Bandster's Hell and no Weight Loss

Jun 03, 2009

Well, I finally reached bandster's hell.  Last Thursday, June 28th was my first day on mushies and my last day to lose any weight.  With pre op and liquid stage I have lost 27 lbs, so I'm really not complaining.  Just can't believe that I can eat so few calories 7500 to 850 a day and not lose any weight. 

But to be truthful, I am finding it hard to strictly follow the mushies diet.  There is no way I can survive on 2 oz of mushies 5 to 6 times a day of oatmeal, grits, eggs, yogurt, pudding and soup.  So I have had chicken salad a few times, mashed potatoes a few times and today I really did bad and had a subway sandwich.  I have no restriction whatsoever.  I can eat anything I want.  The bad part is that I don't know what this is doing to my pouch and I still cannot control myself.  Basically, I am really 95% of the time eating only what is on the list, but there are times when I just have no will power.  Therefore, I got the band....well I guess I need some restriction so I'll have that forced will power. 

I so hope this was the right surgery for me to have.  I do not want to be one of those people who get the band and then do not lose any weight.  To think I would have gone through all this for nothing.  But, I could not diet like this on my own before, so obviously I've got to have some restriction for the band to help me. 

Oh Gosh....just please let June 24th get here so I can have my first fill!!!!!!
