blogentry-331121-13814445064861.jpgHi! My name is Brittney and i'm a 25 year old mommy to one beautiful 2 year old boy named Jackson. I was banded on 3-23-12 and I figured I would keep a little blog about my struggles and successes!

 

 

 

Today was my first day back at work since my surgery and it's been surprisingly really good. I have stuck with my doctor's diet to a 'T' but I can feel my body getting more hungry and it actually makes my stomach growl. Even though I would love to eat everything in the cafe downstairs, I haven't. I'm still sticking to my liquids and sugar free stuff.

 

I have my first post surgery dr's appt on Wednesday and i'm really looking forward to visiting with my surgeon and seeing what he has to say and the direction we're moving in. I'm really excited about my new lifestyle and it's hard already but this is the best i've ever done with a new "lifestyle change" and I plan to stick to this as best as I can! But I can't lie, i'm really looking forward to having solid foods soon :)

    Congratulations to you! I have my surgery on April 18th and I am starting to worry. It is nice to know your feeling well and did well returning to work. That was one of my many concerns. Good job on stcking to the diet because I know it can be a challenge when you have access to a cafe lol.

    Congratulation!!!!! I was banded on 03/28/12 and yesterday was my first day back to work. It went great as well. It is great that you have been able to stick to the liquids and SF diet... It is getting so hard for me I am so tired of liquids lol...but I am sticking to them. I find it a lot easier when I am not around food or people eating, so I can imagine you struggle with the cafe so close... But you can do it and good luck in the future!!!!!!!
