16 Weeks Post-Op...Loving Life...Need to go shopping!

Posted 09-13-2009 at 08:00 PM by LauraKey

I have tried on EVERYTHING in my closet. I have a wonderful dilemma....NOTHING FITS!

All my dresses hang funny, my jeans are baggy and my shirts are falling off the shoulders! I have had to buy new underwear and bras to boot. Right now they just have to make due because I am not buying many clothes only to wear them for a few weeks then get more. The thrift shops are good and I have been hitting those up and I have a friend who is size 16 that has given me a lot...

Hi Family!

Today is my 17 week post-op date.

As I sit and reflect on my progress I can't help but to be grateful. As I see the numbers go down on the scale, I know it will be the last time I see those numbers as long as I continue to do what I need to do. Eat right, exercise, take care of myself.

I always heard people say...the band is a tool. Now I can really and truly say I understand that. It is not a miracle worker, an overnight fixer, a cure-all....

It's week 18 post-op! Still feeling quite the fine lady!

It's starting to get cold here in Denver and so I picked up a couple of sweaters. It's the first time I have worn a sweater and not felt like a "pig in a blanket".

I had a rough night last night. Did not sleep much at all. I ate a hard boiled egg for breakfast that morning and it all went crazy downhill after that. It did not get stuck or cause me slime, but everything else the rest of the day just...

Week 19 Post Op...New Experiences...Laura Key

Posted 10-04-2009 at 07:21 PM by LauraKey

I took a mini-vacation this week with my husband. Went to Lake Navajo on the boarder of New Mexico and Colorado. How relaxing it was! I did not exercise this week -- I SLEPT! And with that being said....I still lost a pound. So now I am down 70lbs.

My jeans are loose again and I could not be happier.

I had some time to reflect on my journey and I have to say I am one happy woman. I really think I will be under 200 by the end of the year.

Week 20 Post-Op....Setback...Sigh!

Posted 10-10-2009 at 10:47 PM by LauraKey

This week brought on a new challenge! Had to have 1cc removed from my band. So now I am back to 4.9cc's in my 10cc band. My sweet spot is 5.9cc and I have established that pretty early. I am one of the lucky ones who don't really need too much in my band.

Well...here we go.

On Friday I had a Real Estate seminar I had to attend. It started at 9am and ended at 1pm. They served breakfast and I knew they had some things that were on my approved list. So I grabbed some...
