July 4th weekend is over...THANK GOODNESS

whew...glad that weekend is over..my weekend was full of camping and fun in the sun with a large group of about 30 people and you know what that means...food food and more food...oh yeah and then desert and drinking and oh wait...more freaking food. I think I did well. I brought my own snacks and made sure to stay away from most starchy things during meals...if I went for sliders like the chips and dip it was just one or two. Got home and weighed myself this morning and I think I might have e

addicted to carbs

yup...I've realized it!!! I really am addicted to carbs...I think I was truly in denial but it's quite apparent with each passing day after being banded...I'm an addict!!! As of today I have no food restrictions...this is gonna get interesting...thought before I was going to try to avoid getting a fill but it's obvious i'm gonna need one and soon...to bad I have to wait 2 weeks...this is gonna get ugly!!

lil weight gain

I was so excited to have lost 9lbs a week after surgery buuuut...that when mushies started and ruined it all for me. I weighed myself this morning and it looks like I have gained 4lbs...hoping this is only temporary and the scale takes a turn for the better with a quickness!

Day # 11

Finally finally finally had a bowel movement...dear lord I thought it would never happen...I think it was because of all the pain meds. hoping they will go back to normal now. Food is going down well...haven't gotten sick and I even had a very small amount of pasta. Don't think I want to get much restriction so I can enjoy the occasional pasta dish. Food portions are great eating off of a salad plate now vs. a big dinner plate and filling the plate.

Day # 10

I am finding already that lunch is going to be the heardest meal of the day for me. I haven't realized mentally that I don't have acid reflux anymore and things like lettuce, veggies, and a million other things will not give me extreme heartburn. Can't wait for my magic bullet to arrive so I can maybe make some smoothies for my lunch. hmmm...egg salad...that sounds pretty good..although so does Oreo's and milk lol

Post Op day # 9

Day # 9   Not to bad today...I think the gas is almost gone...thank you jesus :rolleyes2: I have started mushies and enjoyed some scrambled eggs for breakfast...thinking about some cheese sticks for lunch...ooo and dinner some Meatloaf yummy! Still hoping for a bowel movement sometime soon...will call the MD office on monday if nothing has happened by then.
