Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Jennifur replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, i'm going out for a drive ladies... of course after dbf was mr wonderful and was going to come take me out this afternoon, guess what... no show... so i'm sure as track record goes... he will call in about an hour with some sort of bull shit excuse. I am just not in the mood today, can you tell, I had someone asking me out for months, knew was not mr wright but still, didn't go because I am so foolishly in love and didn't want to hurt anyone or "risk" having feelings for someone else... memory loss or no memory loss... Just once I want to be as important as his family and everyone else who he jumps for. Am I that horrible and disgusting that I don't deserve to be treated like someone special. Man... wonder why I have confidence issues -

Terry I am sorry to hear that, I found one I almost like, but I make them, no store bought. and I add a tsp of instant pudding mix to it for flavor. works for me... just a suggestion -

Terry It took me 4 weeks post op to beable to chug water, I can take larger sips every day just no chugging. I just had a protein shake, about 350 cals and I'm full - I am very restricted. I knew it wouldn't take much - I seem to be holding strong and was fine until working out became an every day thing -

I was not chewing the last couple of weeks, most things went down so easy, but then would get the golfball feeling because I ate too fast. My fill definately worked! I am afraid to try food, but since i made a batch of soup, i'll finish that and my protein shakes then try to add stuff. I cannot chug water again so that is good. I just got back from the gym. dbf was there with me, FINALLY... he told me how great I was looking, it is about freaking time! Our daughter was there with us today and they played basketball together without me and have made a plan to play raquetball - just the 2 of them, which is really nice, they have not bonded in a few years. At least something made me happy today. Well, I'm off to shower and clean my room, it is a mess up there since I get changed 4-5 times before I'm happy with what i have on or find something that fits... can you imagine where it all goes? LOL -

TracyKS - thank you , and I hope he realizes before it is too late. LOL As for the pizza thing, I work in a shop and every night they make a pie for slices, i drive this one guy crazy because I only eat the cheese. Well before the fill, I tried to take a small bit of crust... OMG I thought I was going to die. That was all I needed, will Never do that again. TracyK-I got my fill tuesday and I'm still on mushie food, I don't know if i could do anything else at this point. I am having more, had a little over a cup of protein shake for lunch and didn't want diner (1+cup black bean soup) for 6 hrs. So if you are too restricted, so am I LOL but... not changing it, I'm back down to 225 and holding strong this am for the first time in weeks. Judy- my 16's are definately not a pretty site but I can get them on, which is enough to keep me going. I bought all of them when I was down to 210 before my cute son. But to wear those I was at the gym every single day for 6 months, so in 5 months hopefully I'll be looking hot again in the 16's... ok smaller, but I'll have my skirts taken in. I love them to death My Y that I go to has water aerobics classes 3 days a week, I am not going to make it today just getting up and class starts in 30mins, but we are going to do our weight training, I don't have a time for that. Denise - I just realized that i was wearing a 20 until recently, those green capri's that were in the first pic I posted were a 20. they fall down as I walk, but were a 20. so when it happens it happens I guess. I've been hovering at 227-232 for weeks, I'm convinced your body needs to catch up with your loss. I hope everyoen is having a great morning -

Judy, I don't know if you even realize how much I look up to you. You motivate me every single day to get to the gym and exercise and follow the rules. You are amazing! Thank you -

Kat - she will be ok, they just sent her home too soon, they will take care of her... that virus went around here and it was horrible. My prayers are with you. TracyK. That is what I was trying to do earlier... hard to see the progress when the before was not with it.... My daughter was humoring me and when i put the sweatshirt on was when she was totally blown away -

Terry sorry - I am suppose to go to an employment agency and can't go until I have all my ducks in a row. My pizza shop gig is family and I didn't need to provide anything for her. LOL I start there full time next week - while I look for the perfect job. I am still looking but at least have something for now! -

Judy- I got some prunes the other day at the store, I can stomach the taste, they are cherry flavored and not too bad. I learned to like them on LA Weightloss, but I have serious texture issues, don't know if i could get down prune juice. My mom also suggested flax seed oil daily, so she is going to get me some and I'll add it to my salads instead of olive oil. I am afraid of laxitives, my aunt became addicted to them and I've been running her to the dr/hospital for months now from all the damage she did - OMG - I'm watching the today show and the are doing a bit on GLAMPING. glamor camping. $7000 a night for a family of 5. But, it is my idea of camping. Woods, no one around, tent with real bed, furniture, hot tubs, tours... LOL -

Jane thanks for the tip on that. I might try it. Fibersure is just not doing the trick. I have been on liquids for 2 days and NOTHING. I literally feel like crap. LOL Of course I can't find a valid drivers license, I have an expired one... but that is not going to help me today. What is my problem? These people are going to think I'm out of control. I have a job, so I don't feel so pressured. This has been a hard week for me - what can I say, but I think today I'm going to get things under control. Hope everyone had a great 4th. -

Judy - yes it is a great feeling now for them to look great! LOL wow - you amaze me with the exercise. My neighbor keeps his hot tub all year, we went in Friday Night, he called because he knows I'm up at midnight and we just laughed for hours, I don't know why all my best friends are men... but no issues like with girls... anyway. off to watch a movie "because I said so" ... so I'm sure I'll be balling my eyes out again -

Hello everyone... raining here all day in NY ... oh well. obviously I'm not having a great day anyway. the saga just continues with the x friend who has my daughters sparklers and stuff I bought on vacation, but I refuse to go get them and get yelled at... so I told my daughter if she wanted to use then and not return them that I would get her some later. But on a happy note, I found my camera, I am going to adjust the size and try to do this tonight or tomorrow - i've been moving dirt and look very yucky on a very happy note - I went to clean my room and I decided I wanted to see how the levi's were coming along, since in April I was thrilled I got them over my hips but could not even think about zipping them up. Well guess what I'm wearing right now... yup you guessed it... the motivation I needed... I don't quite know how but I am. My belly still is very puffy looking but they are not too tight, I would wear them out. Back to the gym I go... LOL So as far as liquids, I had a protein shake for breakfast, a cup of broth for lunch and a protein shake for dinner. with all the liquids... still no major bathroom visits. I don't know what to do... I'm going to eat some black bean soup just because I need to go... I actually gained 3lbs on liquids... so I think if i can go to the bathroom all will be good. LOL anyway, just needed to check in while i was down here -

Lunasa - sorry I killed the spelling I was slightly insane the last 24 hrs still having a bad day, normally I drink on the 4th, and I am trying so very hard not to, so I redirected my energy, I moved dirt and purned my very overgrown tree out front.... now it is raining... what to do to keep my mind pre occupied -

I am on liquids today and can technically start mushies tonight, but i am having a hard time with liquids, the only good thing, not clear liquids like after surgery so i'm having a watered down protein shake right now. Just moved 4 barrows of dirt, man that is hard on the back. The huge pile will be gone by the end of the day Lunessa, vits help, plus you know we are all here for you -

i agree, have you thought about taking vit B 6 & 12, they are natural mood boosters, and i know bypass patients here are required to take them because they do not get enough. Just a thought... I also know st. johns wort is a natural mood booster too
