I love cheese and pasta so much that I'm wondering how I'm not Italian.

Feeling good today, I slept really good last night and I am pumped for the day!!! Whose with me????

Oh! So that's what they meant when they said hair loss! Hope my head is shiny under there!

No more knee pain, Yea!!!

chicken salad and tuna 4 weeks post op looking for other ideas to eat this other then just plain or on a cracker

hey so i have a question to ask or rather something to share..so ofcourse nice wheather mean bbqs and family gathering..so i find it hard to not want the yummy stuff i smell. so i have resorted to chewing , savoring and them spitting it out .. i dont actually swallow the food. im so sorry i know its gross but i wanted to know if thisis bad and if it can harm my sleeve at all ?

Very TIRED today, didn't sleep good at all last night, mind racing.

Day 5 - and it really is getting easier..... I never thought I would say that. Total loss so far is 8 lbs, not bad to start out with and the week is not even done yet. I wonder where I will be the day of surgery.

Today marks my 6 months Sleeversary!!!!! Yay me!! I am down 94 lbs from the date of my surgery!!! Only 17 pounds from my first goal to hit Onderland!!!!!

Onederland is in sight! It shall be mine!! Oh yes, it shall be.

feeling awesome on my pre-op diet! 7 lbs in 5 days. 9 days to go!

HOLY SHIT!!!! Things just got REAL! I received my authorization letter in the mail from my insurance company! WOOT WOOT! Now, onwards to Pre Op Diet - 5/1

10 days till my MAY 5 Surgery!!!!

Two weeks post op and first follow visit. I will not get my first fill for another four weeks. My doctor wants me to get use to eating normally with the band before filling it. I'm ok with that. He gave me five rules to live by as a bander. 1. Only eat when I'm hungry. 2. No more liquid calories. Drink no calorie liquids. 3. Avoid Carbs as much as possible. 4. Eat meet that you can crumble with your fingers (its soft opposed to hard and stringy). 5. Eat tiny portions (as much as you can hold in the palm of your hands). try and wait a few hours before drinking water after a meal to prevent washing your food down. that defeats the purpose. The food should sit in your pouch for awhile to help you feel satiated. I have already began to notice old habits fade. I eat minimally and feel fine.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Things just got REAL! I received my authorization letter in the mail from my insurance company! WOOT WOOT! Now, onwards to Pre Op Diet - 5/1
