It was so worth it! Happy Happy happy!

Today I am 9 days post-op! What a difference a week makes!

 

Feeling very good...still a little sore but that is to be expected. And for thos of you who don't know I also had a hiatal hernia fixed while I was there. hence, the soreness!

 

Starting to feel a bit hungry every now & ten...but is definitely not the raging beast kind of hunger. I drink a 4oz serving of liquid protein and all is good.

 

Chewing on my vitamins is like heaven though. You never realize how satisfying chewing is until you haven't chewed anything in over 2 weeks!

 

I definitely have my eye on the prize and have told myself that this is my new lifestyle and no cheating...besides can't imagine going through all that pain & cheating!

 

I am down 19 pounds still and every time I step on that scale I am ecstatic. I am now officially 215.

 

My goal is to be under 200 by Christmas! The best present I could give myself.

 

For all of you who are on liquid diets it is so worth it. And so is the post-op pain it is all worth it, the moment you step on that scale and you realize you are losing WEIGHT!

    Conratulations honey! You are so right! I am 11 days post-op just started puree foods. The sight is horrible but if felt good to eat something other than broth, popsicles etc. Crockpot is great! Makes all meats easy to mush up & digest. I questioned myself as to whether I made the right decision getting the Band but when I stepped on the scale & realized I was 20lbs down already...there was no doubt in my mind. Keep up the good work.

    I am 3 months post banding and have stopped losing weight. I have had several fills and am definately having to restrict what I eat. Can I plateau?
