Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Ken, I am impressed. I am also at my 10th day....you must have been the guy I gave the gas x . I think I have lost around 20 lbs according to my friends scale. Keep up the good work. How is your wife doing. The first few day I kept having dreams I was at a banquet and gorging myself with food. How funny we are dreaming about food. Dee In a message dated 6/20/2006 3:49:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, piensky2001@... writes: I have to admit that the clear liquid stage is difficult. I have not had any hunger pain but the mental part of being around food and not being able to eat anything has been the hard part. I was rewarded today with my fist time on the scale. The day of surgery I was 360 today 338! Loosing 22 poounds so quickly gives a renewed drive to make it through this stage with-out cheating. I actually had a dream the night before last, that I was hired as an expert food taste tester for a new trendy resteraunt that was to open here in Phoenix. The highly touted chef hired me because all his employees were afraid to give an honest opinion of new dishes he came up with. I was actually to recieves some bonus (a can't remember what it was)for every 65 meals I tried. Its so funny to me, I have never had a dream about food before. I guess its my mind trying to get its food fix. Thoughs of you that also had surgery recently stick with it, dont cheat, do a little walking, and the weight will come of.Thanks for everyone continuing support and good luck to all future bandsters you be glad you did it.Ken Quote
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Awesomw news on your loss. I was banded on June 16. I havent weighed myself yet. I am scared that the scales avent changed. I will wait 2 weeks. On the food issues, I agree 100 percent. Watching everone around me and commercials on tv are killer. I actually change te channel when these commercials come on. I told my kids, who came in my room last night with 3 krispy creams, one for each of us , to get out that they were making me sick. This takes alot of will power. I know we all can do it...Keep up the hard work ---- piensky2001 <piensky2001@...> wrote: > I have to admit that the clear liquid stage is difficult.
