4/17/08 Daily Diet & Exercise Journal

I'm just a temporary stand in, finally got to a computer. Breakfast - 20 grm protein bar; Lunch - Golden corral chicken breast, bourbon chicken, 1/4 cup of ice cream, 1/4 cup bread pudding.  D - chicken leg. No exercise today unless 6 hr drive to Chicago counts. Take care, Z

Oy Vey!  It's been a long day! Richard was banded today and everything went well although his surgery from opening to closing took and hour and forty minutes!  Dr. Larson said he had a little trouble getting the band in place due to where Richard's fat deposits are located (high in the ribcage/upper stomach area).  He even had Dr. Rodriguez come in and assist a bit!  I was beginning to fret after about and hour and fifteen minutes since I had always understood the band placement surgery to take less than an hour.  HE was placed in a room around 4pm and was up and walking the floors around 5:30!  LOL...he was feeling good enough to joke with an aide that was walking down the hall telling her he'd buy her bag of cheetos for 10 bucks! Food wise I was fairly good considering! FOOD B:  StarBECK's skinny cini dulce latte L:   1/2 honey dijon chicken breast with 1/4 cup baked spinach and         2 pieces roasted potatoes D:   Chef Salad with ranch dressing (fork dipping method) I mainly ate the egg,          ham, turkey, cheese off the top with a bit of lettuce S:    Fresh pineapple and grape fruit cup FLUIDS 8oz milk 8oz coffee 20oz water 20oz crystal light

Glad Richard came through surgery ok.  Believe it or not  but I felt the earthquake this morning.  I'm ready to head out shopping with the girls as soon as they arrive.  I'm the early riser.
