What to pack for a low carb snack.....

I don't eat nuts or popcorn, my surgeon said not to. So I am always looking for something to bring to the movies or on our long drives. I don't eat out anymore because it's not worth it. I don't enjoy watching everyone eat stuff i can't, so I would rather eat at home and spend my money on doing fun stuff.   Some things I pack: low fat string cheese turkey pepperoni homemade low carb peanut butter cookies I always like to have a protien shaker with my protien powder in it, then I just add w

I Own Every Self-Help Book On The Market, One Day I Will Be Fixed!

I talk a good game but can I follow my own advice? I have always been told that I give great advice, but I just can't seem to incorporate my advice into my life.   Between the selfhelp books, the weightloss books and the devotional books...I thought I would have my life more put together. My kids are healthy, smart and seem to very happy. I monitor thier food, thier homework, thier friends. I am not over protective because I feel they need to fall down so they know how to pick themselves up. W

First Day Of Soft Foods, I Don't Like It.

I was just getting used to the soups and protien drinks and now.... I don't know if I am mentally ready to move on. When my nurse said I could add mashed potatos and other foods to my meals, I didn't hear anything after mashed potatos. My mind immediately saw a bag of potatos, a block of cream cheese, a stick of butter and a can of PET milk. Oh the horror!!! I know myself, adding the white carbs will sabatoge anything I have done so far. I am a carb junkie.   I went to the store and purchase

By George I Think I Finally Got It....

No not completely. I may not have the experience that some bandsters do, but I am quickly learning in my 13 short days. I am sooo very greatful I have found ways to enjoy my protien powder without getting bored. I am very happy I invested in a Magic Blender. It's been my lifesaver. I put all my Light Progresso soups in it with some chicken or beef broth...to make it soupier. I add vanilla and/or chocolate protien powder to a cup of ice and a cup of coffee in the morning to make an iced coffee. I

Day 12....

So I went to the gym again today, I have been everyday this week. I only walk on the treadmill at a 2.8 or 3,0 speed and a 1 incline. I walk for 2 miles and that it. The treadmills are equiped with cable tv so the time seems to pass quickly.   I used the fitness room scale, which is what my surgeon has, this is the printout I got   Weight 233 started 250 BMI 37 40 Fat % 51 47   There was more, but this is what caught my attention. I am happy about my progress, exspecially

Wow, What A Difference A Day Can Make!!

So, Day 8 is here and I can't believe what a difference I feel every day. I was still hurting on Friday (Day 5) and every day since I have woken up feeling better and better. The neck pain can still get pretty bad, so I cut back to 3 oz. of liquid at a time and it was a big difference.   I am down 19 lbs. since I started my pre op, I am not starving or feeling deprived. I am learning to eat to live. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the flavor of a good steak or some lasagna....but I k

Day 1 And 2 Post Op

I am hanging tough through a tough time. I have NO regrets, I am just posting the facts. I am sore and the gas bubble are excruciating. I am taking gas x strips, it is not helping. I am walking as much as I can, it's not helping. I am just biding my time until I am past the initial aches and pains. I know this will be easier in a few days, I am excited to get to the point where I can see some results. I know it's based on my actions, I am 100% dedicated. I couldn't imagine going through this muc

What?1?! No Garlic Bread!!

That was the response I got at Olive Garden today when I said "no thankyou" to the complimentary garlic bread. pat pat pat myself on the back. Seems like small potatoes, but it was a HUGE triumph for me.   I love breads, rice, pastas...oh and the delicious mashed potatoes made with cream cheese!!! I am a not just a food addict, I am addicted to starch.   So, I orded the soup (pasta fagioli) and salad...yes with the dressing. But I did not order anything carb loaded. I thought about asking

Happy Birthday America!!

Today, 4th of July, has always been associated with hamburgers on the grill and apple pie. I am a military spouse so our holidays are spent with our military friends and celebrating. I just knew there would be more food than I could control myself with, ya' know what? There was, and I cooked every bit of it. I had some homemade chicken wings on the grill, a scoop of potato salad, a scoop of baked beans and a corn on the cob. Sounds pretty bad huh? Especially on my pre op diet, well, I did great

Pre Op Diet : Day 1

Letter to myself:   Dear Keke,   You didn't quite get through your first day without a struggle, it's okay. Day 2 will be better. The only person you can dissapoint is yourself, and you are pretty hard on yourself. Remember all the times you couldn't do things with your kids because your weight held you back...swimming, hiking and just walking around a theme park. Your kids missed out on a trail walk at the Grand Canyon because you couldn't do it. We drove the strip in Vegas because you c

T Minus 2 Days Till Preop Diet Begins.

So, I did all my grocery shopping today for my pre op diet. I am sooo very scared to fail, but I am working on that. I know I need a positive attitude to get through this. I know some people may think.."OMG, its only 2 weeks!!". Well, if I the will power to control my food intake I wouldn't be getting the Lap Band. I have spent many hours researching, reading articles and mentally preparing myself for this. It's not easy, I can't imagine it was easy for anyone. I do, however, have the desire an

The Weekend Is Coming, The Weekend Is Coming!!

Weekends are the hardest for me. We don't go anywhere except the pool right now and that means snacks. I am sucking down water like a fish, I am trying to pack fresh fruit for snacks...but it's 101-105 out there and even my cooler isn't keepin' it cold. Then when we are home, we are so drained from the heat, nobody wants to cook so we usually end up with pizza. I say to myself, well I will just have one peice or I will make a quick iceburg salad. NEVER WORKS!! What's wrong with my brain. My answ

Getting Ready For The Countdown

I start my 2 week pre-op diet on July 2. I have my shakes ready, my freezer is full of chicken, fish and veggies. I started taking my multi-vitamin faithfully, post-op prescriptions are purchased.   Phew, I am so ready for this. I went to the mall to buy my 10yr old new shoes. We spent less than hour and my knees and back are killing me. Some days I feel like I am carrying weights under my clothes, it's miserable and some days suffocating.   I was not always a big girl. I was 130 lbs when i
