I went to the gym!!! I did it!!! I went on the treadmill for 40 minutes and 20 minutes on the bicycle. I did a good pace, but not too fast.

This is what I ate today:

Breakfast: 1 egg and cheddar cheese

Lunch: 1 South Beach chicken and green Beans

Snack: 2 string cheese

Snack: 1 Activia yogurt

Dinner: smoked oysters

I have gotten about 44 ounces of crystal light so far. I forgot to take my Vitamins. I have only gotten about 900 calories so far. My goal is 1200.

I have had no problems eating, but I have to stop when I get to about 1 cup.

How are you all doing????

Oh yeah, congrats to all of you who are getting banded tomorrow!!!!

I will keep you in my prayers!!!:clap2:

GOOD for you getting back to the gym..my big plan is to start walking wednesday evening, after resting a bit...there is a dirt 1/4 mile track at the barn, it is a beautiful walk with lots of bunnies, birds, sometimes a coyote or two...I am going to ask the dr. to get the extra gas out before closing up, like someone had mentioned...I had my last big dinner tonight, tomorrow I will watch the food intake, although my doctor said I didnt have to do anything special..I just dont want any big surprises saved up, if ya know what I mean..eeeek...:D

That sounds beautiful!!! Walking as soon as possible is what I wish I would have done. I got so lazy. It was hard to get up and go today. But, once there I was fine.

You will be okay. I have been under so many times! I had a Tummy Tuck, 2 c-sections, the lapband...

They also gave me pain meds in my IV before surgury so when I woke up I was not in pain!

Doing really good except I'm tired a lot. Can't seem to get the calories in that I need or something. I tried eating a bit more for lunch today and my ribs hurt for about 30 minutes afterwards. Doctor said not to worry right now about counting calories but to work on learning to eat properly with the band (chewing well and eating slowly with no liquids). Who would've thought I would ever have a problem with too few calories!!!!

Audree, have you tried a tortilla wrap yet? I love Subway and am afraid that is always going to be a no-no, they also have the wraps. Just wondering if since surgery has anyone tried the wraps that fast-food places have?

      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.
