...from this site!

 

I haven't been on here in a day and half! LOL And I didn't blog yesterday, oh my! I'm trying to get things squared away for my move and I'm only just now starting to wrap my head around this. I'm moving in 5 weeks!! Aghhhh! Who wants to come help me pack? Ha!

 

Yesterday I had to go to a buffet for a birthday dinner. I flashed them my LapBand card and was only charged the children's price! Sweet!! I mean, I normally could have eaten 3 full plates, or just about, plus a big plate of dessert. But I had a total of about 1 plate. And made sure to eat mainly protein. I splurged and had some of the marshmallows on top of the sweet potatoes, though. Yum. Then I had a piece of sugar free cake for dessert. And it took me about an hour or more to eat all that! Didn't really finish it all completely, but ate only till I wasn't hungry. It was good experience for me. I'm relearning how to eat in a healthy way!

 

Though I still cannot wait till my first fill to really feel more restriction. Until then I'm trying not to worry too much about the weightloss. (Though I am still losing, it's slowing down a bit.)

 

Anyway, I felt like a needed to blog for a quick minute. Don't want anyone thinking I've disappeared! :)

 

Going to a baby shower tomorrow! Should be a fun day! Hoping they have some healthy snacks. If not, I'll bring something to be on the safe side.

 

Blessings!

Good for you!! So the buffet place knew what it was or did you have to explain??

So you are on solids now without a problem? I have a week of mushies then soft then solid.

Good luck with the packing!

OMG I/we all need a card where did you get it? I know that they wont serve you a kids meal unless there is kid present which is crazy. You can get one if you order out just not eat in!

Go to lapband.com and I think you can register for one under My Lapband Journey. It has your surgeon's name and number, type of band used, surgery date, max fill volume and has a diagram of where the band is placed. It says it is MRI compatible and has some drug warnings on it for ulcerogenic meds. At the bottom of the card it has a note to restaurants. "Please allow this person to order smaller portions, as the amount of food this person can eat has been greatly reduced."

My doctor told me that they would give me a card once the surgery is done. So you could just ask you doctor for one.

Yeah, my doc gave me a temporary card when I had my surgery. The permanent card comes in the mail.
