7 weeks out!!

May 04, 2009

Well it's been 7 weeks since my lap band surgery. I can't believe how fast time is flying. As of today I am down 20 lbs from surgery. I keep feeling like it should be more but all the professional I speak to tell me that this is fine. I saw the nutritionist at St. Claire's today. She was great. She said I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing just have to add calcium supplements which I'm not looking forward to but I will do nonetheless. My biggest challenge these days is the desire to eat due to emotional stuff. I eat my set meals and I truly am satisfied. I am not physically hungry at all except on rare occasions when I can't eat a meal at the time I had scheduled it to be. But there are many times throughout the day where man I just want to go and eat and binge and go to town. I haven't done anything like that but the thought is definitely there. I picked here and there at things that I really shouldn't be eating but I'm working hard this week to stop that. For I know that will only lead to a path of no good. So here I am hanging in there still trying to get used to this thing around my stomach and use it to the best of my ability so I can be successful on this journey.

Until next time ...
