Second Fill ( 3)
Feb 24, 2007
I've been a baaaaaad girl! I gained back 12 pounds. It's all a matter of eating the WRONG things in moderation.LOL Back on track nutritionally and, within 2 weeks, I have moved 10 pounds in the right direction. I've been so lucky. No PB's, everything stays down. Weight comes off beautifully when I let it. Oh well. I'll just keep plugging.

Pureed foods are tasting pretty good. My attitude has improved and I no longer refer to my food as "dog vomit." I've lost 21 pounds since the start of the pre-op diet. Went down a size. Don't get out of breath anymore. Not allowed to join an exercise class yet. Just walking, walking and walking. Constipation is a problem. Really happy with my decision. First fill will be December 1st.

Surgery was a complete success. No complications. Stayed overnight. Sleeping on the living room couch. I'm in hog heaven: magazines, puzzle books, DVD's and my new stuffed animal, Piggy. Crushing my pills, sipping my liquid diet and s-l-o-w-l-y getting up and sitting down. My DD is taking good care of me. Really happy now. Glad I did it.

Tomorrow I walk into Central DuPage Hospital and get banded. So far, I have lost 8 pounds. Flooded with good wishes from fellow OH bandsters. Shaking in my boots. A welcome distraction is my son just became engaged. Hey, I'd be trying to lose weight anyway! I keep making terrible jokes about dying during surgery and everyone tells me to stop it. The fear is still there. Trying to look beyond it. Here goes nothin'.
October 10, 2006 I start the pre-op diet.

I met with Julie and she put me on the diet. It looks pretty good. From now until October 23rd, I'll be eating Carnation Sugar-Free Instant Breakfast with skim milk for both breakfast and lunch. I can alternate it with other protein shakes, but I really like Instant Breakfast. Dinner is 2-3 oz. of meat, lots of vegetables and 1 cup of a starch. I can drink any non-carbonated, sugar-free, caffeine-free drink. I get 2 snacks which can be sugar-free pudding, fruit, diet popcorn or some other stuff. I weighed in at 260--2 pounds up from my first appointment back in April.
