had my first slice of pizza post band. Now want another one - but cannot because that will almost finish my calories for today.

Over one week on pre-opp. Under a week to the surgery. Hate the pre-op diet.

Day 12 post opp. I am not hungry. I can eat big bites and gulp water. OK-ok I should not test myself :-) I promise - I would not. I know my nose runs when it is time to stop. And I gained one wonderful skill - I can control myself about the amount of food I eat ... most times. That is new and existing. I gained Will Power I guess. I am naming my Band "WILPOW"

No longer Morbidly Obese! One month ahead of schedule & with no fills. Yey Me! Next goal - NOT to be Obese (that is going to take a while)

Ok so here goes ... I had to go on the 2 day liquid/no eating. So I did, i am trained dieter after all :-) On the 3rd day (procedure day - not lap band surgery) I came home for the time of dinner. I could not wait to eat and could not decide what I really really really want. Then a weired and unfamiliar question popped up in my head "Am I hungry?" I had a cup of water to think about it.

I did eat yummy salad with tons of veggies and other good stuff in it. I guess the 3 days triggered something. Probably another dieting cycle :-)

I decided to stick with asking myself before every meal - AM I HUNGRY? So I did it for a week and lost nine pounds.

Am I existed yes-it is 9lb.

And NO - I know I gain it back.

Freaking portions control.

NEED MY BAND NOW.
