I saw a commercial for eDiets.com. So I went to the website, answered some questions. The result, they recommended a Glycemic diet. I will be doing some reading on this and trying it as well. I want to see if it makes a difference and can I fit it into my lifestyle of working ten hours days, coming home late. Meanwhile, I will furnish the link so you can read about on your own

So far so good.....
Okay it has been it's four days. So far so good. I have been sticking to 600-1000 calorie plan. It getting easier to manage. I started using the food diary that was given to me by Dr. Terracina. I keep it in my purse. I was weighed today I am down from 282 to 270. I weighed myself at the gym and I thought it was a fluke. However I went to the doctor's office and there it was.
Also I have found there are some things you can actually eat and keep under the 1000 calorie marker. The one that surprised me was Thai food. I ate the Tum Yum Goong soup (44 cal), the healthy steam rolls (194 cal) and a papaya salad (112 cal) and I was waaay under the marker. I only eat half could so the I saved the rest for dinner.
I did make a some boo boos however. One was hibachi grill lunch, OMG !!!! I didn't realize how high in calories that was. The other was the Starbuck's Frappucino light, NOT it was 310 calories. I did drink the diet coke. Which is a big no no in the WLS world.
Which brings me to my next point. I wanted to find drinks and sweetness that did not have aspartame. I did some web searches and found one. Crystal light now has new line of products called "fitness." The fitness mix DOES NOT have aspartame. So I quickly bought 3 boxes of it. It was different, it does have a slight after taste but not as bad as aspartame.
I also wanted to stop using sugar in my coffee and tea and also not be tempted to get ANY more diet soda. I also picked up these new bottled drinks as well. So what I did was purchased the stevia and truvia sweetener packets. I was thoroughly impressed with both of them. On Sunday I will be showing those product in my weekly video, so stay tuned!!!!
As you can see I have changed the look of the blog. I like it, but I did lose my "followers" function with the new template. So for those that I beat over the head to follow the blog I apologize whole heartedly. So to remedy that I would appreciate comments when you visit. That way I know SOMEONE OUT THERE IS READING THIS!!! I didn't want to crowd the blog to much stuff. Although, I did add some widgets and gadgets to the blog such as the Amazon widget and the blogroll to name a few of the additions.
WELL THAT IS IT FOR NOW !!!!!!!!

Calories
I started Saturday on reducing the calories in my diet. I am really trying to keep it simple. I know if I complicate matters I will get discouraged. I am attempting to keep my calories limited to 600-1000. Saturday I went over I was so mad. On Saturday I took in 1089 calories and Sunday I took in 960 calories. Now, I have been keeping a food log I put it in my purse. That does help but I really want to stress keeping it simple.
It is simply amazing to watch what you put in your mouth without a second thought. I had to plan out every move I made. I have to learn to step back and don't be rushed into anything. Like yesterday, we went to Starbucks. Now Starbucks has a of making a frappucino where you can consume less calories. What did I do, make the worst possible choice and it cost me 320 calories. So that meant I would have to eat less to for that 1000 calorie goal for today. Haven't started exercising yet. One thing I can say though is it felt great no to vomit for once.
I know that was gross, but the Lap band and Gastic Bypass folks know what I am talking about.
Signing off good nite.

Hello, My Name is Sharon and I Have Fallen Off the Wagon!!!!
Hello,
My name is Sharon. I had the Lap Band Surgery January 14, 2010. I have lost 13 pounds so far. I know a measly 13 pounds. I have officially fallen off the wagon, if you will. I didn't want to tell people I got the surgery because I am such a poor reflection of it. So I am going to do something sooo new.
This is what I am going to do. For the next two years I will document my weight loss on this blog. I know this is very ambitious. Maybe I am having a delusion of grandeur moment. All I know is I will give it the old college try. I want to help myself of course. I also want to help other who have fallen like me to pick ourselves up and be successful.
WELCOME TO MY JOURNEY!!!! FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK!!!!!!!
