    JAN. 14, 2011 - FRIDAY - DAY 12 OF 2 WEEK PRE OP DIET - WELL IT IS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO MY SURGERY DAY OF MONDAY. I AM STARTING TO GET NERVOUS! I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T READ THE BLOGS ON ACTUAL SURGERY DAY. PRETTY SCARY, MAKES ME WANT TO CANCEL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY SO POSITIVE UP TO THIS POINT. I HAVE BEEN KINDA MOODY TODAY TOO! I DO HAVE MY LIL GRANDSON HERE WITH ME, WHICH MAKES THE DAY SO MUCH MORE TOLERABLE! HE KEEPS ME BUSY FOR SURE! HAD MY USUAL PROTEIN SHAKES TODAY, ALONG WITH SUGAR FREE JELLO AND POPSICLE, PROTEIN BAR, HOT DECAF TEA, AND BROTH. I TRIED THE BEEF BROTH TODAY - I DID NOT CARE FOR IT. I LIKE THE CHICKEN BROTH THOUGH. TRYING TO GET THINGS TOGETHER THAT I WILL NEED TO TAKE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR SURGERY. I KEEP WONDERING HOW MUCH MORE WEIGHT I LOST ON THIS 2 WK. PRE OP DIET. MY SCALE SHOWS I LOST SOME MORE, BUT IT IS UNRELIABLE - SO I WILL WAIT FOR THE OFFICIAL WEIGHT WHEN I GET TO THE HOSPITAL I GUESS.

VERY RESTLESS WORRYING ABOUT THE PROCEDURE. WELL IT WENT WELL AND WAS VERY FAST. I REALLY DON'T REMEMBER MUCH ABOUT IT! THEY GAVE ME SOME GOOD DRUGS - LOL SO MY LAPBAND SURGERY IS ON AS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT MONDAY 1/17. THEY GAVE ME SOME HOT TEA AND A POPSICLE FOLLOWING MY EGD. I HAD SOME SUGAR FREE JELLO A WHILE AGO - SO THAT LEAVES ME WITH MY PROTEIN SHAKES TO HAVE YET TODAY AND THAT'S IT! GEEZ! OH YAH - I HAD MY PROTEIN BAR AND ANOTHER DECAF CUP OF TEA TODAY ALSO. IT IS SNOWIG AND FREEZING COLD OUT TODAY HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA SO I JUST DO NOT FEEL LIKE TAKING MY DAILY WALK AROUND THE BLOCK. I WILL INSTEAD JUST WALK AROUND THE HOUSE AND STUFF FOR EXERCISE.

STILL YUK! BUT I GOT IT DOWN. OH MAN - I HAVE TO DO 3 OF THESE A DAY PLUS 2 OF THE PROTEIN BARS WHICH ARE JUST AS BAD. I WANT MY LEAN CUISINE 200 CAL DINNERS BACK. THEY WERE SO TASTY AND MUCH MORE SATISFYING. BUT NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM. NEED TO SHRINK THE LIVER FOR THE BAND OPERATION ON 1/17. SO I HAVE TO SUCK IT UP! LOL TOOK 1 WALK TODAY WITH MY HUSBAND OUTSIDE - WALKED 2 BLOCKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. GONNA GO TAKE ANOTHER WALK I THINK THIS EVENING BY MYSELF. IT WILL GET MY MIND OFF OF THE CRAPPY SHAKES I HAVE TO DRINK! CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ALL TO BE OVER AND BE ABLE TO EAT REAL FOOD AGAIN ONLY BETTER CHOICES OF COURSE. LOW CALORIES HIGH PROTEIN LOW FAT MEALS. I LEARNED MY LESSON HOPEFULLY!!! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE - IF IT TASTE GOOD - IT'S NO GOOD FOR YOU! LOL

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I SWITCHED MY MILK ONCE AGAIN TO ALMOND MILK WHICH IS LACTOSE FREE AS WELL. MY FIBROMYALGIA IS REALLY ACTING UP TODAY. I AM SO ACHEY - I CAN'T STAND IT. I DON'T FEEL LIKE WALKING TODAY. I DID GET OUT AND WENT SHOPPING THOUGH. I GUESS I GOT SOME EXERCISE THAT WAY. I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO GO THOUGH. HAD MY 2 PRTEIN SHAKES, 1 SMALL SUGAR FREE JELLO, 1 SUGARFREE POPSICLE, AND A PROTEIN BAR WITH SOME DECAF HOT TEA. THAT'S IT! I KEEP FEELING EACH MORNING LIKE I LOST MORE WT. BUT THE SCALE DOESN'T SEEM TO MOVE MUCH????? WHAT THE HECK? WELL TOMORROW MORNING IS MY EGD. I HAVE TO BE NPO (NOTHING TO EAT OR DRINK AFTER MIDNIGHT) - HA - THAT'S A JOKE! I AM ALWAYS IN BED BY 10 PM USUALLY!!! NOT THAT I WOULD BE ALLOWED TO EAT OR DRINK ANYWAY!!!! WELL I HOPE TOMORROW GOES WELL FOR ME AND THEY DON'T FIND ANY ULCER. I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO JEPORDIZE MY BANDING SURGERY.

    JAN. 8, 2011 - SATURDAY - DAY 6 OF 2 WK. PRE OP DIET. I HAVE BEEN SO GROUCHY TODAY AND HUNGRY!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS WEEK OVER WITH. I AM STILL STRUGGLING TO GET THESE BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE PROTEIN SHAKES DOWN. 1 DOWN - 2 MORE TO GO YET FOR TODAY. I ONLY HAD THE 1 PROTEIN BAR TODAY AND I DECIDED I AM NOT GOING TO EAT 2 OF THEM. I DID HAVE 1 SMALL CONTAINER OF SUGAR FREE JELLO AND 1 SUGAR FREE POPSICLE. WOW - THAT WAS THE HIGHLITE OF MY DAY - THOUGHT I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW " REAL" FOOD WILL TASTE TO ME - WHEN I CAN FINALLY EAT IT!!! TOOK MY GRANDSON TO BURGER KING TODAY SO HE COULD PLAY IN THE GYM AREA. SINCE IT IS SNOWING OUT. IT WAS NICE TO GET OUT. I ENJOYED SITTING AND WATCHING HIM PLAY THERE. BY THE WAY - HE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HIS FIRST WALK WITH GRANDMA YESTERDAY IN THE SNOW (1ST WALK WITH ME IN OVER 2 YRS.). WE WALKED FOR 15 MIN. WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 BLOCKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT WAS FUN. I AM DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT TO TAKE A WALK WITH MY HUSBAND TODAY AS IT IS REALLY COMING DOWN - THE SNOW! I SURE DON'T WANT TO FALL. - BUT IF I DON'T - I WILL FILL LIKE I CHEATED TODAY!! LOL WHY IS IT THAT I FEEL LIKE I AM LOSING WEIGHT AND MY STOMACH KEEPS GURGLING AND TELLING ME IT'S STARVING - YET THE SCALE DOESN'T SEEM TO EVER MOVE???? GEEZ!

    WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5, 2011 - DAY 3 OF PRE OP DIET - WELL I SLEPT IN UNTIL 8:30 AM TODAY. A LITTLE RESTLESS LAST NIGHT DUE TO MY 9 AM APPT. WITH DR. MARLEY RE: PRE OP SURGERY. I LOST 5 MORE LBS. FOR A TOTAL OF 10 LBS. LOST SO FAR IN MY JOURNEY. NOT BAD CONSIDERING I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE GAINED WT. OVER THE HOLIDAYS. YEH ME! I HAD LABS DONE AND AN EKG. I GOT TO TALK WITH THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST RE: MY SURGERY. HE ASSURED ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN RECOVERY DUE TO MY SLEEP APNEA. DR. MARLEY HAD ME SWITCH TO THE BARIATRIC ADVANTAGE PROTEIN SHAKES 3 TIMES A DAY ALONG WITH 2 CONTROL BARS. (INSTEAD OF THE CARNATIONS DRINKS AND LEAN CUSINE DINNERS) SO THAT I WILL GET MORE PROTEIN AND LESS CALORIES. I WAS NOT AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT THAT! I THINK THEY TASTE TERRIBLE. YUK! I LOVED THE LEAN CUISINE DINNERS AND SOME OF THEM WERE LESS THAN 200 CALORIES. GO FIGURE??? OH WELL. I HAVE TO COMPLY I GUESS. I AM SCHEDULED FOR AN EGD DUE TO HAVING GERD FOR OVER 5 YRS. AND BEING ON MEDICINE FOR IT. IT IS NEXT TUESDAY. HOPE ALL GOES WELL. CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE EVERYTHING OVER AND DONE WITH AND BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. ENJOYED MY CAFFEINE FREE HOT TEA THIS AM AND AGAIN TONIGHT. ALSO WENT FOR A WALK WITH MY HUSBAND OUTSIDE THIS AFTERNOON. WE WALKED 2 BLOCKS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO GET EASIER EACH DAY. I WAS THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO DO THIS TWICE A DAY MAYBE STARTING TOMORROW. WE'LL SEE!

    BIKING HARD

    By roseyposey,

    MY HUBBY AND I WENT BIKING TODAY. WE BIKED 5 MILES IN AND 5 MILES BACK OUT. WE WENT ON A TRAIL WHICH IS OF COURSE EASIER TO RIDE BUT I GOTTA TELL YA - I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I COULD EVER DO THIS. REMEMBER I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA. LAST TIME I RODE MY BIKE WAS 2 YRS. AGO AND I WAS 50 LBS HEAVIER AND COULD ONLY DO A TOTAL OF 4 MILES AND IT JUST ABOUT KILLED ME FOR REAL!!! SO 10 MILES TOTAL BIKE RIDE TODAY IS JUST UNBELIEVEABLE FOR ME!!! YEAH ME!!!

You def lose wt. and it gets you back on track. It gives you your restriction back. So if you are tired of getting fills - try this and see if it helps for you! Good luck!

    JAN. 7, 2011 FRIDAY - DAY 5 OF PRE OP DIET - WELL I GOT UP THIS AM AROUND 7:30 AM AND FOUND THAT IT HAD SNOWED ABOUT 3 INCHES. SO I WENT OUT AND SHOVELED A LIL. HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN MANY MANY YEARS! I THEN MADE A SHOPPING TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE (ANOTHER THING I DON'T OFTEN DO - MY HUSBAND USUALLY DOES THE SHOPPING). I HAD TO GO BUY SOME LACTOSE FREE MILK FOR MY PROTEIN SHAKES BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HAVING DIAHREA FOR PAST FEW DAYS AND I SUSPECT I MAY BE LACTOSE INTOLERANT AND WITH HAVING TO DRINK SO MUCH MILK LATELY WITH THE PROTEIN SHAKES - I KINDA FIGURE THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON. IF NOT THAT - THEN I MUST HAVE PICKED UP A STOMACH VIRUS. GREAT! I HOPE NOT! ANYWAYS - I GOT THE LACTOSE FREE MILK AND MADE MY PROTEIN SHAKE. SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. MY STOMACH IS HURTING KINDA RIGHT NOW - SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I WONDER IF PERHAPS IT IS FROM PROTEIN OVERLOAD??? MY STOMACH IS NOT USED TO IT?? I GUESS I WILL KNOW SOON ENOUGH - IF I HAVE ANY MORE DIAHREA. I ALSO HAD A CUP OF HOT CAFFEINE FREE TEA. IT SEEMS TO RELAX ME A LITTLE. ONE THING I AM FINDING HARD IT SEEMS - IS SEEING ALL THESE "FOOD" COMMERCIALS ON T.V. - GEEZ - THEY TRY TO SABOTAGE YOUR DIET FOR SURE!!! I FOUND THAT SWITCHING THE TV STATION FOR A COUPLE SECONDS TILL THE COMMERCIAL IS OVER - HELPS! LOL WELL I GOT 2 MORE PROTEIN SHAKES AND 2 PROTEIN BARS TO GET DOWN TODAY YET. - I TRULY HATE THEM ALL!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS NIGHTMEAR OF A 2 WEEK PRE OP DIET IS OVER!!!! AMEN - ON A BRIGHTER NOTE, I AM ANTICIPATING MY 5 YR. OLD GRANDSON, AYDAN COMING TODAY FOR THE WEEKEND. HE WILL BE HERE AT 4 PM. I AM DEFINITELY GONNA TAKE HIM FOR A WALK OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW. THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO FOR AT LEAST 2 YRS. MY HUSBAND, HIS STEP GRANDFATHER WAS THE ONE WHO ALWAYS TOOK HIM. I MISSED OUT. DUE TO MY CONDITION OF FIBROMYALGIA - IT IS VERY PAINFUL AND DIFFICULT TO WALK. WELL SINCE I LOST 10 LBS. RECENTLY, AND I AM FEELING A LIL BETTER ABOUT WALKING, I AM DEFINITELY GONNA GO ON THAT WALK WITH THE BOTH OF THEM. YEH!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT MY GRANDSON WILL BE THINKING? WHAT THE HECK - GRANDMA'S FINALLY COMING ON A WALK WITH US????? HA HA - CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
