Starting Pre-Opt Diet Today!

Hello Everyone,   Today I will start the pre-opt diet! So I am on my way to the Vitamin Shoppe, I will get the zero carb Isopure (chocolate), multivitamin and a shaker. I will get my chicken broth, boullion, sugarfree popsicles and jello today too. I can't believe I am this excited consider my feeling before. I feel good about what is getting ready to happen to me. My pre-opt appointment is on 1/5...then I will meet Dr. Madan. I met Dr. Tyshanksi(?) twice he was nice also, but Dr. Madan will do the procedure. Well until next time...I'm on my way to the store.   Be Blessed, :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Sheila

No Dinner, Exercise or Class!

Well yesterday for lunch I had a grill chicken philly and I only ate the thin sliced chicken with the melted cheese and a little lettuce and I was done for the day! I was miserable...I had trapped gas or something. Even though the chicken was thin I still chewed and chewed. I didn't eat any dinner and to think about it I didn't have any breakfast. So I didn't feel like working out or going to my boring class. I went to church and I actually felt a little better. I took to Mylanta gas tablets and those things will get the gas out!! I don't like them that much, because the make me gag. Once I gag I burp...but afterwards I feel a LOT better. So this morning I am feeling normal, I will not have a grill chicken philly again. Today I will make sure I take it easy on the food, I will eat soft foods today. Be blessed!

Day 2 Post Opt

Today is okay, I'm trying to get the shakes down. I mixed the 3oz. protein shot w/ 3oz. of skim milk,Splenda and two ice cubes together in the blender. I could only get about 60cc down. I will keep trying...next time I won't use the blender. I think the blender makes it too thick. Other than that I am good. I'm not in any pain what so ever. I am ready for the puree stage, oh yeah and the mushies!!   Be BLESSED!

March Goal!

I'm setting a goal to lose 15lbs this month!! I need to increase my cardio and also my EATING. I know I eat about 500 or less calories a day and that is not healthy. Yesterday I had a half of sausage w/ not even a half of "biscuit" and gravy for breakfast, no lunch and no dinner. I don't get hungry anymore. It has been seven weeks since surgery and I still have a lot of restriction.   Clothes update: I'm in a pair of pants I have worn in over two years!!!! :clap2: :clap2: I knew I wasn't suppose to throw them away!!!! Anyway, I'm excited about the things to come!!!! I'm expecting everything I touch to prosper!!   Be Blessed   Coming soon... Diva Style Cosmetic Consultants, Inc.

Post Opt Day 12

Wow everyday I am losing weight! I've lost a total of 16.1 pounds...I'm loving this. I know it has a lot to do with the liquids, but as long as I am working out hard the pounds will continue to fall off. Cool beans!! I'm ready to fit in my old clothes to really see the change, but I will have to wait to lose about another 15 pounds. Anyway....all is GREAT!!   Be BLESSED

Finally At Home

I am home finally, everything went very good...no gas pains or shoulder pains. I'm a little tender at my incision sites and that's it. I'm glad to be home! My doctors were great! I haven't weighed myself yet, so I'm hoping have lost at least two pounds. Well I am going to lay down and rest.   Be BLESSED!

Diet Pills

I will be starting Adipex again on tomorrow just to jump start my weight loss. My claim is still pending with UHC, so in the mean time I've started cutting back on my calories and carbs. Adipex do make me sick if I do not eat right when taking them, so I will make sure I eat enough of the right foods. Other than that I am just waiting to get approved.   Sheila Be BLESSED!

Doctor visit at UT Medical

Hello everyone,   I went to my other appointment at Dr. Madan's office (UT Medical) on yesterday and everything went great! They are very imformative and easy to talk too. I submitted all my paper work on yesterday to the coordinator and she will submit them to UHC on Monday. She said she loves UHC because they are so easy to approve WLS, at least within seven to fourteen days. However, I couldn't sleep last night from waking up thinking about the lap band and when I was sleeping I was dreaming about my weight! So frustrating:phanvan !! I guess I'm still debating (for what I don't know) as I have stated before I'm excited at one point, but then I'm scare the next. I look at Telly's before and after pictures and think WOW!!! I could look like that and then I get ALL excited and motivated, then once the adrenaline is gone I'm like do I really need to do this?? I think do I really need to go to such an extreme solution to lose weight? I just need to get back on my diet and WORK OUT! Then I think about all the failed attempts I have tried to lose weight. So I don't know...     Type ya later Sheila Be BLESSED!

OOH Boy I Got A Little GAS!!!

Between the 6oz shake I had today and the water, one of them gave me a little gas! I was in tears!!! So I went straight for the Gas-X...it's workin a little. Man! I was upset at myself for having the band put in! A friend of mine had it done and reassured me that it will get better. I've walked twice today for a total of 20 minutes to ease the pain and it helps. So tomorrow I won't use skim milk, just to try and pin point the cause. Other than that I am fine, no pain at any of my incision sites. Thank you JESUS!!   Be Blessed

Day 11 on Liquids (well sort of)

Ok today on lunch I was really craving something filling, so I went to Taco Bell and got ONE order of pintos and cheese (very small container) and it did the trick. I guess you can say that counts as a mushy?? But that was all I had for lunch, but when I got home I had a little hummus and that was it! I won't have a protein shake tonight, I'm trying to figure out if I am drinking them to late and that's causing the scale to be mean :cursing:to me the next day!! So I will see in the morning, if so I will start drinking them in the morning instead. Until next time Keep the FAITH!:cool:

It's Been a Minute Since I've Checked In...

Well hellooo!!! Well I've decided to check in since it has been a while. Well I'm about to wrap up the fall semester at school(THANK YOU JESUS!!) Now I can focus on my exercise. I do have somewhat of a trainer...I've been stuck at 183 for three months. I am vowing to be at my goal by January 11th. I go for my third fill on 12/19 (WOOHOO!). I can basically eat anything!! But I during the week I don't eat any solid food, and I have my protein shake (sugarfree choc syrup, sugarfree Blue Bell Great Divide, peanut butter, ice, and choc protein powder). It's my wanna be Reese's Peanut Butter cup shake. I do need to get more water in, I try to work out during the week, but it has been hard with work and school full time. Well I fell out because my sugar level was extremely low and I have been "trying" to eat more, but during the week I refuse too. I know that it is not healthy, but I will not gain back the weight I lost!!! NOT AT ALL!! Anyway I am suppose to be studying for a final exam in the morning. but this site helps me get motivated. I hope everyone is doing awesome!! Hi Sunshine2!!
