I have been at the same weight for a few weeks now, not up or down but simply maintaining. My Dr. approved my first fill which I got last week Monday (08/23/10). I have lost another 5lbs this past week and am excited about it. I do still have the feeling that it's not enough. I know that this is a journey and it will take a while to get where I need to get, but just like most I cant help wanting immediate gratification. ARGH!! Okay I need to learn that any lb down is one more gone and that every week that I am losing is another week that I am not gaining!! I think I can, I think I can!! Here's to everyone that is maintaining.....positive thought  -  the numbers are not going UP!! That is my outlook on it!! Have a great weekend all!!      

Aloha 

Now that it's almost time to start the pureed food part of my diet, I am getting a little nervous. I am used to the consistency of jell-o and yogurt, so I really don't want to get the "stuck" feeling. I was told use a Braun blender or a food processor that will chop everything up so fine that's its almost like a mushy soup. Hope that works for me! Looking forward to an adventurous week hehe!!

Because I am on liquids, I have been refusing to cook at home. My husband has been doing mostly heat and serve or my mother would pitch in and prepare something. So today I finally caved and cooked. Oh boy that was complicated! I think it's the smell that gets to me most! Remembering how this or that taste. So next meal I will try something new. Do my shake before I cook that way the "rumbly in my tumbly" as tigger would say will hush!!

Hope you all are doing well on your journey, I think I am looking forward to cottage cheese!! That's my next step!!

Okay so I am finally post-op! Still a little groggy from the meds. The pain fells like small stings around the incision area. The most discomfort is from the tightness in chest. It feels like I have to burp or heartburn. Unsure if its the band restriction and just getting used to it or actual gas that needs to come out. Either way I will see how I feel tomorrow. I am able to drink water, jell-o and clear broth, all low fat and or sugar free of course! Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow!

New Whey tubes not so yummy!! Thank goodness for shot glasses its the only way I can get those down!! Followed by a Crystal Light chaser sip! Now its hours and counting!

Okay only two more days Sunday and then all clear liquids on Monday..... yeah not looking forward to that one. As much as the BA shakes are okay, it will be rough not having the thick liquid in my tummy. But I think I can, I think I can, wait I KNOW I can!! Surgery day here I come oh and to my new friend with the same surgery date here you come too!! Good luck to all with upcoming surgery's and to all those that are in recovery, well wishes!!
Have and awesome week all! I will focus on the positive and know that at the end it will ALL be worth it!

If victory taste so sweet, then why do these meal replacement shakes taste soo yuck!!

I am currently on my second day of liquids before surgery, I am adapting to the taste of the Meal replacement shakes so here's hoping that the New Whey protein tubes are tolerable as well. At least I get to have lettuce, broccoli, carrots and other vegetables. Without that I am pretty sure my brain would think I was starving. I am glad that this was introduced one week before the surgery so that I can get used to what it will be like directly after.

The count down begins only 8 more days till surgery!
