I have two bandster buddies who are getting banded May 24 (the day before me). I'm so excited to share this experience with them across the miles.

Check them out and give them support and virtual hugs!

Okay, Day 4 of liquid diet. Truthfully, it is getting easier. I think a lot of my eating was habitual.
I'm going to ask my doc to take a picture of my liver when he does surgery and it better look darn tiny and cute for all of this work!

Today I'm going to share a list we did at our preop class. We had to list 10 things to do besides EAT. :) "Eating while happy, sad, frustrated, bored can cause excess calorie intake and prevent weight loss. Here are 10 things I can do to combat these feelings and help achieve my weight loss goals." Then is has the hotline numbers for the two dietitians in the practice.

I could come up with more than 10 and my dh added his own to the list. :)

1. blog (that can kill a lot of time)

2. read

3. walk

4. exercise

5. Games with family

6. movie

7. play with dog (see pic above)

8. stamp

9. call a friend

10. sleep

11. bubble bath

I have added a picture of my PERFECT (not) dog above. She is a soft coated wheaten and VERY spoiled.

Happy Hump Day!
