A reflection of a year!



Recommended Posts

Well people..... Today is my one year anniversary! I must begin by boasting.......I walk an hour a day (uphill one-half of the time..down hill the other) thank God! I also write everything down...I am now on my "lap-band journal #4". I probably don't keep the most accurate books, but I will say I have been loyal. Free days .....yes I've had a few....drunk days...yes I've had a few....fun days....yes I have had many, but most of all I will say exercise days! Mind you I really don't like it , but somehow it has gotten into me.....when it is summer it is 7:00 IN THE A.M.....In the winter, it is two times a day for 30 minutes! Wow that is crazy! The other thing is I was on a platue (which I learned how to spell really, really good) for about 3 months, did not lose a pound, but I went down 3 sizes.....as I sit hear in a lose size 14 heading on to 13 (by the way I am 5'9") I have to tell ya it has been worth every single second! Journaling, exercising, and eating to your height , weight, and age....make a huge diff......Happy Bandiversary to me! Peace out and party on.......!

      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.
