Today I am 4 days post surgery..today is my new tomorrow!

I am feeling a little bit better than each of the days before this one..

I got through the pre-op diet with out maiming anyone for their food, or taking cheat bites..

I waited too long to get to this point to waste a single bite to ruin the surgery..well worth it..

The day of surgery I was surprisingly calm..even when they wheeled me into surgery..no jitters, the last

thing I remember was take 2 deep breaths..

I woke up in recovery feeling a little woozy is all..

up to my room..

I had no pain..

I really still don't have pain, just some referred shoulder pain from the anesthesia.

I had to stay an extra day due to a large hiatal hernia repair..something I was unaware that I had, and I had a large

fatty cyst inside the hernia, very odd, but all fixed!

I am doing all the right things..I can and will get through this!

Although last night my spouse fixed pizza..

the smell was wonderfull..

but I sipped away..

yep I got through it!

Bless your heart. You are doing great and your resolve sounds strong. Darn that pizza smell ! It is one of the worst evil tempters of all time.:angry: I found it leads to thinking of food, which I do not allow myself to do now, unless it has to do with planning a healthy meal. Get a mind set of not allowing your self to think of food. I was surprized at how many times I thought about food which led to bad shopping choices and bad choices period. So i encourage you to excercise your mind set and replace any thoughts of food with a resolve to stick to the program and it's results. I don't like to say "good luck" because I don't believe luck has anything to do with this. So I will say "good banding"

Hi CiCi!

I just had my lap band surgery on Monday!

Today I started with Pureed food, stage one!

Sounds like we had our surgerys around the same time!

I am so glad things are going well for you.

Each day I start feeling better as well!

Email me and perhaps we can help one another!

I would love a support buddy!

Thank you so much for your kind comments!! Determination and focus~ my new mantra!

Wow Melody, I have to stay on liquids for 2 weeks post surgery! I guess every surgeon is different aren't they? I won't start pureed food until Dec. 22. The day after my first visit to the dr. What is so lucky is my surgeon provides us with a 'bible' of sorts for the surgery and all that follows, along with a HUGE recipe index. Just tried an awesome one today..

Strawberry pie: In a blender add:

4 ounces fat free milk

6 ounces light yogurt * I used strawberry

1 graham cracker

1 scoop strawberry protein mix

Blend

This provided 26 grams of protein!

I will try and add a new one each day..

I am now down to my pre surgical weight, so that feels good, I have an Ipod, added a free app that tracks my footsteps with music that I choose, so I go round and round to my faves!!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
    • I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats! And a BIG congrats on quitting smoking a second time! It was hard enough to do it once... So - when I say BIG congrats... I mean BIIIIIG congrats! ❤️
