first Post-Op appointment

I had my surgery on Oct 19, and went back to see my surgeon today. I have to say I was pretty excited to step on the scale, probably for the first time in my life.

Day of surgery I weighed 266....today I weighed 252...the day I started this journey on July 1, I was 277. So....I have lost 25 lbs??!!! OMG - but where? I look in the mirror and I see me, the very same me that has been staring back at me all of my life. Yes, my clothes look baggier, and yes I have people telling me over and over how great I look, but I want to see it too! I want to feel lighter. I want to feel "normal" whatever that is! LOL

Way to go! You have lost a bit more than I have. I was banded on August 18th 2009. To date I have lost 20 pounds. You are doing a great job. Isn't it amazing how the weight comes off? Mine has slowed down. Waiting for my second band fill in November! Best of luck to ya!

It always takes the head longer than the body to get there. I started feeling it myself as I reached about 35-40 lbs. You're doing great! -BG
