4 Das And Counting

4 more days and counting before my lap band is placed. I am scared to death. What if this fails? What if there are complications? Am I strong enough to do this? Will this work? I have had some many let downs in the past with weight loss. I am excited but nervous. I love food. Let's face it. I did not get to be 350 plus pounds overnight. Why do I over eat? What is it? How can I be certain I am doing the right thing? Are these questions that I should already know the answers to before surgery. Seems like everyone is already past this point and geared up for surgery without any doubt. I am struggling. Both mentally, physically and emotionally. Is it a good time for surgery? Why ? or why not? I can do this. I am strong I want to feel better. I want to eat better. I am tired of food controlling my life. I am tired of being over weight. Bending over is nearly impossible without straining and gasping for air. I can't touch my toes. I can't cross my legs. I can't walk without getting short of breath. What is it going to take for me to change my behaviours? Will the lpap band be enough? I hate this liquid diet. This sucks. Completely.

Okay, this is hard. Not the surgery thing but the gas, not being able to eat, being off work. The whole darn thing. My family is great not eating in front of me, but I have had enough soup and protein shake, smoothies I just would like a mouth full of regular textured food or a salad. Wow am I saying that? I am feeling very selfish. I am not eating a ton, I can't. I have not over eaten. I have not tried anything I am not supposed to but this stinks.I am currently on the pureed diet. I used to drink at least 6 can of diet coke a day. Now none. I used to eat a plate full of food now I can't even eat, or I should say have a cup full of soup. I get full. Maybe I should buy a scale. I don't even feel smaller. My son said my leg looks smaller!! Too cute I know. But I don't feel smaller. I feel bloated and gassy as ever. How do you feel if you over eat? And is it possible without even anything in the band? Can you stretch the tiny pouch on top of the band if you over eat? Or does it just simply make you sick? I do not take any medicine for gas or heart burn. Should I? Because no matter what I try, protein shake, slim fast meal shake, soup, whatever I get gassy. The surgery went very well. Very easy as a matter of fact. For me to say that given my history of not so easy surgeries, this was a walk in the park. I stayed over night and home the next day. Took pain medicine for the next day and none since. I found some great web sites for some pureed ideas. But wow, some are awful. Anyone have good reciepes? I am at a loss here. Please forward me the sites. Or reciepes that you've come to make realitivly easy quick.
