Day 1
I have begun to love the idea of journaling. This isn't the first time i've started one so I have my doubts as to if I will keep it up. Been watching DVD's of "DOOGIE HOWSER" and I doubt that i'll have any thoughts as deep as his. Well today i'm feeling kinda bleh. I went and got a fill yesterday and went to a concert and wonder if I over did it. I left feeling bad and this evening I am running a fever. I hope everything is okay. Now for what i've eaten today. 1.5 cups of potato cheese soup from Black Eyed Pea Water

I'm kinda scared...
I had a fill yesterday...went to a concert and felt horrible afterwards (though I think it was probably because i didn't have anything to eat all day) and this afternoon I am running a fever. Could this be band related? Or just bad timing?

Today is day 1 of liquids...
Do they know you're getting the surgery? If so why not tell them that "dinner" wouldn't be the best idea tonight. I know for me liquids was VERY VERY HARD. Hey i'm on it again after a fill yesterday. Good luck with your surgery and your post op diet. You will do great!

Can you eat so much that you stretch your pouch?
Therefore rendering the lapband ineffective?

2nd Fill and NO Restriction?
I've had 2 fills and still nothing...hopefully the third one is the charm

You go ladies! I am done tomorrow. I did not put my menu on todays "I wills" because I knew I would be going out with friends and would not make good choices. I did not make good choices for dinner but I did not break my "I wills" NEXT TIME I will make it a goal no matter where or who i'm with. I felt horrible eating the hamburger and onion rings. I WILL MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN I EAT EVEN IF I EAT WITH FRIENDS

Wow guys it is GREAT to come home from work and see so many replies. Boysmom how did you do? Did you make your 3:00 goal? RoadQueen it is awesome you still held your self accountable for yesterday and I think it's good to modify your goals and what not. I had to cut back my Water from 8 to 6 becuase it was too much for me. 2 of your Goals are done! YEAH! Lisa that is awesome, ship it ship it! Hey after 2 days of excersizing I broke down and actually wrote it down as a goal. I was afraid to because I didn't want to write it and not do it. SO IF I'M GOING SO ARE YOU! GOT IT? :confused: You can do it...you will do it...and you will kick butt. So far i've had my healthy meals (and the salad is in the fridge) and i've had 4 bottles of water out of 6. Till tonight ~Jini MaudeisPam You go girl! You always have your goals done before I get home. Keep it up!

Really positive support
That is fantastic! I too had a friend find out (only this was by accident I didn't choose to tell them) and it has been great to have the support (even though they didn't agree with my decision) and be able to talk to them about it.

Maudeispam - great things how you doing? Lisa - very nice hey you worked on it and that is awesome. Any "I will(s) today? DeeDee- that is a great start. I teach and in some odd way it's nice not to have the temptation to go out to eat. I have to eat what I bring. So if I can make the choice to bring healthy stuff i'm good to go from then on out. Any "I wills?" I love that we are keeping this going, it is really making me stick to what I say because I don't want to come on here and tell you guys otherwise.

Haha very nice. Well I have completed 2 of my 3 so far. I drank all of my Water, did the stairs plus twenty five minutes in the fitness room (in my apartment complex) and I have brushed my teeth so I will not eat for the rest of the night. It isn't an option. *trying to hold on strong* Yay! Lisa, how you doing?
