Officially two weeks...Nothing has been the same

Hey guys,     well it has been two weeks since my surgery (Dec 7) and I have to say that even though it has only been two weeks it has been quite a journey. I have lost 38 pounds so far!!!!!!!! Its insane because I've never lost that much weight before without giving up but this time is different and I am not giving up. I have been to work so far which makes my days go faster (still on protein shakes will be starting mushies in countdown...2days!!!!) . I know that most of the weight loss is

day 2 post op....

so It has been two days since my born band day and I have to say I am feeling pretty good. now I'm not jumping and doing tons of work like other people make it seem...but I am moving around, being able to get up easier and faster. BUT!!!!! the best thing of all was that I was able to sleep with only waking up once in the night because I could sleep on my side (with some heavy cushions). Now I'm a stomach sleeper, so sleeping on my back was torture thinking about it and that first night oh man...

Officially a Bandster! def a life changing experience!

Well guys, I can officially post in the post-op section!!!!!!! i am beyond happy that I got it done. I got it yesterday 12/7 at 7:45am and was out of the hospital by 4:30pm. I won't lie to you. when I first woke up OMG I was in pain, and not my abdominal area but my shoulders.

I thought before just having the surger

Why can't I stop myself from eating on this pre-op diet??!!!!

I'm more the disappointed in myself than ever before. I honestly thought that I had more self-control. my surgery is dec. 7 and I'm excited yet I can't seem to follow the rules. I drink my shake for breakfast and lunch and come around dinner i'm so tired of being bloated and not satisfied and of not chewing but sipping that I make myself a turkey sandwich. granted is not the worst choice but the fact that i'm on the pre-op diet with specific guidelines makes it a bad choice. I just.....u

what a difference some protein makes....

so, one month before my actual surgery and two weeks before my actual pre-op diet I actually started drinking protein shakes, not to only get used to it, but to make it a habit so by the time the surgery comes it will be second nature.   I drink two shakes a day, one for breakfast and one for lunch, and have a low carb dinner. I also started going to the gym for 30 mins a day to prepare it for whats to come:smile2:   I will say that shakes are so much better than what I was expecting. I dr

So Close, yet so far

It has been a journey to decide to get lap band but when I finally decided oh man did I decide. I got everything done within the first month after my first seminar. I was going crazy because I finished everything but still did not have the insurance approval, and without it, it wasn't real to me that it was happening.   on October 31, 2010 the insurance specialist called me and informed me that I was approved and that my surgery will officially be on Dec. 7. I'm sorry to ramble but reading
