Christmas Day 1:13 A.M.

Dear Diary,   We had our traditional Christmas Eve celebration yesterday night. I put on some clothes I had not worn in awhile and I was so at ease with myself. No tugging to stretch out clothes to make them fit better. I just put them on and felt good.   My Dad's girlfriend told me I look like I lost alot of weight. She said "You look good." I just smiled, and said thank you. I mentioned that I had cut down the amount of food I was eating. I did not say I had help with Lapband. I just didn'

First fill 2ccs 10/24/07

Dear Diary, It's been awhile, I haven't been on site lately. I'm trying to get back to a routine. So much has happened. I am sorry to say at my last Dr. appointment I had actually gained 8 lbs.. My Dr. was very upset with me. He said you're such a nice person don't you care about yourself? You have diabetes and you're eating sweets. You need to see the psychiatrist immediately at least 2 times. He is a bariatric specialized psychiatrist that uses a cognitive approach. I know it would be helpfu

Waiting for 1st fill...

Dear Diary,   I'm still waiting for my first fill appt. in the end of Oct.. I've got mixed feelings about it. One part of me wants the fill ASAP because I'm having a very difficult time staying on diet, and the other part of me doesn't want to be restricted from eating. I know, I want my cake and eat it too.   I know the band will only do it's job with restriction so I will have the fill. I just hope it isn't too tight like some people talk about. Just enough to keep hunger at bay. I a

Feeling good today...

Dear Diary,   Today I woke up refreshed and happy. I actually felt energetic enough to do some major cleaning. It's good to feel like my old self again. I never would have believed that my poor eating habits would cause so much angst and despair.   I was even energetic enough to visit my niece and her two boys. I get such joy from seeing them. For awhile there I didn't want to do much socializing. I didn't want to see anybody. It was just too much of an effort. My bounce was gone.

Stumbling-- is this Bandster Hell or what?

Dear Diary, I've been feeling so ashamed and guilty. I haven't been doing what I need to and know I must do to lose weight. Lately I've taken to eating cream puffs... not a recommended food. I'm eating well until dinner then I eat a cream puff (a large one).   At my last check up I was shocked, I had lost 8 pounds in a little under 4 weeks. I couldn't believe it. I have been cutting back on other foods and not paying attention to protein counts or calories. My big worry was low energy

7/30/07 People are noticing wt. loss

This past Saturday I went to visit my BFF. We've known eachother since we were 19 years old (and thinner). We usually get together 1-2 times/ month. She has 2 children, I have 0 (:cry) so it takes effort to get together. We went to Coco's restaurant and I ordered chicken tortilla soup and a salad. I ate slowly, but had decaf coffee (I know I should not drink with meals) when I ate a small piece of squaw bread crust w/ a small dab of butter. ( I would have eaten at least 4 pieces or more before w

7/26/07 WEIGH- IN (10 days post op)

Hello, Woke up this morning feeling great! I can actually put my arms behind my head w/o that pulling feeling near my port site. I can get out of bed w/o any moans now. Today was my first post-op visit w/ doctor. I lost 10 pounds!!:whoo:I asked my doctor if I could eat some fat free vegetable soup my DH made...he looked surprised and said absolutely. My nutritionist said at seminar 7/25/07 not to eat anything just drink protein shakes. She said if I really need to I can drink 4 sha

Feeling better on day 6 post op

7/22/07 I feel pretty good today. Lost 2 lbs. from yesterdays weigh in. That felt good. I Keep drinking lots of water, 64 ozs. plus /day as advised by nutritionist. I think that really helps with weight loss.   As for diet I'm still on post op protein drinks. I've been drinking New Direction pudding. It's supposed to be pudding but I blend with ice and cold water and make a really delicious shake. I drink 3/day. I'm still having hunger pangs. Also ate SF Jello that helped some but i

Surgery Day and Week 1

I was scheduled for 10:00 A.M. surgery but got there at 8 A.M. as requested. My doctor was ahead of schedule so I was immediately called in to get prepped, I.V. etc. I wasn't too nervous once the IV was in place. I detest IV insertions. :faint: More worried about that than the actual surgery. I have had numerous surgeries since 9 months of age.   I was told by anesthesiologist that he would give me something to relax me and the next thing I know I'm being wheeled to my hospital room. I saw
