They just opened a new Super Target in town. I needed to get some new jeans (all mine are too big). Just one pair, that's all. I figured its new and it is bigger so they must have a bigger and better selection in the plus size dept.

After waiting for 6 weeks I finally saw the Surgeon on July 22nd. He felt I would be a godd candidate for the Lapband. He wants me to take 2 Nutrition classes, get a Psychological Evaluation, a cardiac evaluation (I have no heart problems so not sure why) and bloodwork done. He also wants me to get with my PCP and find something other than Voltaren to take for the pain. Plus I need to get with the Pain management Dr to get off of Lyrica. It seems the Lyrica causes weight gain.

Oww! I can really tell where my port site is! More pain then I expected. Not eating isn't an issue, trying to get all my protein in is! I feel "full" pretty much all the time. I actually ate some cream of wheat last night and could really tell when I was full, one bite past was too much. It's amazing, still haven't lost any (post surgery swelling, gain) but it will come and Im sure fast at first! I just hope this pain will pass and I will be able to get all the nutrition in that...

Hi Everyone,

I have to get this weightloss thing going again. So I've decided to do the pre-opt diet. Even though I go for my 3rd fill on 7/31 (who knows what will happen). I haven't had a fill since August 1, 2007. So I must say that I've done pretty good!

Okay today is my 1st day of liquids:

SF Jello
Better Than Boullion broth
Protein Shake

Be blessed!
