    Four, 4, vier, fire, cuatro, chetiri, quattro, yon, quatre

    By LoriBecky

    Four... no matter what language you say it in... I just fit into a pair of size FOUR jeans... yes, me! I love thrift store, bargain hunting. Its a huge thrill to me to find something that i love for less then $10. From my amazing, full length wool coat for $8.88, to my wool peacoat for $6.88 to my Ralph Lauren cords for $3.33 or my Stuart Weitzman pumps for $4.50... I love a bargin, but I have to admit, pulling those 4's off the endless jean rack and looking at them and thinking "no way" - t

Fill Trip

It's been more than a couple months since my LBL, If you remember,, Dr. Martinez pulled .5cc's out of my band the day before my LBL. I've really missed the restriction and gained 15 lbs during recovery. Today I made a trip up to Oak Brook Illinois to Synchrony Health and had a band adjustment. They added .3cc's and we'll see if this will put me back on the weight loss track. I know that I had .5cc's pulled in October,, but I didn't want to take the full .5cc's at one fill. I remember I may have

Just got home from banding

Banded 01-06-09 excited about my new journey. First thing I saw upon entering house was all the junk food I love soooo dearly. I am already missing the taste of food and I am quickly understanding the difference between the physical hunger and the just wanting to eat because it tastes good or smells good. It is like my junk food junkie fix, if it tastes good, I feel good. My time has come to find other things to bring me pleasure. I can not expect everyone else in the house to give up things

Five Days and Counting!!

Well, after months of planning I am finally within a week of my surgery date! On Monday I will be traveling from Buffalo to San Diego, and then on to Dr. Ortiz! I can't believe I am so close now! I am looking forward to dropping this weight, and shedding some bad habits. I know that being thin isn't the beat all end all especially if you don't like yourself inside. Luckily for me when I look at myself in the mirror I don't hate what I see...I just hate how she looks. Here's to a new outw

2 month post-op pictures

It's been 2 months since my surgery,, as promised I'm posting new pictures. I merged three pictures together (pre-op, 10 day post-op and 2 month post-op) so you can see the difference. The healing process has been slow. They say it takes anywhere from 2 to 6 months or longer,, I believe them. LOL. I still have little aches and pains, depends how I move or stretch. The front of my stomach and the tops of my legs are still numb and swollen, but I can tell its getting less numb and swollen as time

i've been eating cookies, chips, chocolate, basically any type of sweets for the past several days. i can't eat real food. everytime i try to eat a regular meal the food will get stuck. i'm kind of annoyed with myself. i feel like i've gained a bajillion pounds once again and i probably won't make my goal for my birthday/new year. the boys want to take me to disneyland for my birthday but nothing has been discussed or finalized as of yet maybe we'll talk tonight about it. giovanni has been too "

Just Started New Banster

Hi All, I am thinking that someone is reading this besides me. If nothing else this is therapueatic (sp). So here goes my accounts of yesterday evening adventures as well as todays events. I am on day 8 or 9 depending on weather you count the day of the surgery. Everything seems to be going well except for the constipation/back pain I discussed yesterday. I finally got in touch with the doctors and they instructed me to take Milk of Magnesia. They also indicated that with the change in diet,

Just starting

Hi all, I had the Surgery last week December 2nd 2008 to be exact. I must admit I was very excited and slightly scared. It has been 7 days and I have been doing great on this liquid only diet. I can not believe I made it this far without reaching to the dark side. I have just started introducing creamy soups. I am constipated to the tenth power and I am currently waiting for the doctors to return my call. I hope this is constipation and nothing serious. Ihave a strong lower back pain on my

winter jackets in vegas ;D

i went to old navy yesterday and got this they only had XL available and it's too big. i hate it but i love the style and color and the cute little fur hoodie thing. i should have gone to another old navy and see if they have it in large but old navy kind of runs a size bigger so i should get a medium. i love everything fitted now because if i wear baggy stuff i look weird and i feel weird. like my old hoodies that used to be snug on me are all loose on me now. i hate looking in the mirror b

Countdown to Surgery

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2008: Wow! I made the decision. I scheduled the date--December 22, 2008. I paid the deposit. I made airline reservations. I filled out and faxed all of the necessary paperwork. I'm ready. I'm ready for a new beginning. I'm 46 years old. I have been on diets almost my entire life. I remember being teased about my weight in elementary school--2nd grade, I think. I had to have "chubby" clothes. That set the stage for the rest of my life. I can't tell you the number of times

4 weeks since LBL surgery

It's been 4 weeks since my LBL surgery. Not much has changed, the healing process is very slow. I have been cutting and pulling stitches as my incision heals. I had to ask for help on a few of the stitches, my good friend and biking buddy used to be a nurse, she had to use her medical skills to remove several of my stitches that my wife couldn't get. It helped to share a bottle of white zin as we did this, it made it fun and she did a great job. I still have a couple stitches left in my incisio
