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!!

Day Five on Liquids

Day FIVE on liquids and I received my 5th fill today. But I had to schedule an appointment to have my band checked. For some reason I have less saline than I should. She think there could be a kink or something. I pray everything is okay...but she gave me 1cc until August 10th. Until next time Keep the Faith!

3rd Day Post-Opt

Well after a loonng night dealing w/ the gas pain I feel a little better. This go round I decided not to add skim milk to my protein shot, just a few cubes of ice. I'm feeling okay, for some reason I'm trying to face the fact that I have the band inside. I must admit, I have said why did I do this...but I know why. Maybe I will feel better once the liquid phase of it over, until then I will try and get it together. My sister and brother-n-law was trying to tell me it will be hard the first few weeks of getting use to this new lifestyle, but that isn't sinking in. Oh well...what's done is done. As for right now, I'm not too happy with my decision.

Post Opt Day 9

Well I seem to have this protein drinking down. It seems like I can drink about a cup with some restriction. I also have about a half of cup of some kind of soup/broth. I eat a few popsicles now, before it was a lot. I'm not having that much of an appetite...if protein wasn't important I doubt if I would drink anything. I'm just not in the mood for anything except what I can't have. Anyway, I will start the puree stage on the 25th! Woohoo!! Be BLESSED!

Going Forward

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I am going forward with the process. I've met with the psychologist, nutrionist and the the nurse at Dr. Woodman's office. One thing that did not sit well with me is the 500.00 fee that Dr. Woodman charges ALL patients:mad: . The nurse said it is for the support groups and other activities, I ask what if I don't want to participate in such activities and she said I would have to pay it anyway. So I may call around to find another doctor once I get approval, hopefully they won't charge that much if anything. I also went ahead and met with my primary care physician and he told me that he would submit the Lap Band reccommendation letter to Dr. Woodman's office (good!). So now I am just waiting for everything to be approved. I hope everyone is going GREAT and I will talk to you later. Be BLESSED!:nervous
