Guess what everyone?

1)My B/P is too low to take my meds! I have to see PCP and let him decide what to do now. I can't believe it is happening so fast!

2) I tried on some smaller clothes today and I was able to get in a size smaller jeans that were brand new and I hadn't ever worn them. They have been hanging in my closet just waiting for me.

Yipee! I must be doing something right.

That's great Lolly! I too have come off one of my bp meds and have been digging in the back of the closet for smaller clothes. It's fun isn't it? And I've been shopping a good bit lately but am going to the thrift stores to buy my clothes. I feel like it's more motivating to wear clothes that fit...people tend to notice that you've lost weight and compliment you on your progress. Plus it just feels good to wear clothes that fit. Keep up the good work Lolly!

How is everyone? I just wanted to share that yesrerday i was goffing off and decided to try on some of my husbands sleep pants that are a mens medium and guess what the fit without being to tight. I still have a long way to go but that helped me a lot because i thought they were a large till i went to put them on and when i saw a medium i said they will never fit. Have a good day everybody

Yippee! You go girl! Doesn't it feel good to wear something smaller....even if it's your hubby's sleep pants?

I have a stack of size 22 waiting for me that my SIL passed on to me. It will be awhile but I'll get there. You just watch & see.

Congrats again.

Hey everybody! I know I havne't been on here in a long time, but I just wanted to pop in with an update. I am doing well. I felt back to my old self about 6 weeks after post-op, and 1/2 way through mushies I can't even tell I have the band, other than the decrease in the amount I can eat. I have never had problems with any foods, even when I swallow larger bites than I should (usually on accident). Never had a PB. I'm now 4 months out at 37 lbs down. I don't think I am restricted as much as I need to be, as I can almost eat as much as I did before. For example: yesterday I ate two hot dogs (FF turkey and light bread - so not fattening), but I don't think I should be able to eat two of them, should I?

I also just bought a new elliptical the other day (YEAH!) and it should be delivered next week. Can't wait!

Anyhoo. I am at 7cc in the Realize-C band, which I THINK holds 9CC (correct me if I'm wrong)

Anybody else have the Realize-C band? How many CC's did it take for you to get to good restriction? I KNOW everyone is different, and it can vary greatly. I am just curious.

Thanks everyone!

Wow it looks like everyone is Rockin and Rollin!! I hope to be at support group on Saturday. I am supposed to take some pictures at 8am at the Botanical Gardens that morning, but hopefully it won't take too long.

I ordered me one of them Body Magic fat sucker inny things this week. A girl I work with sells them and she wore it a couple of weeks ago and OMG!! She is small anyways, but it really puts things in their place (if you catch my drift). I cannot wait! They are kinda pricey, but appears to be well made and a good alternative to plastic surgery (for now).

Glad to see everyone doing well!! Hope to see ya'll on Saturday!!!

=)

      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.
