| Pre banded,, finally losing a few pounds
I started really watching what I was eating again back in February, and couldn't lose a pound no matter what I ate. I met with the nutritionist and we figured I needed to change things up a bit.. also a suggestion from a post lap bander too..well, it worked.. I was in a rut, eating the same things almost every day, yogurt, cereal, salad, chicken.. Now I eat low sodium and fat soup, protein shakes, cottage cheese, lean deli meats along with the other stuff and dropped 7.5 lbs!!! in 3 weeks.. One of the big things was eating a little something between lunch and dinner..
but....
my biggest accomplishment is getting my stress and worries under control. I don't know how it could make that much difference, but for 3 weeks I have been seeing a therapist and I am so much more in control of my emotions I feel different. Life is far from stress free or perfect, but being able to sleep at night and not think of a hundred things that are going on is so much better.
I have one more meeting with the therapist before she signs off for me, and said she would be there if I ever needed to see her again, and that is very important to me. I want to be able to check in should the need arise. I'm not even upset that it has moved things back for me anymore, it has made me feel stronger!
