Today i am 2 weeks post op.... im feeling good.... lost alot of weight/ fluid.... before my liver shrinking diet i was 314. After LSD 299.... and now i am 273:smile2:. I know the weight drops off fast at first but im just scared of failure. Im really trying not to think negative but all the temptations around me is gonna make this journey so HARD! Especially, when i am the only OBESE person in my immediate family. But imma be strong and hold on cause i didnt come this far to give up.

 

Now since all the swelling is mostly gone, i feel that my band is lose. I dont know if im saying that correctly, but i feel hungry within 2 hours after i have eaten. I drink water all the time trying to fill up. But shortly after the hunger comes back. They tell u not to snack.... but what about fresh fruit or veggies? I go to the doctor again next week and i would love it if they would tighten this band up a lil. But i know its too early. :scared2::sleep:

Your band isn't loose, your esophagus is just healing so the swelling is residing. As you heal you will be able to eat more. Weeks 1 -2 are loss weeks. The rest of the weeks till fill the doctors are happy if you are able to maintain. I am 3 days away from my first fill and I could probably eat like I did presurgery if I let myself, though untoasted bread still hurts me. I do try to stick to the good proteins and eat more often if necessary. I've lost 25 the first 4 weeks and last week and this one if I maintain, Im happy. Don't carb load, snack on a string cheese or lean lunch meat if you need to.

Not to say that I've been perfect. THis week I had 5 potato chips with my tuna the other night. It happens. As a pmsing woman I suspect 4 peanut m&m's will work there way into my life today. Good thing my coworker is a deprived sweets junkie and will finish off the bag for me.

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
