I've Been Banded!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oct. 5, 2007

Well,

I was banded on Oct. 5, 2007 by Dr. Ponce in Dalton, Ga. :clap2: It has been a little over one week since my surgery.

The first week was hard :sick. I was hungry and weak :whoo:.

I was getting in my calories but not enough sugar so I had a rough week :faint:. I'm back at work now. I went for my one week follow up just six days after my surgery and I had lost 10 pounds already!!!! :clap2:

I couldn't believe it. I've done great at sticking to the proper lap band diet they put you on just after being banded. It has not been easy, but I made the commitment before surgery to follow the rules and that's what I plan to do. I know with the help of LapBand Talk I can do it! I'm looking forward to my 4 week followup to see how much weight I have lost by then. I'll keep it posted! I can't wait for some solid food :hungry:!
