:Bunny :Bunny Hello everyone, been alwhile since I posted. Had trouble getting back on, forgot password and couldnt get a new one. anyone this is micki. just a reminder was banded on 7/27. all went well and is going well. not too much pain only about 3 days. engergy level increasing daily. Dr Montgomery and his staff are the greatest!!!!! cant say enough about the experience, have no regrets. After I made it thru the liquids, which i didnt think possible, am now on "mushies". not having any trouble keeping anything down, wont be on regular for about 4 weeks. possible fill then too.
anyway am having some issue with eating, when to, how much, and what to do about the hunger. so i need some help. im looking for your guidance. the problem im having is that during this mushy period should i be setting specific times to eat? it seems that i get hungry ofter-my stomach actually grumbles. should i be counting calories? how balanced do i need to be? how much should i be eating? i eat until im full but sometimes it seems like alot. anyone else have this happen? should i be using the same rules as when im eating regular food? i get so confused. i havent strayed from what i should be eating its just that im sure HOW i should be eating. i think i might be sabotaging myself and i really really like whats happening to me, feeling my body changing. im being to feel im putting alot of pressure on myself. also how much should i be exercizing. what have you done. did you start out slow?
i dont mean to ramble on so but this lapband has given me a new perspective on my health and the future. i want to be successful. my outlook is sooo good. i know with your help i will accomplish this. youve all been so great with your previous support. it truelly helps to be a part of everyones experience. im proud to be a bandster!
im looking to give myself the best opportunity to move thru these next few weeks. i appreciate anyone imput.
Micki
