came home yesterday....and did my dvd step aerobics .....

while i was doing my thing, it occurred to me, that my body was working..

and it was getting stronger and healthier with each step i take up and down..

and that is what having WLS is all about.

recently read a post on band vs sleeve vs bypass

does it really matter???

get the one you want and will adhere to the instructions and GET well

each day that passes is a day lost......

is how i see it...

i have the band and plication...i am making it work for me..

if something happens, i will deal......worrying about what ifs does NOT

help......what if nothing goes wrong?? see what i am saying...

so i am getting healthier every day

exercising

eating GREAT food

and the more inches i lose, the more shoes i buy :)

gotta love those FM shoes...

checking in.......yesterday, did a lot of walking and it was fun...

whats fun is that i can (now).....walk.......when i couldnt not that long ago and now that i can, that to me is success..

ans yes with that (horrid) band i have been reading about....yikes...you would think us large people would support each other and not judge so harshly...boy is this ever proving to be wrong...and how sad.

anyhow.......that is not my business or concern...

cat/steph....uk will whip my butt and you dont need to show up as i give up now......dec line up for me is brutal....i barely got by friday......i cant wait to see how we play today at 4.....

last night we met up with some mc people and watched a band play and it was a good time

I got in a run this morning. 70+ degree weather in the middle of November. And storming some nearby now.

CG,your Tar Heels have a good chance of getting a couple players back within a month?

Keep up the good work friends and have a good Sunday.

      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.
