Adjustment + Weigh In + NSV :)

09/07/2012 Pre-Op Appointment Weight:  344.0

12/13/2012 Adjustment Weight:  290.0

Today's Adjustment Weight:  282.5

Total Loss: 61.5 pounds!!!!!!





Well, my PA who does my adjustments was pleased that I lost 7.5 pounds over the holidays.  And, small non-scale victory...since I've lost weight and have less stomach fat, they've switched to using the 2 inch needle (as opposed to that 3.5 inch needle)!  Yeah!


Side Note:  If you have a problem with needles, this is likely not the Weight Loss Surgery for you.

    Congrats!!! Good call mentioning the needle thing. I can imagine someone going into this thinking it will be great until they remember they have to be stuck every time they need a fill. Luckily I'm good with needles...I don't even need a sucker afterwards :)

    oooh I have a major needle fobia but I was so determined this surgery was better suited for me than the bypass, I did not freak out during my fill so maybe it´ll help with this phobia. Congrats on the loss

      That's great! I have a friend who has a serious needle phobia. She usually passes out when getting her flu shot. She and I have the same Doctor/PA team so I have heard about her bad experiences from both ends. And since our doctor likes us to get fills every 4 weeks, that's a lot of needle sticking!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
