I have a couple of things going on tomorrow. After begin with my surgeons practice for 2 months, I am finally going to be sitting down with him for the first time. beyond the his this is Dr P and he shook my hand and said nice to meet you. I also meet with the dietician for the first time. I believe that after tomorrow they will submit my information to the insurance company. Keeping fingers crossed.
Also tomorrow I am going to small claims court to fight my tax assessment on my house. Wish me luck, say a prayer or cross your fingers. What every you want to do.
I am 8 weeks pregnant and have the Lap Band...I would appreciate some advice from someone that has been pregnant after having surgery..how did it go? Did you have to have fluid taken out? Did it put additional restriction on the band due to all the pressure of the baby when you were further along? I want to do what is best and let my baby get all the things he/she needs..so if you could email me or get with me on my page.. I would greatly appreciate it! Hope to hear from someone soon... Thank you!

It has been almost two weeks since the surgery, I am so in this and enjoying the process. I am working out and feeling great and have
lost a total of 15.8 pounds. I have a lose it icon on my phone and log all my workouts and liquid intakes, and to watch the graph of the weight
going down is very satisfying. My incision are healed and I spent the day river snorkling and trying to chase trout with a net, hilarious and active
and no trout for my partner's dinner. One of my best friends is the swimmer Diana Nyad and had a great work out with her today. Check out
BravaBody work out cd's very inspiring. I don't know how to get in all my protein with the switch to soft foods, any advise of how you get 60 grams of protein?
Do you stop the yummy protein drinks completely?
ok yeah i have made it to post op DAY 5.... overall the surgery went well with a few bumps in the post op road but nothing that i couldn't handle. The toughest part is my doc will absolutely not let me back to work before my 3 week check up... i am freaking out because i didn't tell me job i had this surgery ..they think i am on vacation!!! i will just have to figure a good excuse...... i thought i would be able to go back tommrow day 6 but he said since i do heavy lifting he doesn't want to take a chance i might pull the internal staples out....i just will have to figure out something.....everything else is going well...the gas pains are easier up alot , i walked my dogs today and that seemed to really help. i am able to drink the protein shake without any problems... it just takes me an hour but thats ok, i have been getting 30 to 40 ounces of other fluid in daily and i have started puree soups as well as broth. the only hard thing is it takes all day to get it in because if i go to fast i burb and get bad heartburn....my best friends... a baby sippy cup that only allows a sip tp come out and a baby spoon for my soup... that way i know i am not overdoing it... i m absolutely not hungary and i am satisfied with the little amounts of food i am eating ....lets here it for my journey as i am on my way !! yeah!!!!!
First the bad news (to get it out of the way): I did not hit my Labor Day goal of 157 lbs ... today (Labor Day) I weigh 159.6. But here is the good news: I am no longer in the 160's! YAY!!!!
On Saturday my weight was 158.8 and on that day I officially was considered no longer obese ... alas, my weight popped up again over 159 today (not sure why the scale does this to me, but c'est la vie) so I am still considered obese (but just barely ... my BMI is 30.2). But I am still really excited to be in the 150s ... haven't been here in 15 years!! I swore to my journal today that I will do EVERYTHING in my power to NEVER get above the 150s again the rest of my life. And I mean it, too!
I just came off a lovely walk this morning ... we are having incredible weather here in the Pacific NW right now ... it is so gorgeous outside I almost want to weep. In a few weeks the rains will come again, but for now it is heaven on earth and there is nowhere in the whole world I would rather be than here. Between me hitting a big scale victory, the beautiful weather, and a long holiday weekend, I have to say my life is just about perfect!
I am a gardener and have spent a lot of time this weekend in my backyard garden and my community garden plot. I have grown a lot of veggies and flowers and am harvesting them now ... loads of green beans, cherry tomatoes (and my first batch of roma tomatoes), potatoes (which I have mostly been giving away to potato-loving friends and family), and dahlias (they make me so happy!). The farmer's market is overflowing with beautiful produce too. Consequently, I spent much of my day yesterday in the kitchen. I made a fresh batch of refrigerator dilly green beans (so yummy -- forget about pickles, I like these way better, and you can eat mounds of them for almost zero calories). I also made a batch of "Jumbleberry" freezer jam (a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) -- OMG homemade freezer jam is incredibly yummy -- on the weekends I splurge and have an English muffin w/a little butter and a spoonful of homemade jam and almost swoon over how good it is. And, I also made an amazing snack dip (Barefoot Contessa's Roasted Eggplant & Pepper dip) which I am bringing over to a friend's house today to snack on with some Stacy's pita chips (tasty, healthy snack! Yum!).
Eating all this amazing garden-fresh food makes me feel very in touch with my sleeve, and I am happy that I am giving my body good nutrition with healthy and fresh foods. i was not one of those sleevers who lost their appetite after surgery ... au contraire, I have had a healthy appetite since nearly day one post-op. I still LOVE food and the best thing about the sleeve is that I can still enjoy food, but in reasonable quantities, and it makes me so much more mindful of food than I was before surgery. I did a lot of mindless eating before surgery and I was a really fast eater. I do struggle with myself more than I would care to admit about still eating too fast ... especially when there is a really great meal before me ... I can easily eat 3-5 bites really fast and then say to myself, "Stop! You only have a few bites left now!!!!" and then I have to stop and wait for a while before eating again. This is a big challenge for me.
Also, I definitely have validated what Dr. Aceves told me before surgery, which is that you can defeat your sleeve if you want to -- I can eat a lot more by spacing out the food intake over a few hours, and I have to admit I have done this more than I should. I just know this is something I am going to have to battle with myself to not do on a regular basis. This is a habit I do NOT want to get into!
But overall -- it is the happiest Labor Day weekend I have had in many years. I hope yours is/was fabulous too!
I've typed this three times and lost it because it took me too long. So this time I'm going to cut and paste to avoid that! So Recovery House was about 15 minutes away. Celestine, my daughter and I piled into the van and off we went to Recovery house (RC). This was really nice. I gated community - every home gated and entry gated and door gated. You are safe!! The ride there was a bit dodgy so be prepared.
Lovely comfy couches downstairs, a nice help-yourself kitchen and all the popsicles and kirkland brand water you can drink. The coffee uses filtered water too. Two bedrooms down and a regular bathroom - and two bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms upstairs. One bedroom is large with 3 twin bed and a small alcove with two more beds. Very comfortable and AC throughout. the best part was the area to the left of the entry which looks like a garage but has been converted to a couryard - tiled - plants - chairs and a swing (be careful - it's hard to get out of).
Ray arrived later in the afternoon. HollyB and Eva were already there having been sleeved the day before me. They welcomed us and talked about the house, staff, and most of us were getting around pretty good. Celestine stayed in bed most of the time as she did not feel good at all. I'm sure her tummy was sore from getting sick the night before. So this was relaxing to walk around the courtyard - get those gas bubbles moving. Everyone took showers and had their bandages redressed. Sylvester is the house man or concierge if you like. He works 7 days a week for his room and board and his wages consist of tips. He never told me this but Katie spent a lot of time when we were sleeping or going for tests and he revealed some of his life to her. Seems odd to work 7 days a week - no holidays.
That night I got a shot in the rear with my antibiotic, and pain med, took a pill and was off to lala land in no time. (Note* I took my IV out as soon as I got to RC and no one noticed...I hate the darn things) Don't do this unless you clearly know what you are doing!
The next morning we were given our blue dye to drink...guess what - it tastes like blue dye...with a hint of dandelion (bitterness) added. Yum - I showed Ray that I was ahead of him and he chugged the rest of his HA HA!! Men!
So we pile into the van head to the clinic to pick up the others going for their Xray - Gem, Eva, and a few others. Gem and Eva had just started their ink drink and had not progressed too far and both ahd barf buckets with them. Oh oh please don't hurl on the way! We made it there safely but several barely touched their dye. No one commented and evidently it didn't matter. So this was sort of funny. here's exactly how they run you through the Xray gauntlet...
"Call your Name - in here - stand there - ye there - don't move - drink this in two swallows - straight down - take breath and don't move" So when they said go - I drank (yuck) xray - and all done! 15 minutes later we were on our way back to RC. Now - don't throw up or you have to do it over... right Eva? Poor sweetie. I think Celestine had to go through twice as well.
Back to clinica to exchange people...Gem going to RC and Eva and her spouse to a hotel and some others to RC. When we finally arrived back at RC - the nurse pulled our drains (I had Katie packing our suitcases so we could go back to San Diego a day early and try to get a flight back home).
Passing back through the border was about the same 20 minutes. You have to show your passport and then off to the airport. Katie and I said our goodbyes to Celeste and Ray and Eva and Dean. Gem remained in the RC for another night.
It was an interesting and "out of my comfort zone" experience but with the other people there - we sort of kept each other going. Definately worth it - but I am so very thankful I am currently in the Holiday inn Express (which joining their Holiday Inn Points plan - free) gets you a later checkout 2:00 pm at any Holiday Inn. So we'll check out today at 2 - head to the airport and shuffle off to buffalo...I mean idaho and live happily ever after. The important part being I will LIVE! I promise to not be a slug (or gamer potatoe) anymore! Love Reb
P.S. Thank you God for letting me be an American.

I lost 4 more pounds this week. This brings me to a grand total of41 pounds since the start of the year....and 26 pounds since surgery. I weighed in at 219 this morning. It has been years since I saw this weight. It is a very weird feeling to go from being so excited that I can fit back into my size 17 jeans to having them literally fall off of me the next week.
I am having clothing issues. Dont get me wrong, I have enough clothes that I have grown out of to last me all the way down to 180- which I can't imagine seeing. Mentally I am still size 20 pants and 3x tops. I have a hard time remembering that I am a bit smaller now. I wore a 2x tshirt a long thin black coat and my size 17 jeans to go and work in the field on Friday.
I could pull the jeans off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. Walking along the pole line my pants started to fall off and I stepped in hole. I went down like a bag of dirt. It was like I was surrounded by a blanket net of giant clothes. I landed face down in the dirt spread eagle like I was trying to make a backwards dirt angel.
I still struggle to eat. This is starting week 6 for me. According to my book I should be eating 4-6oz of food. They want me taking in 3oz of protein and then 2-3 oz of a soft fruit or veggie. I can not manage it. On a really good day- I can handle the 3oz of protein.
I get about 500 calories a day. I get 60 or more grams of protein consistantly. And I shoot for 64oz of water- but usually only manage 45-50 oz.
I feel a little weak. I am still struggling with depression. I have dreams about candy but haven't eaten any during my waking hours. My 1month 1 week appointment is on Friday. I hope that I have done well.
Well gang I have been MIA for a while. busy with work and school. Just to update everyone, I am still on track but have had a little set back. On my journey to a healthy me, I had a little set back with my exercise routine. I selected curves as my gym because it had been such a long time since I had exercised and I wanted to start out slow, I lost 12.5 inches my first month and was so excited in my progress, I think I became a little obsessed with my progress and was attending the gym 4-5 times a week, well 2 weeks ago I went to work on a Friday like always and wham............... I started walking across the hospital campus and my knee went out, I tore my lateral meniscus, The past few weeks have been a serious bump in the road, no exercise and I am on crutches. I have to do 3 weeks of PT and than they will decide if I need surgery. I have no stability in the knee and with out the brace and crutches I end up on the floor. I have really been worried that I would gain weight and have obsessed over my calorie intake. I decided not to have my band tightened because I was exercising and maintaining my intake to the 1000-1200 calorie range. I had just finally gotten to the point I enjoyed eating again and not getting stuck. I monitor my calories on myfitnesspal.com but the not exercise is driving me nuts. I am stuck, still weighing in at 177. Hope everyone is doing good.
I'm down 15.3lbs since surgery on 8/22, and 58.5lbs from my highest weight.
I have been feeling like **** lately. I threw up my multi yesterday and today. Yesterday because I took it on an empty stomach. I knew it would make me feel sick but I wasn't expecting to throw up. Today I took it with about 6oz of broth and I threw it up again. I really wasn't expecting it today. Last week I was able to take my multis this way. I'm going to have to buy a different multi and try it and see if that helps. I'm also finally starting to take my carafate. I've taken it twice so far today. It seems to help a little. But I still have a general feeling of crappiness.
I can't wait to move on to Stage 3. I can't wait! Hopefully on Wednesday when I have my appointment with the nutritionist, I will get to. I want to eat eggs and meat and chunky soup. Sure it will be pureed, but it will give me so much more variety. I am so tired of cream soups, pudding, and yogurt.
The vein in my left hand going to my wrist still hurts. The vein is hard and sticks out. That can't be normal. I have an appointment with my PCP on Tuesday, so I'll ask her about it then. And about my incisions too. Jess nicked one of them with his nail and this milky clean liquid oozed out. I had him smell my incision to make sure it wasn't infected. Yesterday it leaked a little so now I'm wearing a regular bandaid over it.
I can't think of any thing more to write, and I need to clean for tomorrow. I really hope the carafate helps me not feel so crappy.
I really hate how this website sensors me! We're all adults here. Not a bunch of *******.
Today is Sunday, September 4 and I am in the Holiday Inn Express in San Diego with my daughter, 48 hours after being sleeved. This is my “sleeve” experience and I must say some of this was shocking to me - but perhaps it will not be to you.
We flew to San Diego from North Idaho and stayed at the Hampton Inn as recommended. The next morning we met at the Jet Blue terminal and discovered several others waiting for the same ride. There were 4 sleevers, 2 lap banders, and one lifter. We all met - took a few pictures and talked about our procedures etc. There were 3 guests that accompanied their respective person. We stood around for about 45 minutes for the van to arrive. We all piled in - our luggage got stowed and off we went. It took about 20 minutes to get to the border and the houses and shops are quite shocking to someone who has not experienced this type of poverty. We were definitely passing by a very poor area of San Diego. We laughed at a sign along I5 that said “GUNS ARE ILLEGAL IN MEXICO”. Arriving at the border, there are lots and lots of people packing guns - so expect it. We got through pretty quickly and the next twenty minutes made me look up and thank the good Lord that I was born an American. I cannot describe the shacks and shops that were put together seemingly with any leftover construction material. As we moved closer to “town” it became less shocking and before you know it there was a COSTCO and a Office Depot and we were there - Jerusalem Clinica.
So here’s the part that bothered me before..but now I suppose it wasn’t that big of a deal. I just wished someone had described the waiting game. Here it is.
You get unloaded from the van and all the smokers and guests remained outside chatting and puffing. There were 6 patients that turned in our passport to be copied and placed with our “medical info” on a separate clipboard. The reception area is VERY small - a couch for 3 and a couch for 2 and a bathroom that is not 30” wide….really. So we sat around for about 30 minutes wondering who would be first and what was next etc. Finally they started calling us in behind the auspicious door “hospitale” and we had our blood drawn. Then about every 15 to 20 minutes they took someone “away”. I later found out that away was upstairs in a very small lobby much like the one we just left - with two small bedrooms (2 beds each) and another small bathroom. We met Juan (pink shirt - always) - paid our balance, signed a document all in Spanish…I could have just enlisted in the Mexican Armed Forces for all I know. We got dressed down in either the bedroom or the bathroom, sat out on the couches - men - women together - total strangers in a sea of “WTH” have I done? Then they again had us go into one of the bedrooms and stick your legs in the air to cover with ace bandages and who cares if someone else came in to ask the nurse or doctor something - your business…I guess was anyone’s business. Then we had an EKG by an elderly (really old guy) cardiologist and were basically told at this point who was first, second etc… I was third in line so Ava went first followed by Gem and then me. So from this point - the experience is all mine.
MY turn - I walked back downstairs to the O.R. making sure I wasn’t flashing my ample cheeks to anyone (the gowns are about a size 5X or bigger) and mine was hanging quite low. Anyway I walk into the “restricted” in Spanish doors and there is the table. OK. Don’t panic when you see that the fake naughtier is rubbing off of the side things that come out to hold either your legs or your arms. I smiled, climbed upon the table and said - bring on the happy juice and they did. I don’t remember another thing…it was that fast.
So I wake up in one of the bedrooms upstairs (I didn’t know there were two more downstairs and only ONE has a lazy boy chair and a single bed. ) Sorry to all of you who got to see the video with that room because like me you assumed your guest would have a place to sleep. Katie and another guest - slept out on the upstairs lobby couches with the TV on all night long. (TAKE EARPLUGS!!!) I was told I walked up the stairs after surgery but I have no memory of that or of them getting me into bed. I was not in pain but I woke up and recognized that I was uncomfortable…like maybe something had happened to my stomach. YEAH!! I slept fitfully that night partially because I had to get up and go potty 5 times and felt bad about my daughter sleeping on the couch but just as much because my roommate Eva or Ava and poor Gem had the dry heaves all night. They looked pretty sorry in the morning…but stay tuned…they did get better the next day.
In the morning _ I assumed we would ALL be going to recovery house and so Katie and I packed up our suitcases and so did Celestine. (We got up at 6 just because we wanted ICE CUBES - anything. They brought us these ice cubes that were GIANT - I mean 1.5 inches round!) Still we didn’t care.
And then we hear, Sorry…only two people can go to Recovery House. (To be continued!) Reb
I am a 44 yo registered nurse who is a Director of Quality in a small hospital in NWO. I have researched all my options. Orginally I wanted the VSG but now I really feel that the gastric plication is the tool I need to increase my chance of losing weight and keeping it off. I like that it is revisable and is not associated with malabsorption
.
I made my decision after two years of lurking on weight loss sites and trying various diets, personal training and pills. I would lose 15 and gain 20. I have watched my ability to snorkel and walk on vacation turn into shortness of breath and fatigue. I walk up the stairs to beat of 132 pulse. This has improved with cardio at the gym (120's )
I have beat myself up. Refused to go out with my husbands friends because they are thin and I am embarassed for my husband. Really I have spent my time making other people happy and not myself necessarily.
Weight loss will not make me beautiful ( It is what is inside that counts). It will not make me successful as I feel that I am succesful professionally regardless of my weight. Weight loss will increase my energy and my overall health.
My fears are complications related to the surgery. I am having my consultation appointment by phone with Dr. Brad Watkins from Cincinnati Weight Loss on Sept 7, 2011. I am 5 ft 3 inches and 216.5 today. This is a 38.4 BMI . So far I dont have high blood pressure or diabetes. I dont want them either.
I will keep you posted:)
Well, I decided NOT to get an unfill because I really didn't want to over eat on vacation, plus it seemed a little better by the time I left. I made sure I didn't eat anything that would remotely get stuck for the plan ride to New Orleans. I was doing fine the first 2 nights. Sure, I was very tight and couldn't eat much, but I was able to drink. BUT the day I set sail for the cruise was bad-really bad. I felt sick all day and could barely keep anything down. I wentto lunch took a spoonful and had to go to the bathroom to bring it up. On the actual cruise-well I tried to eat at the sit down dinner-but I simply could not. During dessert I was sick and excused myself. I tried rushing back to my stateroom and I didn't think I would make it in time, but thank goodness I managed to get to the bathroom! Uggghh! Not a good day. The rest of the cruise was better, still tight, but better. I even finished a lobster tail!
When I first got on the scale when I came home it said I gained 4 pounds-but no way that was possible with the amount of food I ate! The next day it said I only gained 1 pound! Whew! That's more like it!
I am still tight, but it's getting a little better. I still can not eat more than a dixie cup of solid protein. This morning I had oatmeal with a chopped up banana and a few sprinkles of nuts. It all went down without a problem!
Today I go to a BBQ-we'll see how that goes. The last few days I have not been able to drink beer. I know we aren't suppose to anyway, but I like a coupld at an outdoor event. It takes me hours to finish a beer and then it's warm. I guess that's good.
I know it's got to loosen up soon. I have a September 2nd fill appointment-we'll see!
The danger of being too tight (besides PB and getting stuck) is overeating. I know this doesn't sound right but you get really hungry and tend to go for slider foods such as ice cream and other sliders. The band really works with solid protein to keep you full so a too tight band isn't necessarily a good thing.
Today the scale said 215 - I can't wait to see it in the ones!!
I am 9 months out and have lost 115lbs, but have gaind 5lbs in the last week and a half so am to a weight loss of 110lbs. I have started working out a lot harder and am hoping that it is all muscle gain, but I hate seeing the scale move this way. I still have about 30lbs to lose and need help! I don't think I am over eating, but I know that I do eat a little fast. I am also not getting full at the same point I used to, but don't think I am over eating. I am still stopping after eating a small portion of food, but because I want to not because my tummy hurts. Thoughts? I think I am going to watch my carbs more closely. HELP ME! I am really sad and starting to worry. I have come too far to go back now.
I can wear a size 6 underears (actually is a size 8-10 in clothes). Sometimes I still can't believe it. I can't rap this thing in my mind. I've been a size 24 for so long, now I'm a size 12 and still don't grasp it sometimes.
My name is Amanda. I am 28 soon to be 29 this month. I started this journey two years ago. I had heard about the gastric lap band and I wanted to look into it. I went to a seminar and the intake day and decided to hold off, I just wasn't sure it was the right decision for me. Meanwhile a friend at work had the gastric bypass and as I watched her become a much happier smaller person I began to become jealous and I wanted that to. I once again visited the idea of gastric surgery. This time I was more intreasted in the gastric sleeve becasue there would be no foreign body in me and I wouldn't need to have the port replaced. Gastric bypass didn't appeal to me as I get lots of headaches and I didn't want to be prescribed pain meds just to deal with a headache. I began my six month diet (required by my insurance) in January of this year with a starting weight of 306lbs and I am about 5' 9' ish. I am currently down to about 279. I did good on the diet I lost weight every month and never missed an appointment. Finally submitted all the paperwork to insurance on Aug. 23th. I was getting nervous and called yeaterday and was told I was approved on the 31st! The poor insurance lady I made her tell me like three times and she was so sweet she just kept telling me and was like Happy Friday! I still can't believe it it just doesn't seem real yet I guess it won't until the big day, and I can't wait!
On Aug 29th I went for my first consult and got the ball rolling, Hubby went on Sept 1st and started his also. We are both doing the Lean & Green meal plan because it seems like a better fit for us than the Medifast plan. Besides I am not a big fan of shakes. I go see the surgeon on Sept 30th and my first weigh in is Oct 21st. I need to lose 10% of my weight which totals 28 lbs. Hubby and I want to get our surgery's done at the begining of 2012 and we can't wait.

Greetings fellow losers and those about to be blessed with this wonderful procedure, I am new to this forum and would love to share a bit...
I am an ex-executive chef, still in the food industry just as a Food and Beverage Manager, for all you chefs out there who could never beat that growing waistline I cant endorse this procedure anymore then by telling you its EASY. I was 345 when I started this process, 5'7" and 56 years old. My body ached, I had no energy, I was borderline Insulin dependent, and on 5 sugar medicines which never really kept my sugar intact, I was on 4 heart meds, high blood pressure, CHF, blood thinners, I was a walking pharmacy. Needless to say I was a walking dead man waiting to drop. I almost had the lap band done about 3 years ago, but my motivation was not strong enough at the time, and I opted not to have it done. about a year ago I was ready and went through what my insurance required a 6 month process to be eligible for the procedure. I was not inspired by this process, until about 3 months into it, and I lost on my own, so I would not have to go cold turkey into this, 40 pounds on the of my surgory. it went great and I was only out of work for about 8 days, and back again...
I am now 5 1/2 months post op and I have lost an additional 60 pounds and weigh in at 245....
I will be starting a blog to keep my journals current, and to give either inspiration or encouragement to others who have doubts, and for myself to learn from all of you who have stories to tell, and advice to give.
well......I hope to hear from some of you, and I will for sure be contacting some of you as well...
pictures to follow, and congrats to all you lucky losers!!!!

I love this site. The info here is so helpful and everyone is so supportive. I was having a lot of questions and a hard time trying to figure out what I was actually supposed to be doing. Finally, Wednesday night I had an epiphany after reading replies to my worries. Glad to say I think I have finally put it together. 1/2 cup of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Water in between with an occassional cup of coffee and sugar free gum. I was invited to lunch yesterday by a friend who I had not seen for awhile. (She did not know I was banded.) I happily accepted and agreed to meet knowing I could not take my lunch into a restaurant. I was very cautious when looking over the menu. Finally ordered a grilled chicken breast with a side of refried beans. I think I had about 2 tablespoons of the meat (cut in very small pieces which I chewed, chewed, chewed) and probably about 2 tablespoons of the beans. Before I knew it, I was satified, and put my fork down. YEA ME!!! The best part was that I did not have any problems with food being stuck. I just know I am going to eat the weight right off of me with mind control and exercise.
HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Be strong Banders!
90lbs gone - never to be seen again! It is like losing a super skinny celebrity. Not having to carry around that skinny b--ch anymore!! WOOHOO!
Almost halfway there. I want to be under 200 and then I'll decide my final goal. I went yesterday for my monthly appointment. I was down 10.5 lbs since my last appointment on 8/4. I am happy with that but I know it could have been better because I've been slacking a little bit this summer. I'm trying to be happy with that loss becuase I know it is fantastic! On the other hand I worry about old habits slipping back so I am trying to stay on top of it. I am excited for fall to start. I feel like it is a new season to get on the right track and stay there.
I worked out last night and I am feeling it today! My legs are so sore but I feel great. At my appointment yesterday I did not to get a fill. I have been so tight since my last one on 8/4. Last night ate the toppings off of a veggie slice of whole wheat pizza and was stuck all night. Stuck while working out = not fun! It did help it pass though. When I got home I made myself a glass of milk with some chocolate protein powder and 3 sips in I had the stuck feeling again. Today I will do soft foods and hope that helps!
I have the day off, my mother in law is spending the day with my son and I have an appointment to get a massage and facial later on (gift certificate from Mother's Day). What a perfect day! Hope you all enjoy the last weekend of summer!
I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats! And a BIG congrats on quitting smoking a second time! It was hard enough to do it once... So - when I say BIG congrats... I mean BIIIIIG congrats! ❤️
