My journey on becoming and being a bandster. (Having the lapband procedure.) Hopefully it will not only help me in my journey and in reflection, but others that are considering lapband as a viable option for weightloss.

Saturday
Saturday went like this:
Get up at 5am to get my husband out the door for a flight.
Attempt to go back to sleep, which was a complete failure.
Think about how I'd like to go to camp, but need to take the day off because I can't be trusted to take it easy enough with my race tomorrow.
Start wondering what the weather is really going to be like...changes every 15 mins here.
Review and finalize my race play list.
Check weather. Hmmm, warm - race start at 71?!
Charge devices.
Select final oufit - version 1.
Check weather. Warm, windy, and potentially storms.
Run and get rain poncho. Add to outfit - version 2.
Starting to freak out about weather. Delayed reaction I guess. The wind is looking like it could be 20 mph. Good grief.
At the moment, my hair is kinda long, but not long enough for a ponytail. Rain is going to have it hanging in my face, so I decide I need a visor. Run to athletic store. SCORE! Clearance one. Add to outfit - version 3.
Nails look kinda raggedy. Run to store again to get these:
Check weather...o.m.g.
Do nails.
Decide that I am going to have to suck it up and wear shorts. Change outfit - version 4.
Because of the bean incident, make some homemade chili.
There might have been a small one of these:
Weather, repeat. Weather, repeat. You get the drift, but I want that dang medal!
What happens? Tune back in to my next post....cause I need more time to write it up!
Eat only small meals (four to six ounces = 1/2 to 3/4 cup)
Cut food into small, dime-size bites. Eat only one bite at a time. Chew thoroughly and swallow carefully.
Stop eating as soon as you feel full. Just because you can eat more, doesn't mean you should!
Do not drink while eating.
Eat only quality, nutritious foods. Remember protein first!
Avoid white, starchy foods and fibrous foods with stalks
Drink plenty of fluids during the day (eight 8oz glasses) unless contraindicated due to a medical condition
Drink only low-calorie liquids
Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, unless contraindicated due to a medical condition
Call your surgeon, nurse practitioner, or provider if you have any problems, questions, concerns, vomiting, or are unable to keep down liquids.
These are general guidelines, but each patient is unique. Speak with your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have questions or are struggling with any of these guidelines.
