My first closet clean out

Posted 09-04-2008 at 04:40 PM by aclubb
So, over the long weekend I did my first closet clean out - woo hoo! There were 2 bags of clothes that no longer fit me. I'm just over 40 pounds lost in 2 months since I started my liquid diet. So, I'm stoked!

I am also doing the couch to 5k program and week 3 is kicking my ass! But, it feels good. Now, I get impatient from sitting at my desk all day cuz I want to be out and about. How cool is that?

Also, I'm proud to report that my long-time nemesis of the playground...

About 3 weeks post op

Posted 08-04-2008 at 09:29 PM by aclubb
So, I'm about 3 weeks post op and feeling much better. The first week after the surgery was tough, but I'm very happy with the band overall. I've lost 28 pounds including the pounds I lost on the pre-op liquid diet. I am eating mushy foods now and trying to keep it "natural" like kiwi, bananas, etc. And, I've found a new love in avocado! I am feeling really good and now I know it's time to start implementing an exercise program. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting in...

I did it! I got my band yesterday!

Posted 07-17-2008 at 09:17 AM by aclubb
Wow. Up until the last minute I thought I was going to change my mind or surely SOMETHING would happen that would not allow me to get banded.

But, everything went smoothly and now I am home and banded. I am not in too much pain. It's been about 5 hours since my last dose of liquid codene and I really don't feel like I need more yet. Doing about 1/4 of chicken broth and a lot of ice chips. GasX strips and walking about every hour also seem to be helping. I guess the OnQ is also...

Liquid Diet - not counting the days anymore!

Posted 07-12-2008 at 02:21 PM by aclubb
So I finally stopped counting the days on my liquid diet and it just seems kinda normal now. I can feed my kid a burger or whatever she wants and am not too tempted. Actually, she has taken a liking to soup lately - "just like mommy" she says. Which just goes to show how much our kids learn from us when we're trying not to teach them.

I'm determined to create new habits for myself with this surgery and teach her how to have an active, healthy lifestyle. I don't want her...

Liquid Diet Day # 8 and solid food eaters are gross

Posted 07-09-2008 at 09:33 PM by aclubb
Ok, so someone give me a reality check here. My family had fried chicken tonight and I was at the table feeding my 2 year old, drinking my vanilla shake. And really watching everyone eat grossed me out. Not because of the food, but the heavy breathing, loud chewing, burping, etc. My family (God love 'em) did not paint a pretty picture of eating.

Is this normal? Do I need to go back for another psych eval? Or maybe just I'm resentful that I'm not eating a greasy ass piece...
