JOB POSTING....Hand Slapper....must slap hand everytime Kristi gets that "eat it" look!! Drat, maybe one day I will get this....hop on, life with band can be bumpy!!! Yet, I wouldnt change it!!

Simply Amazing!! Be so proud!!

You do!! Its great that you are seeing these issues and doing things about it. The last supper is sad but its so worth it!! You have started around the track if you just force yourself one foot in front of the other pretty soon the marathon will be done!! You will 102 and still feeling great, with a bunch of little feet everywhere!! Good for you!

You know that feeling that feeling of sitting down with a bag of oreos and a big glass of milk or big fat peice of chocolate lava cake, you know the ones that have chocolatly goodness in the center that just oozes out as you put your fork into it!!! Ummmm, well I got that feeling today without even going near those tasty treats!! Hot, hot day out!! Just me and my babies, well not so much anymore 3 and 6, but anyway back to the point! The milk, a whale that shot out freezing cold hose water, filled with peices of grassand dirt in the bottom (actually now that I think about it the water was pretty gross). The cream filling was water balloons that we ever so gently CHUCKED at daddy, and that chocolatly goodness oh yeah, that oozy fudgy yummyness = my childrens laughter. After I finished "gently tossing" water balloons at dad I sat back, big old glass of ice cold crystal light and watched my babies running around in and out of the sprinkler. My daughter picking up worms in wonderment and my son, oh the delicate flower he is - say "ohh sooo cold". That full feeling that wonderful "I couldnt eat one more bit, but in a good way" that over came me. I am finding my chocolate heaven. Every once in a while I can feel that feeling overcome me. The one food used to fufill. What a process, but today I got a glimpse of life without cake in the center and it was tasty!!!

I am a little afriad that this maybe the case...eek!!

I understand your thought process, you can eat both just eat slow and take a small plate and fill it a quarter full of food instead of a big plate full. It will come...

Hey eveyrone! I am 7 months out of surgery and I am still "tailoring" my thinking process. To bite or not to bite, that is ALWAYS the question. I think before I got this last fill I was more thinking enabled if that makes any sense. I was full and my thinking felt full. It was easy to walk away from that peice of cake. But now that I spit up everything I pretty much put in my mouth I eat an oreo or 3, 3 sounds more right!! Those stay down, heaven forbid I try to eat a salad or steak. Before this last fill I was able to eat and enjoyed pretty much all food, with the exception of pork. Oh no, me and the piggys dont get along so much anymore. The one thing I dont like is my thinking is still in the past. Wondering what I will eat for the next meal, gatherings that revolve around food, all this. Its annoying really. I want my head to change and I keep having to remind myself. You would think after 7 months I would have thrown that monkey off my back. I am ready!! I am ready to change my thought process, to change my body, to be the person I used to be the person I so despreatly want to be! I am ready to stop taking bites out of everything and start taking a big bite out of life!!

Mornings are difficult and many times I drink a cup of coffee and thats it...if I do eat it is maybe 5 bites of eggs or a peice of bacon or a very small bowl of Cereal....lunch i have a bowl of something a reg cereal bowl. Today it was rigatoni with mushrooms and steak peices, yesterday a blt sandwhich.. dinner it is all over the board but usually in an hours time frame i can eat a plate of food....but most of the time things come right back up, like dinner last night i dont think i kept anything down except the 3 oreos i ate hours after dinner. I tried salad, nope..nothing stayed down. It is weird thought I dont know if everyone has this issue....wow we are going to talk gross for a moment! but anyway it is not a "vomit" really it is more like spitting up what just went down. i eat it and i just wait a second and my body creates enough salia that is just half the time feels like it is the salvia that makes me spit up not vomit...i dont know it feels weird.

Ok, so I am 7 months past surgery and only 28-30 pounds down!! I mean I know the band is not bypass so I am not expecting super dropping of numbers but I have had 2 months solid with no dropping at all. I am pretty realistic. My eating could be a bit better but at most I have a few oreos a week. I've had fast few a handfull of times since my surgery and if you look at my eating habits prior to surgery and now WOW, what a differance. What is really frusterating is I have just completed my first 5K, that is 3 miles, so fo the past 3 weeks I have been doing the 3 miles everyday with the exception of 2 days a week (3 one week). This is rediculous. If you look at my lifestyle before I am so drastically differant. PLUS, I didnt get a fill this month the last time I got one was 6 month and I am up to 7 1/2 cc's. I vomit pretty much every time I eat, not all but ALOT. So you think at the very least I should be dropping from that. I made a appt to see my doc but I am pretty upset with this whole thing. Agian I am not expecting to wake up tomorrow skinny but I feel like so much effort is put into this for very little. Anyone out there have the same effect??? or troubles???
