Had my first fill on Monday, December, 1st. Went just fine. Was in and out in less than 5 mins. Didn't even see the Doctor, just his PA.
I can't really eat very well. I defiantly feel the restriction. I have lost 11 lbs since Monday! Guess not eating does something! jk! I am eating protein drinks and eggs.
I have an amazing baked egg, spinach recipe that will blow your socks off! Let me know if you would like it.
I have got to start eating more. I hate my Doctor's post-op diet. It is ridiculous, ABSOLUTELY absurd how different all the lap band post-op diets are. And, my Doctor seems to have one of the strictest out there. Technically I am suppose to still be having full liquids. I have eaten some mushie foods (like scrambled eggs and pureed cottage cheese) and everything was fine. I didn't hurt or feel weird. However, I feel compelled to follow my Doctor's diet. And, I feel like I am cheating, even though I am not getting enough protein, calories, or even fat in my diet. My body is starving. SO.... I am going to make an effort to drink three protein drinks a day. At the very least. If that is all I get in, so be it. At least I got all the protein I needed.
I ordered new bands for my "Walk Away the Pounds" videos. I love them. Some people think Leslie is annoying. She is a little but I still like the videos. So, once that shows up in the mail I am going to start trying to do it once a day, while Caitlyn is napping.
I booked a 7 day cruise for me and my husband. I am obsessing about the shore excursions and trying to make plans. This is our first cruise. I am very excited. I am also obsessed about what I am going to wear on the cruise. But, I have NO clue what size I am going to be at the end of February. I keep getting all these sale ads and emails. I want to buy clothes but it is truly pointless to spend my money on clothes at this point. I can wear my Mother's hand me downs.
I did put on a pair of size 22/24 capri pants she gave me. They were those stretch denim kind, so I don't know if I am really a 22/24 yet.
I don't want to weight myself. I am scared that it won't say 283 again. I think it was a fluke. My weight fluctuates so much. Plus, I get super bloated from swallowing air. I am still claiming that 283. I'll weigh next week and see what the scale says.
YIPEE!!!! 
Well, I am trying to eat more. I drank almost a full 8oz protein shake earlier today.
Going to go see what sort of soup looks appetizing for lunch, I may just have some UnjuryUnjury Chicken Soup to make sure and get the protein in.
Halloween has come and gone. We didn't take Caitlyn trick or treating last night. She didn't take a good afternoon nap, and none of us wanted to take a tired baby. Next year will be better and her Daddy will be back from being deployed.
I weighed myself this morning. The scale said 287. Last night before I went to bed it said 290. I was super bloated though. Like noticeably. I looked at my stomach this morning and was like... "Wow! That does not look like the same stomach as last night." That is what prompted me to get on the scale.
I have a Doctor's appointment on Monday. Post-Op follow up. My incisions looks pretty good. They would look better if I would leave them alone! I am a terrible picker. I can't help myself!
I can't decide if I should update my weight or not. It might of been a fluke. I am suppose to measure today. My measuring partner left to go to the OU game. So, I guess I can try and measure all by myself.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend.
Well as some of you know, I have successfully been banded. Went off without a hitch. I was in a little pain, but nothing I didn't expect. I had lots of liquid hydrocodone! My Doctor is awesome. I recommend Dr. Cribbens to anyone. He's very laid back.
I am suppose to be on a liquid diet for 5 weeks. I don't think I am going to make it. I am so sick of soup and protein drinks. I want to eat so bad. I am so discouraged, that I just don't eat at all. Which is even more terrible. My body is starving and I am not really losing any weight. I know all of this, but can't seem to get myself to drink the protein shakes.
I have no reason to be crabby or grumpy. I just am.
I haven't posted anything on this blog ever. But, I guess you have to start sometime!
I am a lot of things. I am 33 years old. I am a Military Wife. I am a Stay at home Mommy. I am morbidly obese.
I hope to ...scratch that... I am changing that last one.
October 21, 2008 @ 7:30am, I will be starting my new life. I am getting laproscopic gastric banding surgery. I couldn't be more excited or scared.
