1. Please don't ask me, "Can you eat that?" Yes, I can, watch me. If I pick something up and put it in my mouth, it's because I can eat it.
2. I have no idea how to respond when someone who is very very overweight says, "I have the lapband, it didn't work for me. Good luck." What am I supposed to say to that??
3. Not getting to drink with my meals just plain stinks! After I eat, I'm thirsty. I really think this might be one of the most difficult things for me.
4. I've lost almost 25 pounds. This is GREAT! But when I go shopping I want size 12s to fit. They don't. Still have a long ways to go. But when I was painting my toe nails today, I didn't get out of breath from having to bend over.
5. I miss having a Diet Coke at 2:30 PM every week day.
6. I get sad when I'm full. Like tonight...I had Parmesan crusted tilapia with tomato sauce. It was DELICIOUS. I only got halfway through it before I was stuffed. This makes me sad. I wanted more.
7. I have found the best sugar free cookies. But I want to eat more than one. Must. Stop. Buying. Cookies. Even sugar free ones.
8. Thank you IHOP for catering to people who have different diets. Your Egg Beaters Turkey Bacon Swiss omelette is the best!
9. If you're reading my blog, will you please say so? I think my mom is the only one who reads this...well, and everyone else she makes read it. Thanks to my biggest fan! Love ya, Mom!!
I'm reading it! But tell me, what's the deal with the "fill"?
ReplyDeleteDiana, I have the band around my stomach, but the fills are what tightens it. It's an injection of saline through a port in my abdomen. The tighter the band, the less I can eat.
ReplyDeleteChrista, glad you are doing well, let me know your feelings, pros and cons, my wife was wanting the lapband and I have heard mixed things about it. She is similar to you, after having 4 kids she has retained some weight with each one and we have done all the diets that dont work as well. Please give me feedback cause my insurance does cover it so she has been hounding me for it. Thanks and good to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading too! I will try to be more faithful about leaving comments. You rock!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading! So glad you're doing well! Congrats on the 25 lb loss!!
