Twelve weeks post op

Well, I'm about 12 weeks post-op and I've lost almost 39 pounds so I guess I'm doing pretty well. I had my first fill last week and feel a little more restriction but can still eat more than I think I should...so I need to work on my willpower for now!

 

I am exercising about five days a week and that is new for me (treadmill/light strength training). I just started a class at the Y...also a first. It's a latin dance class called "Zumba" and is really fun as everyone is willing to laugh at themselves! I am truly uncoordinated so that's a good thing! One BIG thing is that I am trying to do some jogging--I'm doing a program called C25K--we'll see. In the meantime, I'm signed up for walk/runs that benefit charities.

 

That's all for now!

That is sooo weird. I was banded around the same time is you and i too have lost about 39 lbs and i just started exercising 5 days a week too. My friend next door and i are about to do this thing for lukemia. When i read your post it was like it was me talking lolol. I go for my second fill tomorrow. Im hoping to have more restriction because i can just about eat anything and good size portions too. Cant wait for more restriction!
