Yoda,

I had a goal for June and guess what? I had that one pesky pound that kept haunting me for months - it's gone and I'm down 4 below. My June goal is to maintain goal for this month.

Hope you're having a great week!

June goals...

UMMMmm....

1 - Survive In-Laws visit in mid-June :(

2 - Get my fill without crying when they stick me with the needle! :pray:

3 - Survive my first TAT on thursday (no crying will be a bonus) :nervous

4 - Start the exercise part of my band life :frusty:

5 - Support Mrs. Yoda in her June goals :hug:

6 - Stay healthy and happy as the temp rises at work (adv. 130F on nice summer days) :fear:

That's not too lofty for a newbie, is it?

Did I mention the In-Laws coming???? :)

1. Stick to the Post-op diet

2. Maintain current weight (losing would be a bonus)

3. Walk a min. 30 min every day.

I think I'll stop here and give myself a chance.:)

Mr. Y- What's a TAT?

Tattoo!!!!!

I'm getting the one I have around my ankle "fixed" this afternoon (I had emergency surgery 4 yrs ago and they had to "cut" through my tattoo). While there, I am getting another one and Mr Yoda is getting his first!!! His mother is going to kill me (yet another thing I'm a bad influence on him for!!!). But of course, as you all know, Mr Y. has a mind of his own and I did NOT talk him into this (I would never talk anyone into something as permanent as a tattoo...it is an individual decision)...but all the same; I can't wait to see his mom's face!!!! *evil laughter*

Hi: You have probably lost your Cookies (lol). When I do a full scan for viruses Norton Security posted a message that I was being tracked and the threat was low. I deleted the cookies and lost my ticker. Had to go back and reinstall it. Doddie

1. Get a fill...feel some restriction

2. Finish Finals (why do i subject myself to summer classes)

3. Lose 2 pounds before fill

It's funny you say get a tat...i was thinking about getting one myself...One that had a meaning, something that represents my weight loss journey, as well as my passion for medicine and health...probably a rod of asklepios. (the stick with the snake around it)...I'm not sure...i will probably wait till i lose some weight first.

Thanks Yoda,

I do feel great - kinda weirded out being at goal though.... now what? is my question and do I have the tools to stay the course? How will I handle difficult situations? I know I know.... I'm just sayin'.

PS. We do need to have a gab session soon. Let me know.

Woo! Finally after weeks and weeks at the same, I was down a pound(ish) today! Let's hope this is the beginning of some steady ticker movement!

And I still am running. I'm taking the couch potato to 5k a little slower than they suggest, but it's ok. I'm now at running for a whopping 90 seconds, then walking for 2 minutes!

So far I am doing ok on the post -op diet. At least I think I am. I start soft food on wednesday and I am looking forward to a nice scrambled egg! I have had a few days that I really wished I could have something that required chewing lol but I managed to get through them in tack! It is actually amazing how quickly the time is going by.

      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.
