@ hdavis72- I am in the same place as you. I seem to have fallen a little these past couple of days and making valentines cookies for the kids did not help, but wouldn't have missed it...tradition! Anyways I am going to go back on a liquid diet so I can get back to where I was. I have been doing so well it is amazing what a slip up can do. Going to try and reboot my mind for lapband success. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS! I hope I can say the same next year!

Had Pre-Op Physical Today
journey4me replied to Mayme78's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck! This is the best decision I have made for myself! Feels so good to be doing something for me! I was banded in January and love my new life! All your emotions are normal. You are going to do great! -
I was banded the middle of January and this has been a little overwhelming for me to figure out how to eat. I am doing a little better now but it definitely takes a conscious effort while eating! I try not to eat when I am in a hurry and chew chew chew so I can let the brain get the message that I am full. It is almost as if you have to think "o.k. am I full yet?" If I can do that now I think it will get easier. I was supposed to have a fill tomorrow, but the Dr had to cancel. I was looking forward to my first fill becasue I have done well without one so far, but my willpower is wearing thin. So the next appointment is in 2 weeks. It is going to take constant thought when eating not to hurry, weight food and staick with the plan! I might try rebooting myself, with a liquid diet for 2 days. It will get better. It's just a whole new game. This is America and we learn to eat in quantity. I read a book" why French women don't get fat" What it said is that they eat to taste not to get full and it is actually true. I would much rather have good food and savor the taste.

Good job! -
Best decision I had made for myself! Best wishes!

a little over my daily limit, but will get back on track tomorrow. I am finding weekends to be much harder to resist temptations, I like to keep it under 1000 cal though!

journey4me replied to Suznty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am newly banded and have lost 22 pounds since January first. I know my reason for doing this is for my health first. I am doing ti for me, but looking at it in a different light I am also doing it for My kids. I am taking care of thema nd I need to be here to do that. I have put a picture of the three of them on in the front dash of my car. I did that so I can remember although I need this for me I also want it for them. I would like to meet my Grandchildren someday! good luck! -
I know what you mean I had that happen too! Seems like I lost weight in my feet first! whodah thought!

Question You Wished You Had Asked Your Surgeon
journey4me replied to lou2247's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

Are You Sure You Don't Want Anything To Drink?
journey4me commented on mags2u's blog entry in Is that a Fat Joke?
I I have also saved a lot of money not going out to eat. Sometimes after work I would stop and get something to eat and sit before I went home. Kind of my wind down time. I also used to go out to breakfast with a friend a couple times a week. I think going to breakfast with her makes her feel awkward because I don't eat like I used to. My friend and I used to walk into a regular dining spot and the waitress would have our diet pepsi's ready before we even got to the table. I will just order a glass of water and let it sit there. I can't believe how much money i have saved not getting my 32oz. diet pepsi in the morning at $1.75 everyday( over $50)... heck I can buy myself something nice with that money instead, although it usually ends up with the kids! Gave it up cold turkey! -
I would say the portion control overall is the goal of having the lap band . I would suggest you cut portions so that the weight loss can be achieved. I know I try to eat smaller amounts just on my own because I want to get to my goal weight as soon as I can. Good luck!

Super Bowl and did very well I must say! Getting a little frustrated with the weight loss though. Lost at first 15 lbs. first 2 weeks and now that I am eating mushies I'm stuck on the scale!
