Hi Everyone (Anyone?),

Please bear with me as this is my first blog ever..... I hope I dont bore everyone to tears.

I am 29 days into my post-op lapband surgery and all is going well. Too well. I have had one fill of 2mls, which brings me to a total of 4mls, and have not experienced what I think to be 'restriction'. I notice that at meal times I cannot eat as much as I usually would, but I still get hungry between meals. Hopefully my next fill (12 days from now) will get me in line.

Apart from that, I have lost 13.5kg (29lb) including the pre-op diet. I am excited that I have dropped weight quickly, I am now back to the weight that I was after I had my 2nd child. It's funny, before the lapband, the only time i lost any substantial amount of weight was when I was pregnant.....go figure.

I am now at the stage where my clothes are getting too big, but I dont want to buy new clothes until the season changes. My friend (fellow lapbander) has given me some clothes, but I need to lose a fair bit more weight before they will fit me. We really should start a clothing swap-meet.

Anyway, I think that is enough from me tonight. My very fit and buff other half has just made me a cup of tea. How strange it is that a gym-junkie (him) and a blob-master (me) have ended up together????

Have a good night all.....
