About Me

Hello to all my friends and family.I had the Lapband May 25, 2011 and it has been one of the best choices I have ever made. I started this blog and it has been very therapeutic for me. I decided that I would share my thoughts on being banded and let you see my progress throughout this journey. Feel free to comment and let me know you stopped by. Thanks for looking.

June 1st Soft foods

My weight today is 260! Its exciting because I am on my way to the 250's and I haven't been there consistantly since the late 90's. My weight has mainly been in the 260's and 270's for the last 10 years.

I started soft foods today. I mentally had in my mind what I wanted to eat and was pretty excited about it. I questioned why I had such excitement about food. Then I pulled back because I realized that my mind was still in addiction mode. My excitement turned into ambivolence because I DO NOT want to get hung up on the joy of eating fattening foods that will pile the weight back on. Retraining the mind is diffcult but I am willing to work on it. People overcome addictions everyday. I plan to go to my first bariatric support group tomorrow night to get more insight.

 I have taken it easy with my food choices. My goal is to pile on the protein and so far I have been successful. I've eatten some yougurt, 1egg, and pureed corn chowder soup today.I have consumed 27 gram of protein so far. I need about 23 more grams. Will I get it today? I doubt it. I am very happy that I am taking my time and eating slow. I have been getting full and stayings satisfied for about 3-4 hours at time. I am consuming about 3 ounces of food at one setting.  I am so grateful for the lapband!
