It?s my one week bandversary

Wow one week has passed since I got banded. So how do I feel?

I feel…….

The same. Weird huh? My incisions are a constant reminder that I have something inside me that is waiting to work. Why did I say that? Because my support system (i.e. my family and friends) are asking me food related questions that I can’t answer. For example my 30th birthday is less than 2 months away and I know they want to throw me a lap band friendly party. I just love that their hearts are in the right place but it’s hard to explain to them that I do not know what me and the band can tolerate. Based on my research I found some people can eat everything they want including breads and pastas. Then I found people who cannot eat breads, pastas, and certain fruits. I would like to be one of those people that can eat whatever I want just in moderations. But time would tell.

I am no longer starving like Marvin. I called my surgeon office and they told me to try to add more fluids in and I did. But I had the weirdest dream last night and I would like to share with you.

I have a confession to make. I have a crush on Bobby Deen I don’t care he is engaged I still have crush on him. Anyway I had a dream that I was did a cooking show with him and his mama Paula Deen. I guess me dreaming about food comes in different ways… LOL

Oh I almost forgot to mention my total weight loss. Last year in August I weigh 267 with me preparing and doing the 2 week liquid diet as of today I weigh 235! That 32 pounds…. Gone! I am feeling amazing right now!

For those who are concerned about me watching the Blues Games tonight…. I will have my pillow close at hand.

Thanks for reading

Wonderful on your 1 week! For your up coming birthday, how about a buffet of salad ingredients , fresh fruits and some cold chicken, shrimp or other protein you can eat and everyone can make their plate and enjoy "your" foods. For carbs you can serve pita breads, wraps so everyone can have something they enjoy. I love party planning. Desserts can be more fruit, SF fudgicles and Popsicles. And small cup cakes and you can have a bite.

I hope I helped you.

That is a great idea! Because July will be very hot (well maybe I stay in the Midwest and our weather is funny as of lately) This will work thanks!
