So I am 37 days out from lap band and am two day from my first fill. Next time I do a fill in the day I am going to make sure I eat something 3 1\/2 hours before the actual fill. Next time will be hard, as I as scheduled for first in the day. But in a way, it might be easier.<\/p>\n
I don’t notice any changes from the fill yet, but I am still on munshies. Which I just spelled as munchies which probably describes mushies for me. They are higher in carb than my normal food, which makes it hard for me.<\/p>\n
My diabetes remains the same, though I’ll say my over all blood sugar level is lower — probably will go up a tad with the mushies, but back down. I’m having trouble with the arthitis again lately which means my activity level goes down.<\/p>\n
I’m getting mentally ready for my trip — I’m going to concentrate on getting high quality meals on the trip and not do the fast food thing. <\/p>\n
I probably won’t know how the fill is until later on in the week. <\/p>\n
I do have a bit of a NSV (non scale victory). I finally decided to go through my clothing — I’ve purchased a few items on clearance from plus size stores, and I have a good selection of skirts I can wear. That’s one thing I wanted to make sure of.<\/p>\n
It’s a real issue. The largest size I have arond the house literally fall off of me, and they have been put aside. I’ m weraing the next smallest size, and can even wear a pair of jeans in that size — have them on now — jeans have been a huge problem, as I carry most of my weight in my midsection. The size below what I am wearing now, I can wear if it is a stretch demin skirt, but I try not to , as I know I look heavier in them. I did find some things I can wear in this size that was stashed in the back of my closet so that means I have more clothing than I though.<\/p>\n
Right now, I keep a bag to hold clothing both upstairs and down and if I find something that falls off of me, or it is the current size and I know I won’t wear it, I put the item in the bag. I figure when I fill a bag up, I’ll take them down the road to Salvation Army. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
