Thanks for everyone's support. I haven't posted anything in a while mostly because being busy with the holidays and such...My lapband surgery been nothing but great to me. I have not had any complications thus far and feel great. I started my journey at 287 pounds just 13 pounds of 300 pounds on August 1st 2016 and I am Currently at 222pounds.
Losing 65 pounds in almost 6 months has been a life changing experience for me. No more back pains, feet hurting, bad sleep and I can list many other things but the best thing is that now I can go zip lining with my daughter, we have gone parasailing together and we hike..I'm excited to continue my journey for myself and for my daughter and see where this takes me !!

Well, it's been over a month since I have posted anything on here and I'm a couple days away from my two month post surgery date. My surgery date was august 1st and I got my first fill on Sept 12. I weight myself this morning and I'm down 40 pounds which make me feel great emotionally and physically. I can eat anything I want and not have any issues except for pizza and bread which is fine because I try to do a low carb low calorie diet. The great part about the band is that I feel like I eat like a normal person now and not over eat until I'm sweating...The things that I have noticed is that now I'm the last person eating at the table which is fine with me. day of surgery two month after surgery

Well tomorrow marks my 3rd week post surgery and I feel great !!! The day I went in for surgery I weighted 277 and today I am weighing 251. I am stoked that I have lost 26 pounds in three weeks. I have been able to eat my three meals a day without any issues and walked daily also without any issue. So far so good

Well today I was able to eat something for the first time in two weeks of being on a liquid diet. I made one scrambled egg and 1/2 of avocado and let me tell you it was the best egg and avocado I have ever tasted...

You can do it, I'm just starting my journey but I believe the hardest thing is to start and take one day at a time....Let me know if you need anything

Day 5 post op.... I feel good/excellent, I'm still on my Protein Fluid post op diet for another two days. I cannot wait to get some real Soup broth in me :-). I started my pre-op liquid diet on July 29th and weighted 277 today is August 5th and I weight 263.... 14 pounds down and feeling great

I was banded on Monday August 1st 2016, the surgery went great except for some shoulder pain the first two days post op. Today is August 4 and I feel so much better. I was able to walk 2 miles on the track and left all my energy there, being on post op liquid diet is not as difficult anymore as I thought before I started this journey..
I have a feeling I will be seeing a lot more of this ...

I'm doing this for myself and my daughter :-)
Tomorrow is a new day .... Let's do this !!!
