Well I am really bumbed. I was not going to share my problem I am having but decided I am bumbed enough about it I would go ahead. About a week and a half ago I started taking calcium because I was told to. Well, now I can't go to the bathroom, you know..... poop!!!!! And today I weighed in with a 1.2 lb weight gain. :frown: I am so depressed. It was my goal to never have a gainl. But they assured me that if I take the benifiber I will start going again. What a hassle. Well okay I was told in group today that for every negative I say about self I have to say a positive so, this week I am able to drop one of my blood pressure meds and my blood sugar is staying around 100-115. So there we go. Oh and I had a pair of shorts on for the first time in 2 years today. yeeha!!! Man are my legs white. I'll have to work on that.
It seems that my surgery pretty much is controling my life. That is okay though. It is good to have something to be excited about and to have a goal set for myself. I had my surgery on July 13th. So I am just 2 1/2 weeks post banding. I do not get my first fill until 8/13. I can't wait. I want to feel the restriction. I think I need that extra push. I am hungrier now than I was the 3 weeks prior to surgery when I was on the liquid diet. It is a bigger battle than I thought. It never entered my mind that I would not feel full on this little diet I am on now. I just did not think about the waiting period for the 1st fill. I do anticipate great rewards in the long run though.
