Day 12

I only feel hungry before breakfast.. I eat around 7ish and stay full until 10:00ish. I drink water to hold me until lunch and I eat around 11:00ish... and stay full until 2:00ish. I have a snack and am good till I get home for my protein shake and snack before bed. :wink2: Its great having this site an

~Day 7~

I have got to get a scale! :confused: I have no clue what I weigh or how much I have lost! My post op appointment is Monday March 2nd, so that will really give me a solid feel of what I have done so far. I am still tender & still having some gas pains. I am feeling pretty good overall. I started keeping up with my calorie/protein intake and started walking yesterday! :mad2: I walked for about 30 minutes with my sister. That was plenty for my first work out! :frown: Its been a few days since

Day 4

Thinking I may be boring some people here, but hey... I dont want to let any of my "fans" down. :frown: Just kidding... Yes my friends, this is day 4 and I am feeling realy good. Especially since I have moved on to thicker liquids. I am still experiencing some gas pains in my chest when eating and drinking. But it doesnt last long and after a few breaths and a burp or two, its gone. Wondering if maybe I am swallowing too much, too fast. So I will try to be sure I slow it down. I am not having an

Day 3

Including surgery day.... this is day 3 for me. All is well...hunger is not really an issue. My main annoyance right now is dry mouth and gas discomforts. I have been sleeping alot, havent taken any pain meds today. I tend to get "stoved up" when I am sitting for a long period and then start to move around, it hurts. But it gets much better when moving around.. walking. I am trying to tidy up here and there, but being careful not to do too much. I am trying to drink as much as I can, but think t

Let the healing begin

Well....I am banded! Feeling a slight discomfort....mostly in my throat. Crazy, I know...but they put that tube in your throat to assist with breathing and it always make mine sore. I do have some aching in my back & abdomen. Its not bad...just uncomfortable. I have been sipping on water and walking. So far so good. Just wanted to post a quickie for now, but I will keep updating when I can. Not sure if anyone actually reads this, but if it helps even 1 person...then that's good. I know readi

Its really gonna happen

Ok...so I am sitting in my hotel in Dallas...went to my appointment to see the surgeon today and had lost 5 lbs!! Pre-op diet was not bad at all, once I got started and the headaches went away. I am beside myself..this is like a dream that I didnt think would ever come true & so quickly once I got it started! I am getting nervous, but really anxious to get started on my new life. It really just hit me, today about how emotional and life changing this is going to be. I have been miserable for

I'm Ready.. I'm Ready!

Just a couple more days... :smile: I am sooo anxious to get started on the new me! I will head to Dallas Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for 8:30 Friday morning. Pre-op diet is not too terribly bad... :w00t: first couple days left me with a migraine, but that is gone now. Went shopping last night for lots of high protein foods, juices, yogurts, sugar free stuff..yada yada. Just wanted to get a quick post in before things get too crazy around here.

~This is it!~

:thumbup:Ok.. so this is it!! I haven’t been this excited since the birth of my last son 6 years ago. It has been 6 years since I have felt good about myself. :iagree: Weight has been a struggle for me most all of my adult life, but more so in the past 6 years. Weight Watchers, Cabbage Soup Diet, Water Diet, Inches A Weigh, Gyms, Adipex and even the Ear Stapling :cheatfree: are some things that I have tried in the past. They have all worked.. I lost tons of weight two or three times over, only
