Day 17 - How It's Gone So Far

Icon 4 Comments
I've realized I'm not going to make my fortune in blogging. I don't know how people do it every day!

What I've experienced so far on my 17 or so days of liquid diet is that I'm not very hungry. Oh, I wanted to eat out of boredom. I even passed up going to a movie because I don't know how to enjoy a movie without...

Day 5

Icon 2 Comments
So far so good. I've been blessed that I haven't really suffered from stomach hunger. In fact, one of the first things I said to my husband after surgery was, "I feel full". I feel as if I've just eaten a decent meal. I imagine as the swelling goes down that feeling will lessen because I have no desire to eat right now. ...

Stop reading if your delicate sensiblilities are easily offended.

4 days post op: I'll state it simply.. DIARRHEA. And... don't trust your farts during the liquid phase. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what I mean. Image reduced in size

Bye for now.

Three Days Since Surgery

Icon 1 Comments
I'm feeling pretty good except I caught a cold. Coughing and sneezing are not fun at all right now. I haven't been hungry at all. I just want to eat because I want to. So, I'm focusing on my stomach instead of my head. I am tired of sweet stuff and concentrating more on broth. If we could still have jello I think I'd make...

Day After Surgery

Icon Leave Comment
So far so good. I'm amazed at how good I feel. I now understand those recently banded women skipping out of here yesterday when we checked in.

I'm experiencing very mild discomfort. My menstrual cramps were way worse then this. Burping sometimes sends a sharp pain, but again, I've felt worse. In fact, I felt far worse after...

Today Was The Day

I had my lapband surgery put in a few hours ago and I'm feeling great. I'll blog more about the experience another time. But for now I'll say the popsicles taste like heaven. Everyone here is so professional and kind. I was very nervous and emotional beforehand and it wasn't as bad as I had in my mind. I'm sore on my left...

Tomorrow Is The Big Day!

Icon Leave Comment
I have been too excited/nervous/scared to sleep and have been getting everything ready for tomorrow. I'm not sure what this means but I think I'm more scared about the liquid phase than the surgery. Probably just means that I love food far too much. Someone here mentioned their "love affair with food". That sums it up for me....

Three More Days!

Icon 2 Comments
Oh gosh, I am so anxious. I'm excited and scared. This is really a last resort for me and I want this to work. My husband says to focus on success not on failing, so I'm going to try that.
The pre-op diet is difficult for me because, face it, I like to eat. I'd lost 8 lbs as of yesterday. But, as I always do, when I felt...

My First Entry (Kinda)

Icon 2 Comments
Wow. I figured out this blog thing except that I accidentally made two blogs. :P Anway, I immediately started writing all about my weight and food issues. The reason I wrote, "Wow." is because I've been writing steadily for the last hour. What I ended up with is pretty intense and I'm not sure if I should publish it. It looks...
