Sooo i guess since this is my first one i should tell you a little about me.. im 22 and i just graduated from college. and i must say i have great friends and family. i have been banded for 4 days now and its tough because IM HUNGRY lol. but its ok im getting through it. it was a long long process as im sure it was for everyone. soo ill start from the getgo.. ive been overweight since i can remember ..at first it was just 10 15 pounds. like at 9 or 10 i remember being weighed in front of all the kids they weighed about 80 and i weight about 95. At this point i was chunky but it just increased through the years. it got really bad in college. i had gained about 60 pounds in college. and was the worst when iwas with my ex who is about 5'10 and 350lbs.. he ate which of course allowed me to eat more..
soo i decided to get this surgery after trying and trying. i was sick of being 22 and having my joints hurt already and not being able to shop where all my friends shopped.. also i wanna have kids in the next like 5 years and i dont want them to pick up the bad habits i had and i knew this would help me form good habits.
soo my highest weight was 296 and im 5'9 before surgery i had dropped down to 275 .. great feeling but i didnt see or feel a difference. soo far its 4 days post op and im 268. im happy its coming off but its really hard. i have bad cravings. no joke i dreamed i ate a cheeseburger ( i dont even like cheeseburgers that much lol ).. and i have bad hunger pains but i drink a lot and try to get them to go away through that. oh and i find tea helps! WONDERFUL!. i wanna get down to about 160 eventually i think for my height that would be ideal for me. and thats my long term goal. for now im praying for 20 pounds a month maybe not too realistic but i can pray and work my ass off to make it happen.
soo i guess thats it.. i cant wait for these 2 weeks to end so i can start incorporating real food into my diet! but till then...
