My First Blog Ever

Well, I finally decided to document my journey.

I was banded on June 10th.

It was the best decision I have made to help me rid of these awful pounds that have been my stedfast enemy for 15 years!:thumbup:

I am a Nurse and I have always felt awful giving my patients advice when I am so overweight. I believe that my weightloss will allow me to be a better nurse.

I have cheated on my post op diet already because I have had the worst diarrhea along with a yeast infection. I have had toast, bananas, peaches and eggs.

I had my surgery in Mexico and now I need to book my first fill in Kansas City area. I tried one Dr. and his first appt. is in October...I can't wait that long! I left a message with another clinic...fingers crossed.

My incisions are healing well. I have one area where a stitch is poking out , so I will trim it this afternoon. The diarrhea is much better but the yeast is not. (I had this problem when I went on the Atkins diet...something related to the protein. )

My family is so supportive. I really don't want to disappoint them.

    cdnjenn, welcome to blogging. It helps so much get your feelings out into words, and to an empathetic group! I was banded June 4, and I still have an incision that is draining just a tiny bit, but it is aggrevating.

    I hope you find a clinic fast, because our fill is going to be our saving grace!

    Well I found a clinic in Kansas City. First fill. 400 bucks then 250 each fill afterwards.

    I go in June 22nd at noon. I do admit I am pretty excited.

    I have been pretty hungry lately and have been eating some bad stuff...sweets and FF. I have up-ed my exercise to 3 times a week and started some weights this week. I feel great.

    I had my 40th Birthday on the 19th and I really feel that I am going to have an amazing year.

    My incisions have all healed well. My yeast infections are gone. I have way more energy than before and I don't sleep in!!!

    I hope my positive attitude will help me attain good results.

    I am getting ready to start planning our family vacation skiing and I am hoping to be a lot lighter on my skis. Last year my knees really hurt.

    I have had a hard time coming up with good strong burps...just small ones that trickle up and a few good ones. Sometimes they hurt where the band is.

    That is it for now . I will update after the 1st fill.
