moved the training schedule to 3 days a week (from 2).
I've taken in a few pairs of shorts (and need to loss the stuff I don't fit in any more.)
I'm finding I don't feel hungry most of the time.
Scale is moving down-slowly.
Cholesterol went down by about 100 points.

I have to work on exercising on non trainer days.

I think that is good progress.

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op. I was doing good and lost 20 lbs. Then last week on one of my weigh ins...I was up .4 and then the next one up .6 and then the next one up .2 and the next one up .4. What gives? Up 1 1/2 lbs and I haven't change my eating. I'm still sipping on my protein shake throughout the day. I don't eat between meals. I'm more hungry now, but I just sip on my shake. I'm freaking out here. I kept telling myself, I was ready for a fill, but Dr. says it might be up to 3 to 4...

I just got back from my 2nd psych eval. The doc said that he didn't see anything that should keep me from having the surgery. I told him that since I have 5 referrals left to go and see him within 1 year that I would like to use those if they are needed. I think he was happy I said that considering he said he was going to mention that himself. I have no problems in going to see him if I need it. I know from experience that if I let my emotions dictate how I act then there will be some serious...
