sharsing

It;s been awhile since i've posted. I have been away from my computer. I hate winter time we had a bad snow storm followed by an ice storm and then more snow. I did not get to the dr. for my fill on the 28th of jan so I'm sched. for the 25th of feb my bandster hell has been prolonged by a month. I have extreme hunger trying to keep meals to 1/2 cup some days I'm successful, some days not so much, I have lost 23 lbs since dec.29th so I'm o.k. with that. I have a hard time getting in all the liquids and not always sure about the protien. But for sure staying away from carbs and fat.:scared2:

Thanks! I did a little shopping, got some lose clothes to wear for a while I guess I,m still healing.

I don't know if it's winter or an after surg thing, but I am grumpy everyday! My weightloss has ground to a halt. I have tried some mushies then tried to eat chicken chili. as per dr suggestion, the scale has stopped moving! I have increased my activity and even did 15 mins of a exercise dvd. On saturday when I woke up my abdomen area ached:tt1: and I was in the worst mood:thumbdown:I did some housework and then I decided to just go back on liquids and puddings and jellos and Protien shakes but, I'm so depressed I don't even want to eat that. I feel like I just should not eat at all.I do feel like I am starving all the time:angry:I did not expect to feel like this. I wil be getting a fill on the 29th. I thought getting this thing would give me restriction and satiety. I am really hating this I hope it's just a phase.:tounge_smile:

Today was a good day! I went to the Dr. and he said everything seemed to be o.k. so he said I can eat mushies for a week and then try some reg food as tolerated.Then on the 29th I will probably get a fill. So far so good. The first 2 weeks were really hard being on liquids but it was so worth it. I have lost 18 pounds I hope to never see again! Now I can start my exercise again that is a real stress buster that I have been misssing!

Also today I taked to my daughter's friend mom who is having the band surg. on Monday. It's nice to know someone locally who is going thru the same thing. I hope and pray she will be ok.:tounge_smile:

I not quite sure how this blog thing works so here I go. I was banded on 12/29/08 in northern ky. Everything went o.k.:thumbup: Now it is 11 days on a liquid diet, I am hating this part as i guess most do.:tounge_smile::thumbup: Monday I have an appt wirh the Dr. I hoping then I can start on more pureed foods. I have been very faithful to this process. I am afraid to start pureed foods because i might eat too much.:frown:Today i did a little exercise (walking dvd) for about 20 min and worked on installing new camera software for new cameras. a big part of this initial period is keeping busy mentally cuz I'm not so much into the physical yet. Today my energy is low and I think I am having heart palpatations(anxiety).
