Day 8

May 21, 2010

So I feel a hundred miles away from 8 days ago.  On day 6 I started on my full liquids.  I got to have my decaf coffee with skim milk - the best coffe I ever had..........lol  For Breakfast I had an Atkins Chocolate meal replacement - delicious and filling.  For lunch I strained the bits out of cream of tomato with red pepper - so good!  And for dinner strained cream of chicken - it was okay.  Fill the hole and that's about all I can say about that.  Still sipping all day long.

Day 7 I removed my steri strips as directed by the clinic.  Cleaned all the adhesive off with rubbing alchol - worked like a charm.  Made some SF Jello White Chocolate pudding with a scoop of protein powder in it.  Had some at 3 pm and wasn't hungry for my soup till about 7..........lol.  Started having regular morning BM's - not lots - but then I'm not eating a lot either.

Today is day 8 and my official weekly weigh-in day (although I have been jumping on the scale every morning...lol).  I am down 7.5lbs.  I know a lot of it is most likely water weight and that won't  be typical but it sure gave me a boost.  Hey - maybe this is really going to work............lol.

I have also been in touch with a fellow on another board (Slim Band - where I got banded) who also is newly banded.  He is from my home town and is looking to start a coffe club of members to sit and support each other in a casual way.  I believe that when you are on the right path, things fall into place easily for you.  This fellow told me that the Dr. who will be doing my fills here is his also and the Dr. actually has a twice weekly clinic in my town..........unbelievable!  That's not all - then he tells me that he is going ahead with our support group and it will be held at the church where he is studying to be a minister.  The church is also in my town and literally around the corner from my home.

I am feeling like I'm right where I'm supposed to be and that is the greatest feeling in the world and I wish that for each and every one else.  Peace.
