Okay so as you guys know I was having a food meltdown, since I've been on my liquid diet, I have 5 more days of this. But i got on the scale just now, I started at 309, now I am 295....a total of 14lbs lost. Wow, I am going to go walking bright and early tomorrow morning that just gave me more motivation. I did do my Zumba on Saturday and it did make me feel more energized. Focus, Focus, Focus

Hey I read your post, and I felt like you were attacked, you just asked a question. To answer your question I didn't cheat on my post op diet but I felt like I could. But if you did cheat, it was that one time and as you said, you learned from it. And as we live our lives we learn from things. Wish you best during this lap band journey, I had my surgery July 12th, right now i'm in the soft foods stage.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow girl. Well my doc told me i can exercise whenever i felt i could, but i haven't done any sit ups because my stomach is a tiny sore
-
congratssssss
-
Oh yeah good luck on your surgery!!! Know you're excited. I will pray for the surgeon hands that will perform your operation. Stay blessed!

Hey, thanks for checking on me, I am doing great. I never went to the hospital for surgery before, but the staff made me comfortable, and as soon as you breath into the mask you will wake up in your recovery room lol,foreal. I wasn't in any huge pain at all, it just felt like someone punch me in my chest, not a painful feel though, I been doing everything my doctor ordered, because I don't want to mess this up. I have 4 more days to eat soft/puree foods, right now I'm on liquids, I was a little frustrated during this process, but I seen that I lost 15lbs, so I figure it's not that bad, I also been exercising, I walk during the day time for 30 minutes and I did my Zumba class on Saturday, because it's every saturday

Yeah I go back next week as well, this my last week of no working

OH yeahhhh I been doing Zumba before I got banded, but I wasn't eating properly. But Now that I am, things should work out. And I love Zumba, and yea I am the biggest one in my class, but I stay on beat and I don't sit it out, because I can do it just like they can. And I tell them when I go there, I'm holding it down for the big girls lol, they laugh and tell me I do so good with the steps, but It's fun, and I figure if Zumba is supposed to help you lose weight then its not just for people that are in shape, its for all of us, and our class is diverse, we have young,old, big, small, not so big, not so small, african american, caucasian, hispanic, asian...its a diverse class. So anyone would feel comfy, ..besides even if it wasn't..i will still get my dance on lolll , but do itt itss sooo much fun, you can start with the zumba dvds first if you want to try it out, or actually what I did before i purchased my dvds was looked it up on youtube and do it with them. Anyway yOU CAN DO ITTT

Okay my friend invited some people over for a dinner that she was cooking. After she had invited them she asked me would that offend me. She already invited them and because she did I would look like a witch if i said no. Now I'm smelling all this food, and I can't eat anything until 5 days from now which I am going to the mushy food phase. I am going over to my friend house so I won't have to smell this food:cursing:. I am starting to feel like I'm not strong. I am really trying guys, I have done exactly what the doc wants. I just come up here for motivation, because I know why I chose the lapband and yes I realize it's only 5 more days of liquids, but ...so much temptations, and i'm irritated.

Im only allowed liquids :smile: -
I am down 11lbs too, because I was at 309, now it says 298, wow. I have five more days for soft food, thank God. The EAS is what I'm drinking too, and you're right the taste is starting to piss me off because thats all I been drinking, that and chicken broth, but yesterday i bought egg drop soup from chinese place and drained the eggs out and drank the juice, it was delicious.

Thanks alot, this website and helpful people like you keep my mind at ease, it's cool to know you aren't the only one going through the same thing, its good that others have experienced the same issues.

Okay I think I get it now..can someone clarify?
HoneyBrown replied to HoneyBrown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks alot Tish. Yes I have been doing exactly what I am supposed to do. But I just got to the root of the problem and figured why I was so hungry, I was restricting myself from drinking too much because I was afraid I would throw up or something. But now I am full after drinking that liquid soup lol. So I think I got the hang of it now. -

Okay just got my band on Monday right. Soo because I don't have my fill yet, does this mean that there is no restriction? I mean I was scared on how much intake of liquid I was taking but at the same rate I was soo hungry..is this why I was hungry? because I restricted my liquids when I didn't have to? So I only get a restriction when I get a fill right? -
Okay I am on liquids, on day 3. I haven't been hungry but my best friend has brought alot of groceries and she is eating like good food in front of me, I don't want to be a party pooper and tell her not to because I am trying to be strong. I think I just might go to sleep so I won't think about it, I am not hungry, i think its a mental thang
-
The thing about it, I wasn't even in pain, I felt uncomfortable like someone punch me in my chest but thats about it, im now on day 4 and my stomach growling, well its not now i just had popsicles and pudding
-
When will day 10 get here so I can break open this can of Tuna. I was fine for the first few days, now a sista is hungry. I am in my room listening to music, reading books, pacing back in forth, going to sleep waking up, doing whatever i can to get my mind off of this. I wasn't hungry for the first couple of days, now I am hungry. I think I will get me a bottled water and shake some crystal light in there. I am trying my bestest, because I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly. It's a mental thing, I just need to focus focus focus.
-
Thanks, I am soo hungry now, but Im in my room eating popsicles im trying not to think about it.
-
She's not doing it intentionally, she has to eat too. I am in my room. I can't wait until week 3 so I can eat tuna atleast. My stomach is now growling, I wasn't hungry at first, now I feel it.
