a bad day

Well I just need to share a bit! I was having a real struggle yesterday. It was the first day that it has happened since March 4th when I made the choice to go forward with my surgery! ( which was May 4th ) I had a really hard time staying on the right foods! for instants I ate 1/4 of a toasted cheese sandwich! yep bread! I know better than that. But before I realized what I did it was down! and then I make the little ones popcorn for there snack... and here I was popping it into my mouth! I c

Day 6 post op

Today is Six days post op and I am feeling good. I am still having a time getting down my liquids. I have managed two protein drinks A day. I think that's good for now. I am really not hungry at all. Today I see Dr.Srikanth for my first follow up. I know the scales are down mine at home 8 lbs. so we will see what they have to say. I went thru and got rid of my winter clothes. I know I will not wear them again and no need to look at them. I did save the outfit that I went to my first appointment

4 days post-opt

Its hard to believe that I have been banded for 4 days. OK I can tell because the pain is still there. I am really feeling the gas. I have been using Gas-X but I think that may be causing diarrhea. I don't know for sure. Today I got up @ 6:15 AM and tried to stay on my regular schedule. Will I had first off started with a cup of chicken broth. that took nearly hour to drink. I'm full I guess. or tight. Now its 9 AM and time for a protein drink I made one from Enjoy Health Cappuccino. I am goin

31 Days left

Will today was interesting, I went for weigh in and found out I stayed the same.:think I am not sure why no weight loss. But they put me ON liquid diet for a week to see if there is a change. I sure hope so I have to lose thirty lbs before surgery. I went for my nutrition appointment today . The nutritionist thought maybe due to my fast loss my body is saying STOP.. Oh dear body you can't do that too me! I feel like I should of lost something. Not a thing but protein has crossed my lips. I did

Count down 34 days

:clap2: One more step down. Friday I had my cardio appointment. I guess that they think most people who are "super super Morbidly obese" should have heart problems. Heck I keep feeling like they want me to be sick! :faint: Anyway the appointment went great. BUT...now I have to have a echo- cardiogram and stress echo-cardiogram. SO that will be the 21 and I will be done with appointments. I cant believe that I only have 34 days left. I am so excited. Today we spent the day working at mom & da

Getting Close

Gee! where has the time gone since I was last here. I know spending it at the Hospital praying that dad will make it this time through. I had my visit with Dr. Srikanth and paid for my surgery. OK put a deposit down. $4000.00. He gave me a list of appointments to make and I went out in my car and schedule them all. So far I have seen my Physician Dr. Jacobson who stood behind me 100%. But felt a lot of the appointment were not needed. I saw the psychologist, guess I"m OK there. Went and had brea

Baby Steps

Will I am taking the steps to my new life, and you always start with baby steps... Yesterday I made my appointment with Dr. Srikanth in Tacoma Washington. A few weeks ago I went to the seminar with my husband Rick who is so supportive of this with me.. I could not ask for anyone to be more than him. :clap2: I have had a weight problem since birth.. OK not birth lbs but three weeks after birth tripled my weight ( thats what mom told me ) put on a diet at three weeks old.. can you believe it! I ha
