almost 3 weeks post op

Finally made it under 200...but bouncing over and under. My body is in a battle. It is resistant to lose this weight. I can feel it. I had a small salad over the weekend. Note to Self : Salad causes GAS...have Gax X handy. My first fill isnt til Sept 19th and I hope I dont just fight this (NON-weight loss) for the next 4 weeks. Its already been extremely frustrating for the last 2 weeks...When you do good with your choices, you want to see results and not seeing them is very frustrati

8 th DAY

Excited I am only 3 lbs away from the big 200 mark. Its been a long time since I have seen that. Noticed that my cheeks are not as puffy. Still have the fat chin, but I can sorta see my cheeks and I look different to myself in the mirror. Made my apt with the doc for my band fill and they are putting me on flaky foods as of Friday. In another week I can have salad and for some strange reason I have been hungry for greens. So I look forward to the ruffage. Still have alittle bit of "uncom

6 Days after Surgery

Well, I am working on my puree foods. Been having tomato soup and protein drink. Gerber peaches and apples with cherry . Taking my vitamins. I REALLY NEED to Drink more water, but I am a container kinda girl and need something that I can see my progress and calculate what I am actually drinking. Having Diet Cranberry w/Splenda too. I just dont think I am getting enough fluids. I feel fine. Still have alittle rumble in the stomach, not really much pain , until I went shoppin for a mattre

DAY 5 after Surgery

Ok, for some reason I am very hungry. Maybe its all the pureed food..Maybe I am not getting enough protein. The shakes are filling, but go right thru. I need more energy and its not happening right now. I purchased the Womens Vitamin from GNC. (the powdered version) Mix it with 4 oz water and it has alot more of what I need than the regular Flinstones vitamin. And almost all the calcium that is required as well. Its similar to a protein shake, but I had to get chocolate, as they were out

DAY 3 AFTER BANDING

Had the best sleep of all last nite. Found that sleeping on my right side with a small pillow on my stomach is very comfortable. No stretching or pinching sensations. Went and had my hair cut and colored today. That was fun and sorely needed, for if I am to become a new woman, I have to look like one. So I went bolder and better with the cut and color. Was alittle sore after Sitting up in that chair for so long. I am wondering how to make the "Angry Bird" sensation in my stomach go away.

Day TWO after Surgery

Well, this much I know. I feel 100% better. The "Tiny" Gas pills are a blessing. They have really taken alot of the bloating out of my stomach and I am not taking the pain med anymore. which was making me nauseous. I have been drinking liquids, but have a hollow feeling in my gut. Hurts sometimes. I made some potato soup (NOTE TO SELF: PEEL POTATOES NEXT TIME...) and has helped take the Hollow out. I had that yesterday about 3 times at 1 TBL per sitting and I think it is miracle pot

THE DAY AFTER

Well, No horror stories here, and I would love to visit and respond to those who have inquired about my surgery, but havnet got the energy as of yet to spend much time on the computer. All went well up until last nite. When I coughed and got nausous. Of course the nurse told me she didnt think I would need the nausea meds as I was doing so well when I left, but that would not be the case. I had already taken the liquid hydrocodone and not had issue with that making me sick...So I am no sure

THE DAY BEFORE

Well, its the day before my surgery. My clear liquids day. Am afraid I will be a raging *itch before the day is over. Oddly enough I am not nervous. Just resigned to the fact that this is the only way to control myself. I have been looking at before and after pictures of banders and its making me feel much better. Still, I am alittle sad today.

MUCH BETTER NOW

Hey Folks...Sorry for the initial blog entries, however they were exactly how I was feeling at the moment. I guess some things should be left unsaid or NOT...Anyway, I am doing much better with all the support I have found on this site and have a new and better attitude towards starting my life over with the Lap Band. I has been extremely helpful to read the message boards and listen to other who feel the same and those who have already had the surgery and had such great success with it. On

Feeling Inadequate

Having strange feelings that I should have been able to lose the weight without getting surgery. Still wondering if I should go thru with it. Forsaking alot of foods I like to eat. Gulping down sweet tea. Having feelings of Loss. Then wondering just what choices of food I will now be limited to. Wondering if my weight loss will go quickly with the 77 lbs I would like to lose. Thinking that if I dont do this, I will continue to gain and not stick to a diet even if I convince myself that

Getting Ready

Hello, I think this is the best way for me to continue to convince myself that getting the lap band is the best option for my health and happiness. So I write this 1 week out from surgery. I am a self pay and having doubts after reading the forums here. Will continue to try and convince myself this is the best option to a happier life without the weight. Its been a struggle the better part of my life and it has taken over. I am sure there will be things that I will miss eating, but I am
