Busy busy--

I've been SO busy, that I haven't even been able to get on here. Looking for a new place to live while not in the city you're moving to is very difficult! And stressful!

 

And I'm only about 2 1/2 weeks post op and have stopped losing weight for now. I have heard that this happens, so I'm trying not to worry about it too much. But I keep going back and forth with one pound. Annoying. So I'm being very careful to watch what I'm eating and make good choices. Yesterday was not so good--I had some food from the Chinese take-away in the mall. It was SO tasty, but I'm sure not so healthy. At least I only ate the meat and tofu! (Odd combo, I know! Normally I would only get stuck eating tofu at my vegetarian friend's house!)

 

I'm trying to keep track of what I eat on dailyplate.com, but I have forgotten to track a couple days so far. I need to make that a priority in the evenings, I suppose. Anyway, that site is really not for Bandsters. I'm following my doctor/dietician's guidelines more than that site, but it is interesting to see how things work.

 

If I don't have as many calories as suggested, will I not lose weight? One would think if you had less than suggested you would lose even more. But maybe that's backwards thinking. Maybe your body needs the fuel from the calories to be able to burn more fat. Oh, I just don't know! I might have to ask my dietician about this.

 

Anyway, that's my update for the day: packing, plateauing, and a little panicking about finding a place to move to! It's a day full of P's for me.

 

Still not regretting this, just waiting for my first fill in about 2 1/2 weeks! Hopefully that helps a bit with the weightloss!

 

Blessings! xo

I understand that you are busy, moving to a new city can be very challenging. I have a question and if you have time to answer that would be great if not totally understand. I am having my band on July 23, 2010. I have a very good friend coming to visit August 3. She is concerned that I will not be able to do anything or eat anything. I told her the risk factors and I am already active and I know everyone is different but usually 4 days or so is the down time. You seem to be doing very well, is this typical? I just had a baby 4 month ago via c section and that was pretty rough but I was up the next day and I can't imagine this procedure being any where near major abdominal surgery? Am I way off here???

Maggs, so glad to hear from you, I did figure you were majorily busy moving and your job. Yes, before your fill weight loss is non existent. (check out June Bugs in the next day or two, we miss you)

To bad you can't get House Hunters from HGTV to help you find a place!

When is your award ceremony?

I am now 2 weeks post op and found that I am stuck as well! I go 2 pounds up and down and I am hardly eating!! Its frustrating because if I eat 2 or 3 cookies (which I won't) the scale will automatically for up 5! LOL! Can't wait for first fill, do you know when yours is yet? Are your incisions ITCHY??
