on the road to surgery

Well- today i had my first visit with the nurse practitioner and then in two weeks the first visit with the dietician.....this will start the 3 month M.D. supervised diet pre surgery. Ultimately this should mean that sometime in October I can have the surgery. Im so excited and nervous at the same time. However, I have to say that reading everyone's posts/blogs is so helpful and reassuring. Here is to moving forward and wishing everyone the very best!!!

One of those days

I feel down today. Just straight up BLAH, sad, depressed....... WHY???????????????? I have no idea- i have everything to be happy about: great family and friends I tucked my shirt in on Friday for the first time in years. I have lost 19 pounds since surgery almost 6 weeks ago and 41 overall. I have shelter over my head I have a great job   Oh well, it's just one of those days....I am kind of hungry as I write this and I think that may have a little to do with the BLAH'S. My first meal of real solid food will be on Thanksgiving day. I guess that will be the test of my first fill - to see if it worked enough or not. Take care all!!!! After all, tomorrow is another day. :cool2:

Goals/baby steps

Well- I had my first nutritionist appointment on the 4th. I was so excited to just get started with the 3 month supervised diet. She briefly went over what was entailed with the surgery and the pre and post op diet and some of the rules. Then we set some goals for the next month: 1. dont' drink with meals (as right now that is a biggie for me) 2. chew, chew, chew, and wait a minute between each bite. Ok.....so the not drinking with meals is going well (and I know we will change this to not drinking before and for sometime after), but the waiting one minute between bites is pretty hard for me....Oh well, just keep on trying. (I just keep telling myself.....if i don't slow down(once i have the band)its all going to come back up). Learn it now and it will be better/easier later. I have my psych evaluation on the 16th....kind of worried about that, but I have read in other's blogs that it isn't so bad. I truly am happy to have found this site and am happy to be able to connect with others who are going through the pre surgery part and with those who have had the surgery. It is great to have all of the support and validation etc. etc.......ok....thanks for listening today. Good luck to us all!!!!! Keep up the good work one and all. :sad:

feeling better today.

Well- today is Saturday- was banded on Wed. the 14th. today i feel pretty good, just still feel like belching/causes pressure in my chest ......is this normal????? trying to drink all my protein and water etc. etc. going for 3 twenty minute walks a day.....i feel like things are going well. Just feel unsure at this point...not doubting my decision, but just unsure if I am doing it right. (does that make sense)? I have lost 4 pounds since wednesday. :wink2: I am thankful for this website so I can come get advice and support. thanks so much
