A friend of mine did the "Diet Water" one and they looked at him blankly and said "I'm sorry, we don't have bottled water" to which he replied "no, Tap water on ice is fine... just make sure it's diet"

Goodness gracious this house is going to be the death of me.  I think all of my weight loss is happening on the weekends...

We keep it 68 in the new house when we are slaving in it and I'll still have sweat dripping off of my head.  It's ridiculous. 

Note to self: ALWAYS wear a hat or bandana when sanding sheet rock mud.  I didn't think I was EVER going to get all the sheet rock dust out of my hair & of course and soon as the shower water hit it... MUD.  yay

I suspect I am in the upper 270's.  I'll weigh at the chiros this afternoon.

Synicalchick, I found you!  I'm so glad you are still here.  You are one of the people I always wondered about while I was away from the messageboard.  It sounds like you are doing amazingly well after your lap band surgery!  I caught up on some of your board, busier than ever it sounds like.

So glad you are still here and doing so well! :thumbsup::cool:

Hey Snow!

Long time no read!  I'll go back on my diary link to remind people I'm posting over here now.

The house is coming along.  I'm going up today to deliver a vanity and sink and to plant marigolds around my pumpkins to keep of beetles.

HOLY MOLY

My 6 month Band anniversary is coming up (Aug 27) so I had some pictures taken this a.m. in almost the same outfit as the pictures of the week of surgery.

Wow.  I'm still huge but the difference is amazing.  WOW.  I don't have the updated pics on the computer yet, but as soon as I do I'll try to get them posted.

WOW

Alrighty.  This took some nerve... especially the pics at the end.  I'm still HUGE but I'm slowly shrinking and am leaving my HUGEness behind forever.

These were taken the night I found out I was approved, which if I remember correctly, was on either 2/13 or 14 (hence the valentines outfit).  My 6 month surgery date is August 27th.  The day of surgery I weight 331.  I think I weight about 340 in these and I'm in the 270's now... about 279 or 8 I think.  Don't go back to Dr. Morton until Sept 25th.  You will also notice I have lost about 10 lbs of hair.  We're in the middle of a 15 day triple digit streak and it was just to HOT.

WOW!  What an amazing story.  And I agree that it was very brave of you to post those pics.  Inspiring.

I don't know how old you are but your weight loss and hair cut make you look younger.

Keep up the good work.

Oh my goodness, Tracy, you look so good already!   Look at the changes in your body!   I had to do a closer look at your face, to make sure the pics were of the same woman! :shock:  Your friends and family won't know you, when you hit goal!

You know, I couldn't understand that.............that people didn't recognize me!   I was at a bridal shower, and a lady I've known for years (our daughters played softball together in high school-we visited at games for years), but hadn't seen since I lost weight (the girls graduated), came up to me and introduced herself!   I was kind of dumbfounded............I didn't know what to say..........it felt really weird!   That was with 90 lbs. gone..........I felt like inside I was the same person, and I had trouble bringing the two together-the me inside and the slimmer me on the outside.   I still find myself heading to the women's sizes, and I haven't worn a size 24 for about 5 years now.

Keep it up!   I've really enjoyed reading what the lap band surgery was really like!

Well, It's Monday.  My A$$ hurts, I'm limping, I feel like I have a badger latched on with teeth and claws in the middle back area, I have bags under my eyes and I'm broken out like a teenager, but doggonit, we are mostly moved.

Yup.. I said..... "mostly"

My water babies are still sitting at the apt, waiting patiently for me to get their tank at the house ready for them.  Then of course, there's all the various assundries of #%@&! laying around EVERY WHERE that I don't know what to do with, all my pots of roses and then, we have to clean.

This of course on top of the fact that we were NOT finished working on the house and had to move in on top of it anyway.  My poor girls(cats) are super freaked out and will proabably have to stay locked up in one room for at least a week.

I can't wait for this to all be over.

I have a check up appointment with my surgeon tomorrow.  I'll report numbers on Wednesday.  I'm actually going to have to come up with an exercise regamin after this is all over.  DRAT

:turtle:Slow n steady wins the race...:snail:

Total lbs lost since top weight of 343 - 70

Total lbs lost since the day of my surgery on 2/27 58.5

BMI is now a 44 down from a 56 ~ major victory there!

They are very happy with my progress.  Every time I go in there I'm concerened they will think I'm losing to slowly and they remind me that the slow steady weight loss was one of the main reasons I chose this route.  I'm down 15 lbs from the last dr visit so I wasn't adjusted.  She seems to think I'll be able to stay at my fluid level (3.4 out of 4) until I hit the 100+ lb loss mark.  I don't go back until mid Decemeber then I meet with My surgeon.  I meet with him every 3rd visit from what I can tell.

Your progress is amazing.  We would all like to simply walk around the corner and find that our weight has simply fallen off, but you are doing this sensibly, and you are winning the race, so slow and steady definitely seems to be the way to go!

I think your progress is fantastic.  Keep it up, and please keep diarising, I love to read it!

Hey Tracey, I have my second appointment with my surgeon tommorrow - I'm hoping he will be able to give me a date for the surgery!  I really hope he hasn't changed his mind.  He told me lose some weight before the next appointment - I have -  but it's getting really, really hard - the yoyo wants to kick in any time now. 

I have read this thread from start to finish, and I understand, I think, what you say about the lap band being a tool that really can help you to get to your goal.  I cannot wait to have that same tool.

Hi, Tracey, it is now 4 pm and I have just got back from the hospital.  He was ever so pleased with my progress and has promised to fit a lap band for me on 17th December, so it will be in place before Christmas, and psychologically, I shall start the new year as a slim person with some weight to lose rather than a fat person with no hope.

I am, quite literally, sick with anticipation!  I cannot wait!  I just cannot wait!

Congratulations!

Please read over my stuff again as you get close... I was as brutally honest as I could be & when you are in the beginning stages I think it will help you to read along as I was in the beginning stage.

I will.  And while I ws there I got chatting with a few other women, all of them with weight problems and hoping for a surgical solution.  I hope you don't mind, but I told them about your thread and gave them the web address.  Your story is so inspirational.

SOme of my "friends" are so judgemental about my seeking surgery - they seem to think that I am taking the easy way out.  DOn't they realise that nobody with any sense would seek out a surgical solution unless it was the very last resort? 

I've got one friend who was very big, over 20 stone (280 lbs) but she decided to lose weight, so she stopped eating - eriod.  She does not eat.  She likes her alcohol, so she drinks quite  lot, but not a morsel of food passes her lips - except for the kebabas when she is drunk.  She has lost the weight,  although she is still obese - just.  Her BMI is around 31, and at 5ft 4 and around 13 stone (185 lbs) she has now stuck - but she is no longer heavy enough to be considered for surgery.  And she is the most judgemental of all.  She thinks it's unfair that I will be getting this help when she had to struggle alone.  But she could have done the same as me.  She could have taken the route I took, talking to doctors and dieticians, taking up exercise and tackling it the boring way, but she chose to do things her own, not very sensible way. 

Such is life!

I had the weirdest experience this a.m.     


 


I now get to work around 6:20-30.  Another worker who sits closest to me came in around 7:00 & asked me if I had noticed the lady out in the parking lot looking into my car.


I got up and went over to the window, & sure enough, this person I didn't recognize was all up in my car.... looking under in the side, the back etc. 


I decided to go outside with a box of books to put in my car so as to put my face with it in case she assumed it was her hubby's mistresses car or something.  I noticed that when anyone would drive up she would get in her truck and just sit there.  I go out, put the books in the car, look at her through her tinted windows, she smiled, I went back in, making a big deal out of locking the car.


I put on some coffee, and Stacey said, "Tracy, now she's looking at your car again but now she's has a notepad and is writing stuff down."


At this point I was really starting to get weirded out & thought I should confront her.  Again I noticed that when someone drove up, she got back in her truck.  As soon as the parking lot would clear, she would get back in.


I go out, she see's me, quickly walks back to her truck and starts it for the 1st time in about 45 minutes.  I make it up to her window before she backs out.


She rolls it down & at this point I can tell she is either currently seriously strung out on something or having withdrawals.  She was visibly shaking, couldn't keep her hands still, Her eyes were kind of bugged out and filmed over a bit and not a word that came out of her mouth made sense.  I started the 'conversation' with "Can I help you with something, that's my car you seem so interested in".  I mean, a normal thinking person would have complimented the car, and said they had always wanted one and was just writing stuff down about it and asked me questions on it.


Instead, she just babbled nonsense and looked like she was going to bolt.  She had a seriously icky feeling about her.


any who, about 5-7 minutes of that I walk off, and stand in the front of the building waiting for her to leave.. STUPIDLY not thinking to write down her plate numbers... I'm also ticked that I didn't think to ask her for that piece of paper with my number stuff or whatever she was writing down.  DUH.


She finally drove off and got on the road going about 10 miles per hour turning into McDonalds.  I called the police to report it, feeling desperately stupid for not having the brains to write any of her info down.


When she's gone, I move Tink in the front row, right in front of my office window.


WEIRDNESS.


 


The description I gave the police is below...

Chick, THAT IS REALLY WEIRD!   Did you ever hear anything more?

It's like getting to the next to the last page of a good mystery, and find out the last page has been torn out!

Hi Tracey, I have a strong suspicion that you may not have heard the last of that (particularly strange) individual.  Something tells me that the episode may not be over.  I would keepyour eyes open.

Be careful and look after yourself.

Gee, that was an interesting read!

Isn't it frustrating how we always think of what to do after it's too late. I can give you a list of things I'll do next time! But of course I hope that's the end of that!

I'm really starting to get a lot of comments about my appearance which is nice, however, my pictures are still hard to look at.  Took pictures with a co-workers 10 month old and got one from the side and I still don't have a jaw line.  Just one big solid swoop from the bottom of my neck to my face.  ACK

So... how many pounds until I can stand to see myself in pictures I wonder?????  Not asking for real just retorical.

I know this will sound silly 8 months post surgery, but it still amazes me sometimes at how effective (once you have reached your 'sweet spot') this band is.  I'll find myself having to stop eating and I look at whats left and all the to go boxes and I just can't believe it.  I've been ruled by food and quantity since I was a preteen... more is better.

Todd was out of town all week this week and Monday p.m. he pulled out two chicken breast that didn't get fixed that night.  I sliced them up on Wednesday and fixed them up in a skillet.  So far, those two average chicken breast have been eaten for supper, lunch & supper.  I still have quite a bit left.  I'm going to have to throw it over the fence.  NEVER did I think I'd see the day when I couldn't eat a whole chicken breast.  WOW:chicken:

Is that what you do with trash in Tennessee? Throw it over the fence?

Just after reading your post about showing us your picture the other day I saw this very sweet couple at the gym publicly displaying affection for each other. Just big smiles and a little touching and sweet stuff, nothing raunchy.

They both looked so sweet and happy and that's what I saw, despite the fact that they were both morbidly obese.

So remembering your post I was thinking that you could post a pic now and we'll all see your pretty face again. But alas, you'd be looking at the weight and I suppose that is the point of posting it.

Not Trash silly :monkey: organic stuff for the critters to snack on.  We don't have a compost box built yet so that's where all the scraps go!:grin:

I was just teasing. I used to throw whole chicken carcases on the front lawn of my condo and the crows would have them gone in minutes. It was kinda fun. It got so when I drove in from the market or gym they would follow my car!

Finally one day there were a dozen and it was getting kinda messy (with the bird droppings) so I had to stop it.

My friend used to live in a floating home (a home on a raft, so-to-speak) on the Columbia River nearby. It seemed so offensive when he would just throw stuff into the river, but it was just dead blossoms and such from his patio garden.

I kid him that I do the same from my patio now. I'll toss dead pansie blossoms and such over my little fence onto the lawn... knowing that the lawn mower will scoop them up!

Hi Synicalchick

I have just read your posts and I must say that you definately look so much younger for all the weight that you have lost.  Your sense of humour is absolutely amazing and kept me giggling most of the time that I was reading.  You should be so proud of yourself and you will get to your goalweight eventually and feel and look all the better for it.  Don't ever lose your sense of humour or all those wonderful ridiculous sayings neither.

Hello, I am starting my journey as soon as I can lose my 10 % of body weight. Did you have to do this for Blue Cross of TN also? Do you have any tips. This seems like a huge mountain to climb.:snail:
