I was just in the kitchen to do a bit of cleaning and emptying the dishwasher because my wife has been soooooo good to me the last 3 weeks-and because it is my turn lol--but anyway. I eyeballed that loaf of bread and that jar of peanutbutter pretty hard. I suddenly realized "What the hell. You arent hungry man. You want it out of habbit." After a short talk with myself I again realized that I am really ok with this and am gonna make it jsut finee. I still want a pb and j sandwich but am quite happy to make do with a glass of gatorade right now. Thanks for listening.

Wow!! No real pain--except when Mattie the Wonder Dog-my faithful Jack Russel, decided it was wayyy past time for a wrestling match and jumped on y belly. She didnt quite understand the reaction she got when I groaned. She thought the match was on. :lol:The little bugger!!! She is enjoying not being in her kennel and sleepin with me in my recliner. She is sooooo spoiled.:tongue_smilie: Lots of gas!!! Belching like a champ. At least my wife cant yell at me for it this time. Cant wait till I can consume something besides that really good Slime Fast and bullion!!! Patience is a virtue--no one said I was a virtuious person. Hope you all have a great day!! Blessings:thumbup:

Kind of funny how that belly dont get in the way any more isnt it?I can relate to the shower thing too. Keep up the good fight!!!!Playing with my dog is a lot easier now too. I guess I do love my dog. Jack Russels rule!!!

The way the doc explained it to me is thaty want your liver shrunk as much as they can get it. I dont understand exaactly why it works but I guess it does. I can tell you I was banded yesterday and I followed the pre-op diet to the letter and I have had NO problems at all--so far-and I intend to keep following the docs orders. Along with my wifes orders too. If you are still hungry I was ok'd to ass Carnation Inst breakfast/non sugar to the slimfast. It worked well for me. The shrimp thing might be so you get used to not eating it. Ask the doc.

Nice legs!!!LOL Keep up the good fight . It is worth it in the end.

I did discover that the "stuff" that the nice ansetesia lady gave me is great!! I asked for a 6pk to go but she wasnt up for that idea. Still feelin good. A bit sore but nothing too bad. Walking a bit and resting. Feels like the aftermath of a good fight and gettin punched in the gut a few times.

Arrived at the hurtspital at 6:00am and was on the table by 7:15. Not bad. Home by 2:00pm and its a 1 hr drive to the hurtspital!!:tongue_smilie: Not bad again!!! Frankly I am feelin great!! :tt1:I might be sorry:confused: I said that but I really think it has a LOT to do with the kind of care and advice you get BEFORE you go into this. Before the surgery I stepped on ther "official" scale and nearly peed myself:eek:---well I was nearly naked by that time so I guess it wouldnt have been so bad---any way.....I weighed 388lbs. Started all this on April 15th at 465 lbs. I gotta say I am proud as hell of myself. :w00t::w00t::sneaky:Look out world!!!The best is yet to come!!!!:w00t:

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!!!!! no other way to get this info and get it right. if you are going to be sucessful with this YOU have to do it. the doc can only suggest and advise. YOU hve to WANT this. it is NOT majic. It is WORK and YOU gotta do that work. best of luck!!!!

Well I had my last supper today. Church ahd a potluck event that just happens to coenside with my surgery date this Weds. man am i glad it did.:smile2: lots of all the good stuff none of us are supposed to eat. ok i confess to a piece of kfc--it was great!!! the rest of the stuff really just didnt appeal that much. i ate some but it just wasnt as great as i thought it would be. i think that slim fast must have killt my taste buds because that food is usually so good and tasty you cant get enuff of it in your mouth. yeah i know you all know what i am talkin about.:cursing: kind of like eatin sweet corn or pop corn. just cant get enuff of it in yer pie hole to satisfy fast enuff. yeah i ate a piece of ruhbarb pie too. last one for for a lifetime? dunno but maybe. have lost 17 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks on the slim fast torture diet for a total of 67 lbs since april 15th when i started at a whopping 467 lbs. thats a lot of fat folks!!!:thumbdown: never again!!! nope. not me!!! aint gonna happen.:cursing: i am sick of bein that fat guy. i cant wait till the doc "lassos" that stomach and i can get on with my life like i want to. not skinny but surley not that fat guy. look out world there is a new me headed your way and yer gonna love it cuz i am gonna love it. blessings to all........:cursing:

I am sick of slimfast and bullion and jello!!!! i made what my kids called "slap it in your pocket jello"--add a couple of packets of plain gelitanto the jello and it gets like gumy bears--to have something to chew on. i so badly miss chewing on a piece of meat!!! all the stuff i am supposed to eat is sweet. now i love sweets but give me a hunk of cake or a half a pie or a dinner plate sized cinnamon roll and i am in.lol anyway...i am so glad i found this site.you guys rock!!! thanks for the kind words and encouragement.

I am day 8 into the liquid diet. It sucks big time.:confused: Oh well that is the way things goe it seems. i confess i just cheated---i ate 3 slices of cucumber and onions and 4 carrotts. big deal (i hope)i started this journey when i stepped on the scales and saw the numbers 460 lbs. i said to myself that i was gonna die, be crippled or loose weight. started working out at a gym and got on the Lap Band program. i am down to 399--never thought a 3 would look sooooo good. i feel so much better and heck--i am sill a jolly, happy guy. There is just less of me. the band is gonna be "installed" on the 16th. the surgery does not bother me as much as the "what if i cant hang " thoughts. i know i can do it but it is just hard to think of success given a lifelong struggle with the weight. reading these posts has given me a bit of support and i hope i can be of support to others. BTW i can spell. it is my keyboard that cant spell and does not always(usually) use that caps/shift key. sorry if anyone gets offended. havent looked at enuff posts to see if the grammar/spelling police are alive and well on this blog. if they are, we might not get along too well unless they have a good sense of humor.:thumbdown:
