Almost 5 mnths out & still learning



Recommended Posts

You know--speaking of small bites, I can remember, (and not that long ago) when I had taken my grand daughters into Taco Bell for lunch. Sitting there were a couple of mom's with their skinny bodies and I remember wondering--HOW CAN 1 TACO FILL YOU UP??? Well now I know and now I also know that is how they eat and stay slim. Small portions eaten with small bites. ( cause not only could they get by only eating 1 taco--they were so dainty and did it in 15 or 20 minutes. I could down a taco in 2.3 seconds! Oh those were the days and I am glad they are gone!!

WEll- I hope last night was an awakening for me. I read Penni's email to me about DF Francesca & her erosion. I prayed for her & as I did made a vow to be better to my band. Not that Franceca did anything at all wrong - just that we all need to rememeber that we never know when or how we could lose our bands * we need to treat them w/respect & follow the rules to get the most out of them while were able.

Thank you for all the support & I love the crabfork idea & smaller plate- Thanks Penni & Michelle. I actually was using a salad plate but there is no reason why I can't use a saucer;0)

Pink Mary- Its so funny that you wrote about the diary on PBs- I started one the day I read your post- I think thats a smart idea. Like Michelle said its smart to write everything down in a journal- I just have never mastered that- I am going to really try - especially b/c I am going away soon for another 2 weeks- so it should be easy to do.

Pat- Thank you so much for your encouraging PM. I looked at my last PB(Gross I know) & you were right on the button- not chewed as well as I thought:0) Lol - gross- lol :0)

Marimaru- Yes the 1st bite is a big reason for pbs & also my 4 th one- your monta will be one I try & repeat- along with Penni's voice whispering in my ear-"SLOW DOWN or YOU"LL BE SORRY:0)"

I'll let you all know how I do by next Thursday- Thats when I will be determing to keep the fill I have or go back to .25.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
