My first blog ever

I have never blogged before, heard a lot about it just never had anything to write about. I like the idea of having something I can look back at and see how I was feeling.

 

I just had my EDG, EKG, chest x-rays, blood work-up, and nutritionist appointment on Wednesday and Thursday. I passed all test, hurray! I have to call the surgeons office on Tuesday, not sure why, I guess for them to tell me the actual results.

 

Still have two weeks until my surgery. Nutritionist said to eat a high protein very low carb diet, she gave a list of what to eat and not. As I write I am having strawberry Greek yogurt, very high in protein. Strawberry is much better than the vanilla.

 

Was told I didn't have to lose weight just not gain any, but losing some would be beneficial to the surgery. In the past two weeks I have lost about 3lbs, haven't put a lot of effort into it but haven't been over eating either. My mind keeps reminding me that I should be eating all of my favorites because it will soon be over but I'm going through one of those spells where there is just nothing I really want, I'm kinda blah right now. Which is a good thing for my diet right now, can't say how I will feel next week. :smile2:

 

Okay that's enough for now.

Congrats on your first blog! I agree that it will be kind of eye-opening to go back in a few months and read some of those blogs. I started just before my procedure in mid-May and went back and re-read some of my blogs this morning. Interesting!

Best of luck to you; keep in touch!

Hi, Shelyshely and welcome to our little bandster group. We are all thrilled to have you here. Journaling is very important to track your feelings, etc as you take this journey. I don't enjoy wriitng in a book - I forget and go days without writing. So, I find blogging is the perfect way for me to journal. On this site you will find many, many wonderful people - all on the same journey you are on. Ask questions if you have them and you will actually get some great responses. As Debra G said, looking forward to more blogs from you. I LOVE MY LAP BAND and so will you.
