Getting Hungrier by the day




I'm getting hungrier and hungrier. I can eat more and more. I'm really trying to keep my portions smaller and I am sticking to the diet for the most part. I'm eating more and more mushy then pureed but everything is going down ok.


I have an appointment on Friday (my phone says it's on Friday but I really think it's on thursday) with the nutritionist and then 2 weeks later I get to see the surgeon and talk about a fill. He wants me on solid foods before getting a fill.


So I am now down 21.5 pounds. I can't believe it! I know I'm eating less calories and I should be losing but 21.5 pounds in 20 days just seems crazy! I still can't believe I'm banded half the time. I think that's why it gets harder to stick tothe post op diet, I don't feel any different most of the time. There are times I think I can feel the band and I can definitely see and feel my port but I still forget about the band.


I'm feeling great. My pre-op jeans are too big. Good thing I have 10 sizes of jeans! I started as a size 20 in jeans. I'm now in an 18! I have sizes 6-22 in my closet. The 6s and 8s aren't mine, they're Shannon's but they're still available for when I get there. I'm not trying to be a 6 but an 8 or a 10 would be fantastic!!

  1. Great work! I hope the hungries go away for you. I too am just amazed that I have actually lost almost a pound a day. It's all worth it in the end.

  3. My mom is a little farther ahead than you and she has to try really hard to eat normal portions. She had 3 weeks of a post op liquid diet, but now is on to regular foods and has gained 5 pounds back, so she is at a total of 15 pounds lost (was 20). Until you guys get some restriction this is just going to be difficult!! GOOD LUCK! Joey and I will be joining you in Bandland in a week!!
