Day 9 post op

Man....Just when I think I have the hang of thisi Lapthingy.....I kinda screwed up. :mad:Not too bad but learned a reallllly good lesson.:thumbup: Beins I am day 9 out and REALLLLLLLLYYYYY desperate for REAL food:eek:.......welllllll......the toast my wife fixed herself for breakfast smelled sooooo good. And waitin till she went to work is bein sneaky right? I mean if she dont see it it didnt happen right?:thumbup:Do you think I was smart enuff to stop at a slice of toast? WEll noooooooooooo. Not me!!! Mr. Wise one!!!! If one slice of toast is good maybe one scrambled egg would be a nice addiditon. The crackers, potted meat, slime-fast and all that stuff just isnt enuff you know....yeah right. If one egg is good it seems to follow that 2 in the pan would be better.:thumbup: dont want one to get lonley and hell I am using a small plate. and a slice of ham too-----chopped up reallly fine you know.......kind of like an omlet. yeah reallly close to one. I was smart enuff NOT to down the whole thing.:crying: I got 4 bites---well chewed you know--into my pie hole and realized I might be headed for trouble if I kept on packin in the grub. I am sittin here starin at a plate (a small one you know:tt2:)of what has just become a reward for my faithful pooch Mattie the Wonder Dog. Note to self.....STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE KITCHEN. YOU ARE STILL WEAK WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD. YOU WILL BEHAVE OR I WIL KICK MY OWN ASSL....Wait...I am talkin to myself.:laugh:I wonder how much the poor pooch is gonna gain? Gotta be realllly careful with that too. Here come the belches......I am down 9 lbs since weds BTW. Thought one little "reward" would be just the ticket. Now I am hurtin. Serves me right. :thumbup:

Went to a funeral/memorial service

this afternoon for an old friend. The place was packed. Can you guess what the burps did for me? yes i was a bit embarassed but what the heck. so i belched--a lot and often. got a few looks and i really did try to keep the noise down but man-some of em were pretty powerful. i am tryin to figure out how to harness them and turn em into energy.LOL they gotta stop soon......:huh2:

How wierd is this?

I was just in the kitchen to do a bit of cleaning and emptying the dishwasher because my wife has been soooooo good to me the last 3 weeks-and because it is my turn lol--but anyway. I eyeballed that loaf of bread and that jar of peanutbutter pretty hard. I suddenly realized "What the hell. You arent hungry man. You want it out of habbit." After a short talk with myself I again realized that I am really ok with this and am gonna make it jsut finee. I still want a pb and j sandwich but am quite happy to make do with a glass of gatorade right now. Thanks for listening.

4th Day Post Op

Wow!! No real pain--except when Mattie the Wonder Dog-my faithful Jack Russel, decided it was wayyy past time for a wrestling match and jumped on y belly. She didnt quite understand the reaction she got when I groaned. She thought the match was on. :lol:The little bugger!!! She is enjoying not being in her kennel and sleepin with me in my recliner. She is sooooo spoiled.:tongue_smilie: Lots of gas!!! Belching like a champ. At least my wife cant yell at me for it this time. Cant wait till I can consume something besides that really good Slime Fast and bullion!!! Patience is a virtue--no one said I was a virtuious person. Hope you all have a great day!! Blessings:thumbup:

Surgery DONE and I am HOME!!

Arrived at the hurtspital at 6:00am and was on the table by 7:15. Not bad. Home by 2:00pm and its a 1 hr drive to the hurtspital!!:tongue_smilie: Not bad again!!! Frankly I am feelin great!! :tt1:I might be sorry:confused: I said that but I really think it has a LOT to do with the kind of care and advice you get BEFORE you go into this. Before the surgery I stepped on ther "official" scale and nearly peed myself:eek:---well I was nearly naked by that time so I guess it wouldnt have been so bad---any way.....I weighed 388lbs. Started all this on April 15th at 465 lbs. I gotta say I am proud as hell of myself. :w00t::w00t::sneaky:Look out world!!!The best is yet to come!!!!:w00t:

my "Last Supper" today

Well I had my last supper today. Church ahd a potluck event that just happens to coenside with my surgery date this Weds. man am i glad it did.:smile2: lots of all the good stuff none of us are supposed to eat. ok i confess to a piece of kfc--it was great!!! the rest of the stuff really just didnt appeal that much. i ate some but it just wasnt as great as i thought it would be. i think that slim fast must have killt my taste buds because that food is usually so good and tasty you cant get enuff of it in your mouth. yeah i know you all know what i am talkin about.:cursing: kind of like eatin sweet corn or pop corn. just cant get enuff of it in yer pie hole to satisfy fast enuff. yeah i ate a piece of ruhbarb pie too. last one for for a lifetime? dunno but maybe. have lost 17 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks on the slim fast torture diet for a total of 67 lbs since april 15th when i started at a whopping 467 lbs. thats a lot of fat folks!!!:thumbdown: never again!!! nope. not me!!! aint gonna happen.:cursing: i am sick of bein that fat guy. i cant wait till the doc "lassos" that stomach and i can get on with my life like i want to. not skinny but surley not that fat guy. look out world there is a new me headed your way and yer gonna love it cuz i am gonna love it. blessings to all........:cursing:

I am a new guy here so bear with me.....

I am day 8 into the liquid diet. It sucks big time.:confused: Oh well that is the way things goe it seems. i confess i just cheated---i ate 3 slices of cucumber and onions and 4 carrotts. big deal (i hope)i started this journey when i stepped on the scales and saw the numbers 460 lbs. i said to myself that i was gonna die, be crippled or loose weight. started working out at a gym and got on the Lap Band program. i am down to 399--never thought a 3 would look sooooo good. i feel so much better and heck--i am sill a jolly, happy guy. There is just less of me. the band is gonna be "installed" on the 16th. the surgery does not bother me as much as the "what if i cant hang " thoughts. i know i can do it but it is just hard to think of success given a lifelong struggle with the weight. reading these posts has given me a bit of support and i hope i can be of support to others. BTW i can spell. it is my keyboard that cant spell and does not always(usually) use that caps/shift key. sorry if anyone gets offended. havent looked at enuff posts to see if the grammar/spelling police are alive and well on this blog. if they are, we might not get along too well unless they have a good sense of humor.:thumbdown:
