      It sure is! Great attitude. we only have control of what we do, not what the results are.

    #NSV 1 for today - girdles actually work... before they just would smooth out the fat - now they actually hold stuff in. #NSV 2 - folks at the meeting this morning were all "you're losing so much weight" :) Feels good... gotta keep it up.

      Yep. It is going to go kicking and screaming on the way out!

      It seems like belly fat is always the last one to leave the party. LOL but you are doing great!

      I hear you! For me, it's belly fat and boobs. I look like a Popsicle. But if we keep on working, this too shall pass.

    #NSV - I work out for 1 hour every morning. (cardio and strength training). Prior to the surgery, I couldn't walk around for 15 minutes w/o huffing and puffing.

      Doesn't it feel great when exercise GIVES you energy instead of draining it??? I did a 50 minute run/walk cycle this morning and was dripping sweat at the end and thinking "BOY did that feel great!" :)

       

      Way to go!

  7. Lite'N'Sweet

    #NSV - blood pressure was 125 over 76. Not perfect, but NOT struggling. YES!

    I'm longing for the sensation of physical satiety provided by the band. Not just my mental imposed satiety that I know I should be following in order to be successful. Still on track tho...

      That's great.

  10. Lite'N'Sweet

    First fill this morning. 4cc's... feels a little like post op did with the little lump in the back of my throat... but fluids are going down fine.

  11. Lite'N'Sweet

    First picture I've taken in a while where I didn't hate everything about how I looked... #progress

    1. blacktxbelle

      blacktxbelle

      Progress is our mantra here it seems. Just remember that the pictures we take from here on are memories or the people we once were. #It only gets better from here

    2. Lite'N'Sweet

      Lite'N'Sweet

      YES!!!!! I love that! Thank you!

  14. Lite'N'Sweet

    I just had some roasted garlic hummus that was EV.ER.Y.THING.

  15. Lite'N'Sweet

    Moving right along... sticking to the plan... trying to stay away from the scale... Go me!

    1. blacktxbelle

      blacktxbelle

      Sounds like you are doing very well. I understand the desire to weigh in I have been trying to avoid it with this pre-op diet. Keep up the good work!

       

  16. Lite'N'Sweet

    First full week of work. Luckily it keeps me busy enough that pre-band I barely ate. That should help facilitate just drinking my liquids this week! Here we go!!

      There you go!! Congrats!! I think I had just as much of a loss in the first week (the only week I was on liquids). It's a nice feeling isn't it? See you in onderland soon!!

  18. Lite'N'Sweet

    Back to work today... wish I didn't have to go... *Sigh*

  19. Lite'N'Sweet

    I am EXTREMELY grateful for chicken soup broth today. VERY different than chicken broth...

      Isn't the best when you finally get a little flavor!!!!

      I mean... it made a WORLD of difference for REAL

      I dont like salty foods, and I found even the low sodium chicken broth to be way too salty. But I loved Campbells chicken noodle soup ( without the chicken or noodles) ! It did'nt taste salty at all . Same story with Campbelks vegetable beef soip. Hope you're feeling good! Good luck !

    If everyone would just stop eating solids around me for about 3 weeks, that'd be great.... thaaaaanks.... #Day2

      Lite'N'Sweet

      You're absolutely right. And everyone else is constantly reminding me LOLOLOL. Ramping up to going it alone. It's only day 2... I'll have the swing of it by next week :)
