Two Weeks Post Band !!

Today is my two week band-iversary, and I must say . . . I feel great!!   The first week was pretty rough, feeling like my stomach muscles had been severed, allergic reactions to the bandages that left my abdomen looking like I'd stuck those bathtub adhesive decals all over it, culminating in a case of hives that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! Guess what, I'm allergic to latex . . . who knew??   Week two, I noticed I could sleep on my stomach, I could get up without assistance, the

Banded 4 Days Ago!!

They are not the ones who have to put together meals, holiday feasts, and Superbowl spreads!! It's just a little frustrating when the hostess with the mostess (me) cooks up everyone's favorites and lays out a virtual smorgasboard of game day goodies, but I can't partake!!

My first blog ever!!

Never done this before, but I can't think of a better reason to start!!   Today was my first day of the pre-op diet, and I have to say . . . I'm starving! I just keep telling myself that it is worth it though. My surgery is scheduled for February 9th, and I can't wait! I've yo-yo dieted my entire life, been thin for a few years at a time, but life always seems to derail me, and I gain it all back eventually. I am currently at my highest weight ever, but I guess the final kicker for m
