    Still Struggling

    I was banded on November 6 and it took alot of getting use to. I agree with someone else that the slim fast may not be the best thing for you. I bought the best protein shake from Costco it has 30g of protein and 1g of sugar and in between when if I had a craving I would drink crystal light or have a cup of sugar free jello also the campbells cream of chicken soups keep the cravings at bay a little bit. I know it's hard but I think if you are constantly sipping on something you will be alright. Just remember to take it one day at a time. I go back for my first fill on the 10th of December and I'm still doing 2 protein shakes a day and a small balance dinner. Remember you are not alone it helps to have people who encourage you.....Keep your head up!

    Baby Steps!!

    Today I "realized" that i'm going to be alright. It was my jobs Thanksgiving potluck I took cream of chicken soup and my sugar free jello and I was alright. I wasn't tempted to go and get a plate and that was a big step for me. This weekend I'm starting my journey of going to the gym.......Cross your fingers, eyes and toes and wish me luck....

    How soon did you have sex post-op?

    So glad you asked this question.. I had my surgery on Nov 6 and when i went for my post op on Monday I forgot to ask...As soon as I got home my husband asked "Did you ask? Did you ask?" he looked crushed when I told him I forgot!!!...

    Today was a great day!!!

    I'm learning patience is a virtue..It seems the more days that go by my body is starting to adjust to the change that's being made. It was a killer cooking my family dinner watching them eat steak and me eating my chicken broth or drinking my protein shake..I was tempted a few times to give in then I would think you " your cravings are short term but you body is for a lifetime"....:mad2:
