4 week follow up and 1st fill

I had my four week follow up visit today... I am down a total of 25 lbs since I began seeing my doctor. I'm down 12 lbs since surgery. :thumbup:I know that's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.:drool: I noticed a few days ago that I wasn't feeling as much restriction as I should.... told my doctor and today he gave me 1 cc in my band... I'm hoping to feel a little more restriction now. I feel a little better and hope the weight will start coming off a little faster now. :wink2: I just ha

Am i eating too much????

********************************************************************** I posted this as a thread, but I really want to post as a blog too. I am hoping that I'll get some responses!!! ********************************************************************** okay guys, I am one week out of surgery as of today! I had my post op appt. yesterday and I've lost 13 lbs since my pre op. My question is this: my doctor allowed me to move up to soft foods yesterday as tolerated. So, this morning for break

Post-Op Follow Up Appointment News

I just got back from my doctor and good news!!! :biggrin:I've lost 13 pounds since my pre-op appointment. And that means 9 pounds since my surgery last Wednesday!!! YAY! AND, I can move up to mushy foods... and if I can tolerate that, then I can eat regular foods... just dime sized and CHEW CHEW CHEW!!! :w00t: I am so excited. :mad: On the way home, I stopped by Wally World and bought some watermelon and cottage cheese!!! And, Jello Mousse (as recommended by Chey, my Band Sister!) :thumbup

Day ONE POST-OP!!!

i am feeling pretty good. yesterday was a roller coaster ride, but i made it.My surgery was delayed because the person in front of me had major complications... i was scheduled for surgery at 9 a.m.,but didn't have it until 6. BUT, i was out and alert by 7:20. I am sore, but right now, I can handle this. It isn't as bad as my gallbladder surgery was 10 years ago. AND, my hubby has been very supportive! So, as of right now... I am so happy that I made this decision. WHOOP WHOOP!!!! Best he

Today is the DAY!!!

Alright people!!! In 15 minutes I am leaving this house and headed to the hospital. I am so excited!!! But, the bad news. I threw up this morning. Maybe it's my nerves... but I am scared that I'll have food too high up... I know, I'm probably over analyzing... but still... I ate at around 11:30 last night *couldn't eat after midnight*, and I felt fine all night... even slept!!! BUT, this morning, I just bowed to the porcelain throne. NOT GOOD. But, I am doing this anyway. Wish me luck...

One More Day....

I am super stoked!!! I have ONE more day before my surgery... and I slept til noon, so it's really like a half-day!!! (that was part of my evil plan) I am going on a cruise with my husband in March and am already trying to imagine how much weight I will have lost by then... I KNOW that no matter what, I will feel better... and that's the real important thing! I can't wait to see how people that only see me occasionally will react to me. Let me just re-state: I AM SUPER STOKED!!! I am waitin

preparing for the week!

Today, I met my friend, Julie halfway between our houses (we live 40 miles apart), so that my daughter could go and hang out with her girls for a few days... this will also allow me not to have to worry about one less child this Wednesday. :tt2: On the way back home, while I was waiting in the CVS drive thru lane, my son got really quiet... that is unusual for him. I looked over and he had a tear rolling down his cheek. I asked him what he was crying for. His reply kind of shocked me. We have

Three More Days!!!

I can NOT believe there is only 3 more days til my surgery. I have waited and worked for this for soooo long. I mean, not as long as I've been overweight... of course! But still, a LONG time!!! I have to go out today and buy some unflavored protein powder to make sure I'm getting enough protein because I've heard horror stories about losing hair and stuff.... PLUS, the extra protein will help with the weight loss. I KNOW that I can do this. But there is a tiny voice in the back of my head that

beginning my journey to a healthier ME!!!

I am 38 years old and the mother of three children... they are 17, 12, and 9. Two boys and a girl... I am ready to get this weight off. I am ready to get off this blood pressure medicine. I have been overweight my entire life. I never remember 'fitting' in body-size wise with other people my age. My family has a history of obesity and of course all the goodies that go along with obesity. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other wonderful things when 'get' when we are overwe
