New Journey

Oh and by the way Indiogirl55, you look great! I am 37 and not only would I like to look like you at 55, I wouldnt mind looking like you now! So you are anything but a fat old woman! you are doing great!

Thanks for responding IndioGirl55 ! I just passsed the "mushies stage" My doctor has me strictly on protien. i am not allowed veggies or fruit yet. It is almost like the Atkins, I can not even have milk. I am mainly eating chicken and some avocado, that's what i have for lunch. I am really craving a salad! After a while the all protein thing gets to me. in about a month I should be able to add a vegetable a day. I do walk, and i dont know if it's just me but sometimes when i am feeling good i speed up the treadmill and my port kind of feels like it throbs and it feels "tight" like it bulges a little, i usually slow my pace and that helps. But you are right it's about changing my eating habits and keeping busy! It's just nice to have a place where even though we all experience different things, we are all in the same boat!!

Hi everyone! I have been reading this forum for some time now. I was banded October 16th but even from before this site really helped me as to what to expect. To be totally honest I am still rather confused about alot of things, and wuite franky somtimes i get discouraged. I have lost 16lbs, most of it from my pre-op liqueid diet. My first fill isnt until Dec. 5th and to be quite honest I am nervous about that. I have been feeling hungry again. As i read through the forum this morning i noticed the term head hunger was used often and i believe that is part of my problem. Perhaps I am used to failing at losing weight that i fear this will be another loss because of the "head hunger" if i wasnt able to conquer it before, how will I now? All I know is I have quite the journey ahead! Good luck to all of you and I hoep to post good news and encouragment to others some day soon!
