Post-OP days 6-8

Well so far so good, nothing new to report! Just transitioned over from clear liquids to thick liquids on Fri, which means I can have a little cream of ? soup thats been put through a strainer. and milk. I did learn one valuable lesson though! Don't drink milk for the first time in weeks and then run out the door for errands! Had to do a bathroom tour of east Knoxville and it was not always pretty! I am down 20.4 pounds (7 was pre-op) and very happy, trying to meet a mini-goal of 37 more by the end of Sept for my wedding. Not so much a vanity thing, but a physical thing. My Fiance and I are going on a 10day tour of Europe and I want to be able to keep up with him! When deciding to get my band this far into it I actually questioned wheter I should do it now, or wait til after the honeymoon so I could sample all the worldly food they had to offer. I decided I would rather be able to walk thru Paris than eat thru it, so I went ahead and had it done... I think I made the right choice!!!

Keep up the good work!!!! Doin great!
