Back on Liquids

ellemay · October 23, 2007

Well today I decided to get serious about the post-op diet. I found that I could eat anything without any difficulty and so I did by about day 10.

Yesterday I read why you should stay on the diet even if you can eat ( thanks WASabubblebut ) and decided that I should get serious and not wait till my first fill. Who knows if I have already streched the pouch by eating all the wrong things. I thought that when I have the band it will stop me from eating as I would get full quickly. I didn't realize that it may need to be adjusted a few times before it is at the right level for you. I have a lot to learn!

Ok, this band is a TOOL not the miracle answer. So I'm commited now to going back to the beginning. I'm going to do liquids for 3 days just to get my body into fat burning mode then do mushies with lots of Protein to ward off the never ending hunger for as long as I can. And of course work with my head hunger. I find that's the most difficult!

I have also booked in my first Aquaerobics class for Monday. I was doing it for 6 months prior to surgery for my aching joints and it really helped. I have the ok from the doctor to go back in the Water. Couldn't go in till now due to risk of infection. I can't wait. Hopefully by the time I am at 80kg I'll be able to do some gym work as well.

Here goes. New commitment, wish me luck!

Great job on renewing your commitment. It sounds like you have a solid plan in place to take you to success!

Thanks Carrot for your support.

I've made it through 2 days now, one more day and then I'll go to mushies. Can't wait. The Protein Soups I am using are giving me really bad tummy pains and gas. So I'll be glad to be on anything else.
