Jadeite commented on lapband82709's blog entry in Blog 74014
Right on Sister!! Way to Workit!!! You look great!! Thanks so much for the input, it really does help. I totally forgot about the Special K protien water mix. I used that stuff a couple years ago but had slipped my mind until you mentioed it. Congrats and keep it up Woman!! Jade -
Just a quick check in. Today is day six after my surgery and I am finally getting back on track... Fyi Codine does not mix well with others.. ie herbals... Very bad idea.. Good NEWS!!!! I am down 9lbs since the day after surgery!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!! This make me very very very very did i say very happy:biggrin::biggrin::crying::biggrin: Physically - I am still in a bit of pain. Burping a lot peeing and having normal bm's... thank god! Lost 9 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feeling like getting on the elliptical already:) Emotionally - Well wouldn't you know... I'm kickin it in the red tent and have had strange bouts of overwhelming emotion. Couple tears nothing tragic. Again I am just watching myself without judging. Spiritually - Feeling blessed, loved, strong, and transforming before my own eyes. Much like the snake shedding its skin. Here Here for the 21st century..

Pain is subsiding for sure. The gas pains are not fun. I am still burping a bunch guess ima gassy goose:) Good news though I lost 9lbs since the day after surgery! Very excited about that. Today i am feeling good enough to get on my brand new elliptical for awhile. Taking it easy but ready to move. Still not that hungry either... Have you had a fill yet, if not do you feel like you need one?
Well maybe we can both motivate each other to get through these next few months of school and then we get a much needed break!!!! Keep at it girl, it sounds like you are doing really great.
Take Care,

I am back at home and taking it SLOWLY!! To be honest I am feeling okish but not in the mood to get back into the normal routine, ie school. In a sense i have let go. Time has changed, Everything has changed. Any previously constructed outcome i had imagined is now non-existant. I don't want to go to school, not interested in having to do anything else besides take care of me... Yes there i said it. I don't want to worry about an ounce of responsibility. i enjoy sleep, my dreams have been out of control and wild. My energy levels fluctuate and a general sense of surreality looms around me. I am watching myself in the most literal sense. Cool. May only the highest good befall unto me!:thumbup:

Today was nice. Feeling much much better today. I am feeling 100% better than Friday after surgery. I felt good enough to walk around the mall and shop a little. My mom is great. She has helped me so much. This is the greatest gift anyone could ever give me. I am so grateful to my mother for giving me this gift of a better life. Today we got pedicures and enjoyed each others company. Im loving the new band.. Little sore but waning off the pain meds. :confused:

Okay so this weekend (Fri-Mon)did not workout for me so well. I completely went off the deep end and got wasted on Friday and spent saturday recovering :w00t::w00t: I am so disappointed in myself. I was doing so good on the pre-op diet and now its like starting over... So today i am getting back at it. :tongue_smilie: My surgery is on friday and i don't want to have any complications. I really hope i didn't mess anything up. Hoping these next few days of protein shakes and hot tea will be enough to at least get me back to where i was on friday.

The pre -op diet is okay.. I have cheated a couple times but still losing a few pounds. 4 to be exact.. Getting very nervous and praying that i will have a super quick recovery with no gas pains. Yesterday i went to a yin yoga class and it was awesome. just what i needed, long relaxing gentle poses. i going to try and be really good these next seven days. Stay on the diet Going on hikes and hopefully squeeze in another yoga class before i fly down to texas. I really wish i was not in school right now. i would rather just be focusing on me instead of struggling to keep up in class. My mind has just been so preoccupied with all of this.. Well sorry for venting. Thanks so much for your concern...
How are you doing.. Feeling some changes after one month. Have you gone in for a fill yet? Just wondering. Are your clothes getting a little looser? Sure hope so. Love to hear an update from ya
