I have now been completely adjusted!



Recommended Posts

We started with a diet adjustment. The nutritionist went over everything I should be eating and what I shouldn't be eating. How much I should be eating. What my priorities should be. She answered all my questions about what I'm doing now and where I'm going. It was AWESOME! I was sure she was going to tell me I was doing a TON of bad things. The only thing she kept stressing as my downfall was not getting enough liquid. Which I knew....but she said I get to count my coffee as 1/2 liquid instead of none, so that helps a little. I'm renewing my commitment to getting in all my liquid!

Next was my band adjustment. I was so scared. I was so sure I was going to be poked and jump and they were going to puncture my tube or something horrible....Well, the PA did struggle getting the needle in but I guess it was because my port is directly under a mole and she didn't want to poke my mole because they bleed so badly. It took a little but it finally happened. I had 4cc's in from surgery and she added 1 cc. I guess I have room for 10, but hopefully will have some restriction now. I do today but know that most of it is from swelling. I'll be wishing for next week to be the same.

Then I went to Lane Bryant for a little window shopping, but couldn't resist. I had to pick up a couple of things. I bought a top that was a 14/16!!! I was looking at going into the 22's pre-op because my 20's were getting too tight. And I fit into a size 3 jean!!! okay, that was just good for my ego even though they have started a jean line that they number 1=14, 2=16, etc. So I really fit into an 18! But 3 sounds so much better doesn't it? It was very empowering to go shopping yesterday.

My final adjustment was an attitude adjustment at my support group meeting. WOW were some of those people inspiring. They were great about talking about struggles and how they are trying to get back onto the program. I was feeling pretty good about my weight loss after that because they were all so proud of me! That felt pretty good too.

So all in all I am adjusted...I don't know what else could have been tampered with.

And as for my weight loss.....drum roll please.....I am down to 197! That's 23 pounds since pre-op. and i"m counting since pre-op because all loss counts! I never would have lost it had it not been for this journey, so it counts.

I hope everyone has something so wonderful happen to you this week,

Steph

Oh Yea for you Steph! Way to go! and I want more NUT info too . . . some of us don't get that quality of what to do, how to do it . . . and we have to live vicariously through others :). ALSO . . . you already had some fill from the surgery? cool for YOU . . . I don't have anything yet and I'm chomping at the bit now.

Anyway - great job . . . keep up the good work . . .and keep the info flowing :)

Chris,

When I have a chance I will write something about my NUT suggestions. The biggest thing is to be balanced. And the amount of food she said I could have vs the amount of food I KNOW will fit in my stomach is amazing. It's like saying you can eat ALLLLLL of this. How in the world can you be hungry then?

For now, I'm just loving my adjustments.....attitude and all. I hope things are going good for you. I can't imagine how frustrating without a fill right now. I forget when you said you will be getting your fill. For me it was really strange. She asked, are you nauseaus? no...Are you hungry when you wake up? uhhhhYEAH!!! Who isn't? Are you hungry before your next meal? a little. She said my loss may be going really good but it's more important to get me "not hungry" so I don't sabatoge my band. So...in for a fill. It looks like those will be the key questions each time because they were on a form the NUT asked and then gave to the PA. BTW, the PA was great. I was a little perturbed that I would be having a PA and not my dr. but she was awesome and I never should have worried.

Okay...so hopefully tomorrow I will have a chance to sit down with guidelines and can share those....look for them.

Steph

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
