So after I had been having lots of problems with acid reflux, my doc did a fill under fluoro and my band has slipped. Instead of being upright, creating a small pouch, it is sideways and there is a big pouch. The food kind of sits there for awhile before going down and that's why I have acid reflux. No one is sure how or why slips happen so ( Read more... )

Well, I am actively working the 2 jobs I have, so that's been taking up most of my time. I'm fighting the scale for 5-10 pounds up. After my last fill, I've been up and down 5 pounds from my lowest weight. I really need to get serious and be more regular with the gym and be more mindful of what I eat. I've gotten into the very bad habit of ( Read more... )

Okay so my trip to Atlanta wasn't as great as I thought it was going to be. My new boyfriend has suddenly turned into a moody workaholic. He left me at the hotel all day and then talked shop all though dinner with him and his employee who came to the conference. I know this was a work trip, but he made me think that we would have some time to ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've been pretty overscheduled lately but things are good! My new boyfriend and I are really happy and starting to talk about long-term plans :) He is really great and I really do love him. I'm excited because he has a work conference in Atlanta so he's paying for me to go with him for the week. It should be a lot of fun. He's also ( Read more... )

So things are going pretty well. I'm still seeing my new man and he says he's in love and wants to marry me eventually. We've actually been looking at rings, but nothing soon. I think he plans to propose some time over the summer and I told him I need a year to plan a wedding since I have a billion family members. He's pretty awesome. He ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't posted because I've been involved in what is referred to as "dungeon love". You know, where there is nothing that exists in the world outside of you and the person you are in love (infatuation) with? Well, I met a guy on Match.com and he completely swept me off my feet. He did the expensive steakhouse, wine, escargot, filet, ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving was awesome, though I couldn't eat that much because my band is TIGHT! I'm getting daily heartburn, which I know isn't good, but it's so much easier not to overeat on all the great food and sweets around the holidays. I've been killing myself with a new weight training routine at the gym and I can barely move my arms today. I like ( Read more... )

I will not be having my 15 minutes of fame. I called the clinic and they said that it would be a professional photographer and that the pictures would run in ads in magazines, on the website, and in the local paper. I volunteered to come to seminars or to even be on the website, but let them know I did not want my pictures in the local paper. ( Read more... )

So my lapband office called and wants me and other people who have been really successful with the Lapband to do a photo shoot on Thursday. There would be pictures on their website and in local papers and a magazine. On one hand, I do credit the lapband and especially my awesome surgeon with my success and I really want to help other people by ( Read more... )

Things have been really hard dealing with the death of my friend. We found out that his psycho girlfriend got into a really big fight with him and he was headed away from his house when he died. That means he may have been going to meet her or texting her. I guess I'm just trying to make sense out of something that seems so senseless. I went to ( Read more... )
