Just thought that I would update everybody on my progress. I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow and I am down 24 lbs! Not too bad, I'll take it!
So far, I have had a wonderful post op experience. I have not dumped on any foods yet - I seem to be tolerating everything (excep****er) relatively well. I have had no surgical complications to date and keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way....
Protein and food is a bit tricky for me though. For starters, I am having a big problem getting in even 60 grams of protein.... but I'm working on finding something that I can drink that doesn't make me gag.
Food on the other hand...is becoming too much of a chore. I am sick of tuna, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.... It's the same old food day after day after day...
I just want a sandwich or a salad or something normal for crying out loud!!!!!!!!
How do you handle (or how did you handle) getting out of the food rut???? It is really depressing to me...
Any suggestions...

I tried them and I got bored really fast. I tried the treadmill and got bored, I tried the cycling session, and I got bored, all you do is pedal but don't go anywhere. I tried the aqua aerobics and fell in love with it.
I used to go whenever I had the chance, but the week before last I went 5x and worked out for an hour during each session. It's a lot of fun and contrary to popular belief, it's hard and you do sweat. You burn 400 calories doing the aqua aerobics and work your abdomen even if you don't mean to.
I wasn't able to go last week because of my conflicting schedule, but I plan to get back on track tomorrow and throughout the week. |

Just fyi, my friends and I are coming in Friday night, so if anyone else is doing so, and wants to get some decaf or something, let me know! That way if getting together during the lunch doesn't work, at least we'll have this. :)
I can't wait to meet everyone!

How did you make out with Dr. G.? Are you going to have him do your lap band? Also, have you gone to New Beginnings yet?
Let me know all the detail. I made a new appointment with Dr. G for 10/28. You will be well on your way by then.
Good Luck,
Trish |

I checked the schedule and there are no big breaks until the lunch break. What about all the "Jersey" people planning to meet someplace at the beginning of the lunch break. - The main lobby of the hotel maybe?
Just a thought!

I had (2) hernia repairs with Dr. David Abramson in Englewood, as well as plastics procedures, including my open (vertical) scar revision. I am very happy with what he did for me, and felt his prices were very competitive (I interviewed a total of 5 plastic surgeons, he was the last and, I felt, the most competent). My procedures were in 2005 and 2006, and all is well! julie
