Your friend is an ignoramous! She's at an age when attachment issues are totally normal . . . .

You're a good mommy Nicole, and I've seen you be firm with her. You're not going to spoil her . . unless you make the same mistake that I made and not insist that they have chores . . . . . .

Yeah, I'm not rushed, but I will love it when I'm there! I sure love that day after fill weight loss though! I had gained 2 lbs but weighed and had lost 3 as of this morning. YAY! So now I'm back to my pre-preg weight and officially getting a do-over. :laugh: I have really good restriction too! I've been getting full on 1/3-1/2 cup of food today, but I've been eating 4-5 times/day so that I make sure I get enough calories in. I'm still shooting for 1000-1200 a day.

I can't wait to get my energy back so I can start working out again. I haven't worked out in almost a week cuz I'm nauseous and tired. Only a few more weeks of that left hopefully!

Candra - I was the first surgery on a Monday too - had to be there at 6:30, had surgery at 8 am, barium swallow at 10:30 - being driven out of Richmond at 12:30. Don't forget your pillow for your stomach for the ride home. I am so excited for you and Jess -this time next week you will both be banded. If you need the pain meds, take them - you don't have to be in pain.

I am down 2 lbs since my fill on Wednesday. I had a Protein Drink for Breakfast today and refried Beans for lunch. Had a little grilled chicken (from Costco- microwaved) - was really juicy, but tasted really salty to me. I am putting a tri tip roast in the crockpot tomorrow.

It was so hot here today - 101- but it is supposed to cool down to 90 tomorrow.

I am antsy tonight - good thing I don't have anything yummy in the house. - I think I need a boyfriend. I spent 9-12:30 in my daughter's class today helping out and getting my weekend dose of her teacher. :wink: Then had parent lunch day with my 8th grader outside - ugh- then my daughter and I went to Old Navy and TJ Maxx - couldn't find anything for me - the styles seem odd to me - clothes shopping has never been enjoyable for me and I need to change my view of it.

NICOLE--Dr. Baggs said I can keep all of what's in my band the whole pregnancy UNLESS I'm losing too much weight, not getting in enough calories, or PB'ing very often. I want to be comfortable so I'll definitely listen to my body and do what I need to do. At some point I might need to have a little bit taken out (I just had the fill yesterday but I feel VERY tight today and even pb'd once tonight. :wink: ) as he said that organs tend to swell later in pregnancy and I'll feel tighter than I did earlier in the pregnancy.

I'm just gonna take it day by day and see how it goes!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
