Well this morning I had my first post op visit to the doctors, and it went well... They weighed me, and coming in at 270.2 from starting of 292.5 Ive lost a total of 22lbs since the beginning of my journey with the lap band!

 

My incision sites were looked at, and i was asked how I was feeling and then I was off... Nothing dramatic just a check up.

 

My consultant Angela gave me my official "Lap Band" packet of paper work, that allows me to fill out some info and receive a business sizes card that has my surgery info on it, so in the future when I eat out at a restaurant or something I can be served smaller portions or choose children's portions... I thought that was pretty cool!

 

All in all Im feeling great! Ive still got some lingering upper back and shoulder pain, and some mild chest discomfort that the Doc said is esophageal pressure and will eventually subside...(I hope so, its very uncomfortable)

 

Had another two BM this morning, and released a ton more gas, which I think is a huge factor in my feeling better today!

 

I am actually feeling slightly hungry today, Nothing like before being banded, but I can feel the slight hunger. Being that Im still on solids, I cant do much about it, other than complain when my husbands in the kitchen making something that smells wonderful!

 

So again today I will attempt the Jello for the third or fourth time now, and see how that goes... Ill keep you posted there!

 

Off for another snooze.... Fall semester starts in two days and Ive got to get all rested and feeling 101% for that, so im off till a new and exciting update occurs!!!!

Very Good Dr.s Visit. I started at 272.6 So I was right where you are a year ago. Lost 91 lbs so far, but want a little more, it gets slower at the tail end. Hunger will subside after the first month, you body and stomach and head hunger will work with you soon. God Bless!

Hi I started 4 Jan 10 at 270 (123.1 kg). Now, 7 mos out, 229. Loss of 42 #s. Your off to a fantastic start. My pains did not go away until the 8th day. I weight myself daily and today I weight 103.9 kg. I reside in South Korea-where they use kg vs actual #s. Conversion by 2.2 for me to get weight. Figured my goal wt out: 77kg and my plan to reach it is 4 Jan 2011, my band anniversary date. Good luck on your journey and hope it is as fantastic as mine is. So sit back and enjoy the ride as a fellow bandster.
