True Confessions Of A LapBander

Don't excercise enough - I walk twice a week for 20 minutes. Have bought some new plus size yoga DVD's to help with moving more.

Don't drink enough Water - only choke down maybe 1 large 32oz everyday.

Don't eat healthy enough - I do eat more veggies but its hard for me to get them in on a regular basis.

I am pretty good about not drinking with meals - occasionally I do, but most of the time I put my drink in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after I eat that way I'm not even tempted by having it in front of me.

Alrighty then, my no, no's are:

- Drink White (our vodka) & Club soda at least twice a week

- No Exercise (keep starting and stopping)

- Eat bread (because I can)

- Depend On the Band Too Much (just started accepting that fact)

- Make bad choices all the time

Today I'm 4 weeks and 1 day post-op. I made an "executive" decision to start eating soft foods today. I can't stand the thought of one more liquid meal! I ate at Arby's today, just the deli meat, and didn't feel one bit guilty about it. In fact, it was the first time I have felt even remotely satisfied by food in the last 4 weeks. I'm supposed to be on hard solids starting next Monday. There seems to be no transition period.

My plan is to continue to eat soft foods this entire week!
