Hi mandy thanks for the add can't wait to share our journey together!

Well missed my two week post op goal of 40lbs by 1.2lbs. Hope to loose 50 by my appointment on the 14th so time to get on the band wagon and stop being so lazy!!

So I kinda took a break from LBT since it was acting up and I was feeling pretty bad about not doing to well on my post op diet. Kinda feeling discouraged and did not want to be negative. Really need to get better at this.

Waiting to hear back from the doctor about a palm size hematoma that has appeared on my port site

Thank God! I have been locked out of LBT all day yesterday! Finally had to email the support board and get my account back

Feels a blog coming on... maybe tomorrow over coffee...

Hi Raven. Hope you are still doing well! Day three was probably the hardest for me so I thought I would send you message and check on you.

Seriously needs to get up and moving this morning. So much to do around the house.

Hope you are doing well! Thinking about you!

Had a seriously busy day. And company over tonight. I hope I have not put too much on my plate for the first busy day.

So bored I know this is a time of healing but I am going stir crazy there is so much that I could be doing around my house. Its hard to restrict myself from doing things.

So exhausted with just the smallest of activities... I hope this improves. Washed dishes and washed my hair now about to pass out!

So its probably not a good thing to have a wreck 4 day post op thankfully it was just a little fender bender a 17 yo backed into us. Just goes right along with the bad day I was already having.

Post op day four just waking up after sleeping 13 hours straight. Not feeling tip top this morning.

Added a few recovering pics with two cute male nurses. Enjoy my swollen black eyes lol.

Really wish they had a personal calander so I could keep up with all of my friends speical dates. If I forget to check on someone and forget to wish them well I am sorry...

Blended maple brown sugar oatmeal extra running... Yummy!!! Good call Dani! I think I ate too much though!

Pain is a little better but this constant pressure feeling under my sternum is starting to be rather annoying... Anyone else feel like there is a band around your stomach or something? ~

Baby steps ... I braved the shower gods..

Did anyone else get told about Lapband.com and to log on and use the journey journal its pretty cool.

Wishing this pain would stop. Feeling as though I am getting dehydrated. BLAH! Ready to feel better!!

Posted a blog on my surgery for those that wanted to know how it went. Too many to answer individually love you all and thank you for your get well wishes thoughts and prayers!

Doing okay this morning.. In a lot of pain starting to have the gas pain. Had some bleeding at the port site over night and having some difficulty getting up and down but other then that just trying to stay hydrated.

Hope your doing good! I am up a little nauseated and pain but okay. Will give full update soon. Please let me know when you can if your feeling okay.

Finally home doing good.. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I hope my friends that were also band today are doing okay. In a lot of pain but its only temporary.
