Are you hungry or is it your brain???

I know this is not anything new, but to me it's a light bulb moment!!! Am "I" hungry or is it just my mind??? Now before eating I have to think about it. Am I really hungry or is it all in my head? So when I open the fridge and grab for something, I stop close my eyes and think, is it real or in my head? I have stopped from grabbing many things I shouldn't. When It is hunger I stop again and ask myself should I eat this or this? making wise good nutritional choices. No I'm not perfect an

It's time for real food

Today is the day I get to eat real food! No more liquids, ya! well I will continue to do the liquids when I just don't have time to eat. That does come up every now and again, this way I'm covered. Part of me is afraid to eat, but I know if I take it slow it will all be ok.   Every day I wake up I'm so grateful for this procedure/process and I wonder if I can do this? You know how you have tried everything written and still fail. I wonder if I will fail at this too? I know it's all in

Amazing how much water a person carries

Since April 22, post op diet, and surgery 5/8 I've lost 23 lbs. I have ankles, I really have ankles and slender feet. My DH said last night, baby don't think I've ever seen your ankles before. I laughed. This is just to friggin wonderful! I love the part about not being hungry. My Drs. PA said it won't last??? may be it will??? I know, from reading all the posts here, that each person is different. I'm doing so well and am enjoying my new freedome of walking again. I'm so blessed and so

The real journey begins

Last Friday 5/8 I was banded. OH BABY!!! :ohmy: Of course that day our area was hit with a really bad storm, 17 tornados touched down in our surrounding area. Of course I had no clue, I was in lala land! They said they had to postpone my surgery till the storm passed over but I still had no clue how bad it was. A few nights later I finally was able to see the news and asked my husband, "What the hell happened"? I'm just glad our home and family/friends were ok and feel so bad for the people

Count down

Just got a call from the docs office, I have to be at the surgery center at 7 a.m. tomorrow 5/8. Hopefully if all goes well with his first surgery I should be in there around 9 a.m? I'm his 2nd surgery of the day, so he should still be pretty fresh? :thumbup: I'm not a very patient person, but I have been trying to be calm about this all, all the waiting. I haven't killed anyone yet, so I'd say I'm doing pretty good. I just want to be on my way, ya know. I really thought I'd come out of sur

Getting ready

Well I have one more week to go until Band Day. this week is liquids and 1 small meal. Saturday I start all liquids. It's really not to bad. I found some protein stuff I really like and have some variety. It's my mind that's starving. I have to turn food commercials off on TV and can't be around food just sitting there, or else! The gremlin comes out in me! heheh I just want this to be over so I can get on with my life. All I look at are normal size clothing and dream! Well good luck to

The beginning of a long journey

Have never in my life written a blog. But here goes. I thought I should have some kind of diary about this new journey I'm about to start. I'll see my dr. one more time and then get my surgery date, tomorrow 4/23. I've jumped thru all the hoops so now I'm on the pre surgery diet. So far so good, its not to bad. My DH is so supportive of all this, he's been a real doll about it all. He's even helping me exercise. So far I'm starting at 285, I'm only 5'1". I have such a hard time moving around.
