22 Days Post Op

Ask me a year ago if I would be where I am now and I would have to say no. I've spent over 15 years of my life gaining weight every year. I don't know what it is to end a year lighter than the year before, it's like I'm in competition with myself.

 

Here I am 22 days post op and I feel GREAT!! I find that I keep my excitement quieted down because I don't want to be one of the annoying people who are always talking about how much weight they've lost around people who just gained 5 pounds. I'm very proud of it and people can see the loss, so for now I'm keeping my cool, we'll see how long that lasts. :tongue:

 

My highest weight was 292, day of surgery I was 266 and now I'm at 251 and it's ridiculous how loose my cloths fit me. Gonna have to start sewing because I'm not getting a new wardrobe until I hit my goal weight. Again, we'll see how long that lasts also. :thumbup:

 

76 pounds to go until I reach my first goal of 175 and I won't miss one single pound when it's gone!

You sound so happy & isn't that the best feeling. I'm glad you reminded me about annoying weight losers. I'm turning into one of those people. I keep texting my close friends with my weight loss. It might not count because they are all at least 100 lbs. thinner than me...maybe I'll send only every other week:-) Congrats your doing Great!

Hi Marisol,

I was just banded 2 days ago and I feel totally exhausted. How long does it take to recover and get back to "normal"?
