My Lap-Band Journey

Loco- Im doing okay. A drug rep brought us lunch today- Subway and for some reason I took two bites of the bread and realized by the second bite I can't do untoasted bread..ended up laying in a empty exam room for 15 or so minutes trying to move it through so I didnt vomit. Other then that no recent weight loss just inches.
 
update:


Went for a fill today and was given 1cc. But I am also missing 1cc...:glare:

The surgeon said the fluid can sit in the curves of the band....

So at this visit I have a total of 3cc but it should be 4cc.....

I go back in 4 weeks to see if I lost any more....

ugh..

Sounds like you are getting Obama care first hand. That would be a endless loop of buffoons telling you chit that you know is goofy.
Hang in there Lith.. You are gonna get to be where you want to be with your weight. As you know it doesn' t happen as fast - or as smooth as you like.. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN.
:respect:
 
Way to go! I have been watching but not commenting on it so you don't obsess on it. Slow steady progress is the best way. Be patient.:flowers:
 
Hello All- sorry I have not been in here posting for awhile Ive been trying to survive the big boss and find a new job..... which.... I did!!!:clap: I will start 12/20. With a $3 pay raise and milage reimbursement....

On another note I am doing well with my lap band... Had a fill on the 15th adding another CC in. To date I have lost 23 pounds. :smile:

Now just trying to figure out this christmas shopping deal... Rusty has given me no ideas whatsoever....:glare:

Thanks for whoever asked how I was doing.. I appreciate it!
 
Good to hear things are looking up for you. Patience will be rewarded. As to the Rusty problem you need professional guidance! :yum::yum::yum:
 
Good to hear you are doing well!!!!!!!!!! :clap:As for the rusty nail problem just pound him in!!!:hammer::hammer::hammer: Then take a set and finish the job!!!:brows:
all the best on the new job, take it one day at a time and enjoy life!!as for the old job stelth is the best mode of operation....speaking from experance here!!! Later Jerry.
 
Alright Rusty said I had to get on here and give an update. The holidays have beat me once again...I gained a few pounds... I am working to get those extra pounds off. It is hard to exercise with two crazy cat and one big wild dog... and of course rusty running around the place...I got a package in the mail for something I ordered for myself..well the size is a big lie on it.. Im sending it back and starting a gym membership. I feel like I am eating lets... my willpower is just a little on the low side during the holidays. I get a 4th fill on the 13th--- maybe.... I start my new job on the 20th.... Everyone here at my old job are pretty much giving me the silent treatment or being ignorant towards me..... oh well... Also trying to get my annoying mom medically straightened out... I love her but she drives me nuts..... so that just adds to everything...Makes it hard to follow a diet will all this stress...:sad:
 
I have the same problem Lith, in that for Sept and Oct my weight went up instead of down. After a good 6 months of losing slowly, I added a couple pounds, and then I didn't address the issue so I added 3 more. So, I got depressed and pissed about the situation and that made the whole situation worse and all I did was maintain ...so that I did not loose the extra 5 pounds, but at least I didn't gain any more. I actually lost one over the turkey day holiday and I'm bound and determined not to gain any from now to the new year. Normally i will gain 5 or 10 in Nov and Dec and then fight Jan through May to get those pounds off one more time. Not this year. I won't let that happen. I've lost three of the 5 so far and I'm getting back on track. Good luck to you doing the same.

I've long believed there is more to weight loss than exercise and diet. There is also a mental aspect, which plays a very important role. In my email today I got something that I thought very interesting, which addresses the mental side of losing weight. I've never heard of this lady before but the article enticed me to sign up for her mail list (see the bottom of the link). I hope it will be worthwhile. I might even buy her book which is talked about in the link but I have not found the price of it yet.

Good luck on your journey and your new job.

Anyway so update....update....

I had a fill on Monday- The doc put in 1cc of fluid which brings my total band fill to 5cc. This fill has made a BIIIIGGG difference that took me by surprise last night. I ended up throwing up...The new fill has taken the 1.5 cup worth of food I use to be able to eat down to 1/2 cup or less per sitting. And drinking is out of the question..I use to be able to drink while eating before the fill and now it just makes things worse. No weight loss. Ive been kinda just hanging out with my weight. Its slow...


I start my new job on Monday. I am excited but worried. What if I don't like it etc etc. And I will miss a select few people from my current job very very much.

Christmas is just around the corner... Ive been finished shopping since Dec 1st. Christmas is such a depressing holiday for myself... And very stressful. Im ready for a new year...
 
Hang in there! the weight will come off when it is time. Holidays are as happy as you let them be. As for the job it is a chance for a fresh start and to leave past baggage behind. You will do fine. I am coming down on Saturday to have an early Christmas with the grand daughters. I can get a few wild ones to come see you and Rusty!:yum:
 
Hay there lith, good to hear[read] from you rusty is sort of dull!!!! the new year will come, the new job will be fine,and if it aint there will be another job that is even better!! Now as for rusty.........hmmmmmm.....maby look at him think FABIO.....think real hard!!!!! later Jerry:whistling: Think real hard now!!!!!
