I'm not a "TRUE" SMMC Chica...i'm more of an interloping Chico, so I don't know about the doctor's office stuff, but my dietician, doctor and sundry other office types love that i'm posting, logging, discussing and torturing them with endless questions. Appearently they feel that A. I'm getting a ton of feedback from my own information and B. they can get a clear picture of any issues, mistakes etc by reviewing this info. I would say if your docs are against it, give em a good smack in the back of the head.

Today's Events (thats right...events people, not food)

8:45am: Doctor's office for another fill. Found out I have the VG and I am 8.5cc filled...still no restriction, hopefully this last .5 does the trick. I also found out that I lost 11lbs. So I would like the thank the Chicas...as clearly posting here and reading what you ladies are doing is helping me out A LOT!.

12:30pm: 3 bottles of Water in and 2 jello-o puddings (60 cal Sugar Free Chocolate puddings...yum). No problems eating...but i'm not pushing my luck. I will hold off on non-liquids until Saturday.

7:30pm: I've had 7 bottles of water, and for dinner I had some campbells Soup (broccoli cheese).

9:00pm: I had some Jello-o sugar free pudding.< /p>

When I finally had restriction, I definitely felt it. I took a drnk of Protein Drink and YUP! I felt it sitting there. It wasn't uncomfortable, nothing at all like when someone is stuck, I could just feel the "pressure" of something there. I could probably stand to be more restricted in terms of quantity, because I'm still the one stopping myself from eating more than a bandster portion, not my band, but with as tight as I get when I travel, and already figthing to get the amount of calories I do, I'm just not going to push it right now.

BTW, I'm 2.5 in a 4cc.

Okay girls (and bear:) ).....I don't know why, but I've had a rough band day.....I think it's because I'm tired and my inhibitions were really low today. Here goes:

Breakfast: 80 cal yogurt

AM Snack#1: 4 bites of thinly sliced bagel/ 2 tbsp Peanut Butter

AM Snack#2: 3 pieces of Hershey's Dark chocolate w/Almonds

Lunch: Not counting this because I hurled :cry (it was a small salad, but I made the mistake of yet again trying 2-3 bites of chicken on it)

PM snack #1: 2 small Peanut Butter Cookies

PM Snack #2: 2 bites of carrot cake

Dinner: Tortilla Chips/Queso (for the chiefs game) ....and lots of them...(this is where the majority of my calories came from today)

Total Calories: 1252 with 50 Grams of Protein (and the night is still young)...I'm gonna go lock myself upstairs in the bedroom, far far away from the kitchen.

Fluids: 40 oz Water, plus 16 oz coffee

Exercise: 5.25 miles walked at work:bored

scale isn't moving....but I'm also PMS'ing...(hence the carb attack today).

You are so funny! We would be glad to adopt you:p ....Do you mind me asking your name, where you are from, when you were banded, and stats (like your starting weight etc).....

My curiousity is getting the best of me....or you can remain anonymous and I will just call you bear;)

Hey Robyn - You know I've recently figured out that PMS-ing Carb Attack Connection myself. (I'm a slow learner) BTW 1250 cal isn't bad by my reckoning. OK you could watch your carbs and up that Protein a little but give me a break you can't be expected to keep that up every day! If we were that dedicated why did we need this blankity blank "Tool" called the band.

I also just got off my TOM last Fri/Sat which may have contributed to the weight loss spurt. Not that its ever helped any the previous 11 months.

Well for my food today:

Wendy's Chick Strip (Only 1*) with Ranch Dressing

Protein Bar

Grits w/Butter - One instant package shared w/son.

64oz - Water

Exercize - walked 1 lap behind work and lots of manual labor trying to get things moved out of the office for some new carpet we are getting at work. Pathetic but better than nothing.

*I gave the other 2 chicken strips away - was TOO Full on one. Funny less than a month ago I could have managed all three given 45-60 min to work at it.

Approx - Totals for today 550 cal / 40 protein. HMMM was going to go to bed but know I think I'll go down and have 1/2 an Isopure Protein Drink to get in another 20g. Think that will bump my cal up to 650ish range.

HUNGRY LIKE A WOLF TODAY.

i think its bc i am getting back to low-carb, especially after my sugarfest yesterday. on days i'm getting back to low-carb, i let myself eat as much as i want as many times as i want as long as i don't do carbs. on day 2 or 3 my hunger goes back to normal.

robyn, you won't regret it.

yeah, the way i've always done a low-carb detox is to just eat like hell the first day (not when i'm not hungry... but i am always hungry) and keep switching it up with lots of high-protein Snacks. then i get back to that nice place where i'm not food-obsessed and having powerful cravings all the time. for me, it takes 2-3 days, but i do NOT force myself to go hungry.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
