6-30-07

Well i just had the lap band done 6-28-07. Im still in some pain, Well i wouldnt call it pain just burning. My lungs are still sore. My mom says its from the gases.Ive very excited that I made this FDA study for the lap band for teens 14-17. I was so scared at the surgery center the day of the surgery. But when i woke up and i had to slip water, I only had 4 slips and it felt like i eat 2 bigmacs. I start the second phase of the diet, full liquids. My mom bought me diet low carb slim fast. I cant wait till i lose this weight. I started out 245lbs before surgery, Then the diet i was on before it to make my liver smaller i lost weight and i was down to 234, And since i had the surgery i am 231. Everyone has said that my stomach has went down some. I just cant wait till i can have food again. But most of all I cant wait to be down to my goal weight 130.

You are on your way, just don't get discouraged.
