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!

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:

Change of Mind?

After reading the post about having regrets (wow!), I think I have a change of mind about wls. I am sitting here thinking that only one time in my life I put forth great effort to lose weight and all the other times I was just greedy and messed up. I know I have paid money for doctor visits and nutritionists, but I don't think I am ready to have surgery just to lose weight. It is hard being heavy and I am sad at times...but I don't think I can put myself through the sugery. My husband wants me to have the surgery and I have one sister who is for it and a few friends, but I'm not sure if they just agree with it because I am/was all excited about it. Now I may change my mind in the morning when I can't fit into some clothes for work, but as of this very moment my mind is changed. I don't want my stomach folded a bit and stitched in any kind of way, other than the way God made it. I am ranting for a moment...man...I will see how I feel this week. I feel bad, because there are so many that would love to have an approval from their insurance company and here I am with one and now I change my mind. I should have really thought it out before I jumped the gun and started the process. I will pray about it.

Banded A Week Later

Well it's been a week since banded and I'm better. The one thing that is bothering me is going through another week of liquids. I know it is necessary, but I'm having a hard time. At least let me get to the puree stage!! I think I just heard my stomach for the first time...oh well. Dr. Madan is impressed with my weight lose, so that's good. This morning I did get on the treadmill at a really fast pace. Other than that I'm still day dreaming of being small.   Be BLESSED!
