Today is day 24 ive been eating soft foods for about a week now and im only feeling limited restriction, i dont think the band is really working as far as restricitng my food intake. Im still not taking my vitamin regularly either, i know thats not good. But i did discover this protein shake by muscle milk, its chocolate milk flavored and i mix it into milk and its AMAZING and with 2 scoops i get 50g of protein !!! I do need to increase my fluids still though im kinda having a rough time with that. Something weird though im having quick blood sugar fluxs'. like before i eat i feel really weak and dizzy and sometimes after i eat i get similar feelings like dizzyness . . . im gonna talk to my docotor about that one when i go see him on the 15th to get my first fill. Im concerned about my fill too bc i dont know what its goign to be like in France, all i hear about is how good their food is . . . well i guess ill just get a taste of it litterly. My cat is driving me crazy too. HE'S NUTS !!! i mean litterly he's crazy. :help: but that has nothing to do with my band. OH NEW NEWS. i like this guy named Jonathan which really isnt a big suprise bc ive liked him for a while now but i feel like just reacently we've become closer and i hate that school ends in like 2 seconds. but i think it will be good for me, to see how interested he is in me, ya know how much effort is he willing to put in it long distance . . . but im glad that he's shown interest i me before i started losing a lot of weight, that means he likes me for who i am and not just what i look like. I feel like thats going to be a problem for me once ive lost weight is when guys hit on me im gonna feel like they only have alterior motives and that they dont really like me for who i am . . i guess ill just have to cross that bridge when i get there . . . well im off to run the lake on this Saturday morning !:clap2:
