Well guys, 4 days post op and I am feeling much better. Im still sore, but like my 17 year old daughter told me, It will be worth it. She has been amazing! She keeps telling me how proud she is and that she is glad that I want to be healthy. My husband has been so supportive. I thank the Lord for blessing me with my amazing family. I have to say that the worst pain has been in my shoulder. But they said that is the gas from the procedure and it will go away (fyi: heating pad has worked wonders). I am down from 193 (the day of surgery) to 180! It sounds too fast so I am going to call to make sure that this is okay. Im on the clear liquid diet for 2 weeks, so that is probably it. I have to say Dr. Groves is AMAZING!!!! He has had this procedure himself so he understands what his patients are going through!!! My new life has begun!! Now if I could just get off the clear liquid diet.....

Tomorrow is my day too! I'm a nervous wreck, but so excited at the same time! WE can do this girl!

So you are loosing fast! Way to go!

Tomorrow is the big banding day! I have been trying to get this done for a year now! I'm excited, but getting nervous. i know that I am sick of being overweight, sick of being embarrassed, sick of low self esteem. I want to feel good about myself again, feel comfortable doing things with my kids. I know I can do this, I want me back!
