Ups And Downs

Ok so I havent blogged in a while..... if I am honest with myself its because I was gaining a little weight..... I started solid food about 2 weeks ago and found that I could eat anything I wanted (except rice) and as much as I wanted. Needless to say Christmas was a treat!!! SO before I started solids I was at 246.6 and then I started eating and went up to 251 in 2 weeks....I guess it should be expected but it is still mentally hard to deal with...I got my 1st fill yesterday 12/29 ...3cc's (w

Day 11 Post Op

Healing well... Having less of the doubts about this being the right decision. .... I have been soooooooo busy that I don't even have time to think about food at this point. Thanksgiving was ok ..

Really ?!!! Am I Alone?

ok so I am 5 days post surgery and I get home today and my husband pulls out a box of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies ... and says look what some lady at Starbucks gave me.....my only response was "you just can't help yourself can you?" and he then gets mad at me saying it was something he wanted to share with me.........really? WTF? I understand that he didn't sign up for this but I haven't told him not to bring anything home just to not flaunt it in my face......I am so sad ... I want to cry ...

Grits : Food Of The Gods

Ok so today is post op day 4 or 5 depending on if you count the day of surgery. I have to say that I thank my dad for instilling a love of grits in me.... They may have saved me tonight...I have been so hungry and needing something (maybe a mental thing) I ate a bowl of grits which are on my approved "full liquid" diet ... and they were amazing!!!! Can I just tell you that I never thought I would be in a position to write a whole partagraph on grits, but I guess the band changes us in many ways

Am I Hungry

ok so my stomach is growleing and I hate my husband for making rice tonight but I cant tell if I am hungry or not....I don't "feel" hungry but I think I am fighting a mental thing. I drank 2 protein shakes today whick took me the better part of 2 hours each to get down ... and a little broth which felt good going down all warm ... and some water ... I am afraid of being dehydrated so I keep trying to cram fluids... even if it is just water .....took a little walk with my kids today trying to

4 Days Post Op

ok so here I sit on my couch wondering if I have made the right decision. My emotions are all over the place, I cant have a conversation without crying, I snap at my kids every time the make a noise and my husband has been cowering in the other room most of the day.. Now except for the addition of the crying this is almost a normal day. I know I am only a few days out but is normal to question your decision at this point? Everything I "eat" makes me ill...the reflux is so bad it feels like I
