Here is a response I posted today in the forum regarding a fellow bandsters question about emotional changes encountered after banding. I think what I wrote makes a lot of sense and I'm really proud of this post. Plus, it just kinda came out. I didn't even know what I was writing as I was typing it. I got done and got a little teary-eyed over it. I think I've finally had my revelation and I put it into words for the world to see. Enjoy...

Grrr...still haven't lost anymore weight. Staying stuck @ -13. I guess I should just pat myself on the back for not gaining anything, eh?  Not much happening today. Making homemade bean & ham soup and it smells so good. I hope it's 1/2-way decent after I throw it in the blender.

BREAKFAST:

1 peach 'n passion fruit Dannon Fusion smoothie (too much sugar & calories, but good)...

I'm really interested in how many calories I'm taking in each day as well so perhaps I'll begin keeping track of that.
BREAKFAST:
1 cup .5% milk w/ 1 scoop (30 g.) protein powder
1/2 cup Cream of Wheat made w/ .5% milk

So I had my 2-week post-op appt. today. Saw Dr. Schram only briefly...he had more surgeries to get to and since I'm doing well, he didn't linger with me. He did say my incisions look great (still have most of the steri strips attached), my daily food intake sounds spot-on, and since I've lost 13 lbs., I'm considered to be doing excellent. Nutritionist came in and gave me the okay to begin purees. I spoke to her about my enormous hunger right now. She said it sounds like I healed uber-fast and...

As a new band patient, I'm struggling with the full liquid phase of post-op life. My 2-week follow-up appt. is tomorrow (01/16) and I'm going to hopefully be cleared for purees and/or soft foods. Otherwise, I may lean over and chew Dr. Schram's arm off...
I am beginning this journal to track my daily food. If I don't do it, I know I won't be as successful as I could be. Here goes nothin'!
