Wow restriction is an amazing feeling!!! That extreme snacking of the last week is fading thought now. I am uber tight this morning. It has taken me forever to try and finish this one cup of coffee. I have also learned my big gulps of it are not a good thing. Slow and steady wins the race right? I have been at it for an hour and I am only half done. This is deffinatly going to take some readjusting to. Next on the menu is a yummy Mocha Latte shake :) Glad others seem to like it too. Carmen excited me when I read a comment and she was drinking one too. I feel like I found a rare jewel and love sharing that with others :D If ya hate that nasty protein shake taste and willing to try something new you should! You really may find a new treat lol
I think while I was getting the band adjusted yesterday I got a small brain adjustment too. I am going to stay at this being positive thing as much as possible. I am really starting to learn that I have to find what is right for me. And part of me is acceptng the fact I have pogo weight lol Everyday my weight will bounce up then back down and repeat. What matters is I really am on a downward spiral with my weight. Even if I pop back up to 299 yesterday today I am 296 so not to bad :) Whos to say what tomorrow shall bring...I am guessing down since im nursing this cup of coffee so freakin long. But if its up again who cares! I am doing good and I know I am :D BELIEVE!! (I have a green wooden plaque right under my screen that says believe and it is bright green LOVE IT my new motto ;))
Wow, you are doing amazingly well!! Thanks for the nice comments on my blog... good luck and hope this is the sweet spot for you... Vanessa
ReplyDeletePositive thoughs are the best! This is working. For some reason the band makes our weight bounce up and down like we are on a po-go stick. BUT...it's po-go'ing downward slope so it's OK! lol
ReplyDelete:-) sending good vibes your way! (i'm making the sound from "Wayne's World")
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are getting some positive thoughts. I feel your pain, although I had to resort to a couple of glasses of wine to loosen up. My left shoulder is aching. I can only get fluids down right now although I told DH to bring home pizza-hilarious since I KNOW I will not be able to eat it. I figured maybe the smell would get me through the night. I do hope this stays so I lose weight but am also thinking that slow and steady wins the race. So glad you are getting some restriction. It is really a new experience we are having. But we will get there. Believe is my word for the year too. I do believe I will do it this time and so will you. Doesn't matter if it is 100 pounds or 50 pounds to lose. It is still hard to do. Thanks to the band it will help. Have a happy Friday night! Sipping your drink.
ReplyDeleteYay!! I am glad your fill went well and you are on the positive track!
ReplyDeleteI just read your comments on my blog - and read it out loud to my hubby! Made my day knowing I can help make your day! You're the cutest little thing ever...and I say little cuz you're a shrinking girl now! Smooches!
ReplyDeleteOne of the main reasons I chose the lap band over another type of WLS was the fact that it could be "recharged" through fills. I knew that my motivation was bound to wane, but if I could get a fill, I knew that would get me going in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a great attitude going. Being happy in the moment is the best way to live.
ReplyDeletehaha...Pogo weight!!! LOL! Isn't it true?? I can't believe you're having such a hard time with coffee! I hope you're not too tight, girl!! And yes, think positive...you're going to really DO it this time!!
