Starting the holiday detox early, anyone wanna join me?
Brandy~ replied to Boo Boo Kitty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon actually told me a story about one of his male patients that refused to weigh in with clothes on. They finally had to move the scales into the patient room when he comes to weigh LOFL -
Wow weight is dropping off

Thats what it sounds like. Might be sugar levels going up and down. Your bodies on a rollercoaster right now and is trying to heal so it takes alot out of it. I am sure it's fine but you might want to just put a call into your nurse/doc to check. -
My BIL uses the pot everyday to clear his sinuses... He had horrible sinus headaches so the doc recommended it... He swears by it now.

I have never heard of it or had it so I had to look it up! Omg that sounds good. Here is the recipe hehe http://www.recipelink.com/msgid/1410554

Bea- Great to see you! Those ritas are sure a killer I love them but I have to stay clear of them or I look like a blow fish it's horrible... That and Bloody Marys. You should go to your surgeons event you have done so wonderful and I think it would help to be around other bandsters and like you said be outta the house! Thankfully I don't have a party tomorrow night and will be at home so I can continue to try and stay on track. I am such a wussy when it comes to sleep that I am usually out at Midnight anyway haha. Great to see everyone on and being so supportive. I think were missing Mom and dsk :party:
-
HAHA you crack me up. Sounds like a reasonable dinner and amount.
-
Hmm nope don't have facebook. That's great she is doing so well. That's exciting that she is able to get this corrected before spending a lifetime overweight. She will be so thankful now and later in life when she is healthy :party: wtg mom.

Uggh wine is packed with carbs though :party: Todays a new day though right? LOL I am going to stick to my liquids and I am NOT going to have wine again tonight... I will be good.

I think there is alot more hope with tightening up the legs and such than there is the stomach. I am screwed when it comes to the stomach lol
-
Congrats! That's awesome I am on day 2 of the liquids currently.
-
Btw how is your daughter? does she have a blog too? I checked your blog but no update on her hehe

I stopped and bought a 1/2 gallon omw to work today and put it in the fridge here. I have already had 2 glasses... at this rate I really wont need to put protein in it lol. 1 cup of the fat free is only 80 calories thats nothing! YAY me!! Oh I fell hard outta the wagon last night tho haha. I had wine It's clear though so I assumed it would be ok jk Oh well won't kick myself I just keep going :party:

Hey Carol it's great to see you on :party: The 5 day pouch test is just a back to basics eating for people that had WLS. It cleans your system of the nasty carbs, gets your fluid levels back up, gets you back to eating high protein. I just find it easier to do since it's a short amount of time to retrain yourself and it gives a step by step explanation. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/plan/theplan.html Hey Leslie... I took was like a freaking fountain and it got me up twice last night to go too. I thought I was about to drown.. I have some weird craving for a gallon of milk atm... don't ask why cause I dunno. Atleast it's not a twinkie or something haha. I don't have a bodybugg although I have tossed around the idea a time or two... I just wouldn't want to have to explain what it was 9 million times to coworkers and it seems a little hard to hide. For Xmas my DH got me a pedometer (It was on my list) so I got it all set up last night and todays my first day wearing it.. Kinda excited to see what it says. I am not going to do anything extra today just so I can see what I do in a normal day. Then tomorrow and each day after that I will try to out do it hehe. I am competetive.

I do not have psoriasis. However, I have another rare skind disorder Hidradenitis suppurativa. I have noticed a huge difference in the health of my skin and the break outs. While I almost always have a sore I don't have it anything like I did 70lbs ago. I think there is hope. You may not notice it instantly as it takes months to catch up to your weight loss.

Not being able to take a deep breath would be a reason to call the doctor. Maybe some of the anestesia is still trapped. -

Well now you see why I joined this thread hahaha! :tongue2: -
I didn't drink soda before banding... Well if I did it was like 1 a month. I recently had a small soda and it went down ok as long as I sipped. I have tight restriction and was ok. I am sure it's different for everyone though.

Hmm Martini classifies as a liquid right!? Oh that'd be yummy :tongue2: -
Why do I keep eating??

The pouch test is a great way to get back on track. It takes a little bit of willpower the first 2 days but after that you should be fine :tongue2: There is a detox thread going right now that is for people to band together and do the pouch test and support one another. -
haha just PM me your addy there in the peach state and I will ship em out tomorrow. My xmas gift to ya. If I remember right were about the same height too.. 5'3" or 4 depends on who's measuring lol.

well I figured I would ask my fellow avengers before I donated them... I have some jeans.. some new some older that are mostly size 16. Anyone have a need? Still have some 2x shirts to throw in with it. These are all casual clothes as I don't have to dress up for my office job! (hooray for me lol) Let me know.
-
I read your blog today Colorado :tongue2: It's neat. I love to read them... Kinda gives you a little more insight about them.. When I write my blogs I am just rambling.. The best part is I just assume no one will ever really read them so I say whatever I want.

Any bite in the morning for me is bigger than my stomach can handle :tongue2: I start in the morning with something hot around 6 am, then a small glass of milk at 7, then regular food at 8.

Congrats on the loss. For those that are not losing that fast do not despair... it's all different for everyone. Some barely lose anything at the start but are steady losers. I lost a ton super fast and now I lose only about 5 a month. I am totally fine with that as long as it is still coming off :tongue2:
