New life....

Dec 15, 2009

Two weeks ago (tomorrow) I had my lap band procedure.  I'm so excited.  My doctor (Joe Cribbins) put me on a low fat/no fat/no meat diet for 2 weeks before my surgery.  3 days after surgery, I was put on clear liquids.  Now, I'm on stage 3 - full liquids.  If I can put it in a blender and it's liquidy, then I can eat it.  I've found that I still love and can tolerate mashed potatoes and refried beans - yeah! 

I find out tomorrow how much weight I've lost, but according to my scale it's close to 20 lbs, including my pre-op diet regiment.

I am beginning to look at food differently and evaluate exactly why I'm eating.  Am I really hungry or reacting to a situation?  It's going to be difficult to break the cycle, but I'm confident that i can do this!
