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.
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.
