Today was my Banded Diva Day!

Banded Diva Day... LOL I crack myself up sometimes! :lol:

First I want to thank everyone for the advice and word of encouragement. It is nice to know that I am not alone. I am truly blessed. Thank you so much.

Today, I decided to take action and do something fun. So I went to the nail shop and got my toes and eyebrows done. Then I went shopping for week 3 of my post op diet. I felt pretty good and wanted to do more but I need to slow down.

Today is my friend Mandy’s Birthday she is having her birthday party at a local club this weekend. I told her I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it or not. I explain to her I may be around to many triggers. Here is a brief history lesson.

Before me being banded almost every other weekend I was drinking… a lot. Those nights consisted of shots, shots, and bud lights. Then after club hours a trip to Jack in the Box I usually ordered 2 tacos and Jumbo Jack on sourdough. :P I know I can’t do that now or anytime soon but Mandy understand my situation.

Eventually I will have to learn how to deal with social situation but I do not want to be staying again this weekend. I was thinking about going to the movies this weekend. I never was those types of people who had to buy popcorn or nachos. I usually buy their version of a $6 dollars Icee and maybe a pretzel. Since I can have low fat cheese and crackers I thought about putting them in my purse just in case. I am so glad I have a big purse.

Anyway life is good and I have no regrets!

Thanks for reading.

It's always good to have a plan.Sounds like you've given it great thought.

You might find out that after awhile you will not have cravings as usual. I have had no problem being with ppl eating fattening food and craving some. My adult children kept saying" sorry mom" and I told them, it was not a problem, eat and enjoy.

Hoping you will be there soon.
