banded 6/26/09...follow my journey



Recommended Posts

I’m doing good! I don’t have any complications and am in day 5 today. I have lost 6 lbs as of today. I took the week off and actually laid by the pool today.....Today I had 2 oz of yogert and 2 oz pureed chicken in my parents vitablender…..I’m drinking lots of Water and cranberry juice. Everything seems to be going down nicely. I have been walking every morning with my mom at 9am. Today we walked 2 miles….I feel great!

I make sure not to drink until an hour after I eat. I wait 15 minutes after eating to "gage how I feel" to make sure nothing is going to come back up.

I am reading a book about emotional eating and really getting in touch with my zone...I have too. Actually, I am force too but very willing...One of the questions in my book asked...When was the last time you loved and nutured yourself?" .......years until today.....in five short days my life has made an amazing change......stick to it. This transition isn't for fence straddlers....just do it and get your helmet and shoulder pads on....

Howdy! I am down 17 lbs, need to change my ticker. My favorite all time Soup is Chili's chicken Enchilada. My husband picked some up for me, blended until smooth and added skim milk to thin. It tasted heavenly!!!! A bowl can easily feed me for three meals.

Other favorites are Cambell's Tomato Soup and potato Soup (you have to blend the chunks in the potato)

I'm drinking lots of Water, and get in at least one to two Protein Shakes. If I don't feel I get get that many, I drink an Isopure. It has 40 grams of Protein and comes in about 4 fruit flavors at GNC.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
