Hey guys,

 

 

well it has been two weeks since my surgery (Dec 7) and I have to say that even though it has only been two weeks it has been quite a journey. I have lost 38 pounds so farbiggrin.gif!!!!!!!! Its insane because I've never lost that much weight before without giving up but this time is different and I am not giving up. I have been to work so far which makes my days go faster (still on protein shakes will be starting mushies in countdown...2days!!!!) . I know that most of the weight loss is attributed to the liquid diet but the fact that I've even had the will power to stay on liquids is amazing to myself. when it comes to hunger I'll be honest that I have not been hungry and have definitely had a hard time getting in the 60 grams of protein because I just feel so full. They say drink clear liquids in-between your shakes but that feels me up. I guess I shouldn't complain...but I def need to up my protein intake because I have been getting dizzy spells when I get up so I know thats attributed to the lack of protein.

 

NOW IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING AND SKIP THE NEXT SENTENCE!

now I like to be honest and honest I will be...my only problem has been...going to the bathroom. Im used to going twice a day and I miss that satisfying feeling I feel every morning and night. It was pure discomfort and def made everything else pale in comparison.

 

Nevertheless, everything has been going wonderful. my incisions are healing and doing ok. sometimes I forget I even have the band like when I went to a party and brought the house down.

 

I will all the best to my fellow December bandsters, and to all my future bandsters trust me when I tell you and I didn't believe it before either but your day will be here before you know it.

Nice thing to remember about getting dizzy. Glad you shared that. Thank you. I will be a December bandster but not until the last day, the 31st. I get excited reading all these blogs.

Hello My Friend As they say "I think you found your sweet spot! " "CONGRADULATION" On the First go round,not being hungery on the liquid diet ,,that is wonderful...

i am still hanging in there I found some very incurraging friends on this site

(I guess all I have to do is read and understand everybody's situation is different even though

the surgery is the same,some peope are faster healers than other,some of us can tolarate the pain

better than the rest,but one can't be placed above the other but with the power beyond what is normal

we are able to do a lot of things,

with your self and lonnie200t and skinnychick,I think you guys are very special friends I am

really glad to know because with the words of incurragement that you all offer me makes me very

happy to accept and it makes my road down my journey more pleasent for me to walk it...thanks

and you continue to heal and do good because I may have to have a shoulder to lean on later....camille01
