Thanks so much for your support, kcintx and ajoneen. I know that I'm gonna do fine. I was really taken aback to such a random negative comment.

You're right about me making excuses, but those excuses are to myself, not anyone else. I know that I'm not an old pro at this but my goodness, you've been banded for a little over 2 weeks. You're dedication hasn't even been tested yet. Please don't judge me so soon. Just because I've eaten a cookie once a week doesn't mean I'm not committed. Trust me.

Congrats on your initial weight loss. I wish you the best in the future.

Okay, lets see. This is the first time I've ever blogged. I'm going to have to try and channel my inner writing goddess. I don't think I have one though. Oh well.

I was banded on Jan 7, 2008. I have done really well health wise so far. The surgery and recovery were a breeze.

I lost a lot of weight the first week after my surgery. I have not done so well with weight loss since. I've lost about 8 pounds in 5 weeks. I guess thats okay and well within standard, but I know I could do better.

I eat stuff that I shouldn't, not often and especially not as often as before, but I do it nonetheless. I haven't been exercising like I should be, I'm working up to working out though! I get general exercise throughout the day, I just haven't made myself get on that treadmill yet.
