2 Weeks post-op
· aremers · 09/03/08 01:51 AM
I have made it through 2 whole weeks. I'm down 16.5 lbs and I am feeling really good now! THe added protein was a godsend! I did 2 wks of liquids and now I'm on mushy foods. I have been enjoying mac&cheese a lot! I am so scared of gaining weight back and will be happier once I get my first fill (in one more wk). People are noticing the weight loss :party: I started exercising tonight and feel good about that! I will start with my personal trainer on Thursday (doing 2 days a wk with her and the rest on my own).

Surgery Date tomorrow!
· aremers · 08/18/08 02:39 AM
I'm finally getting my band tomorrow. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! These last 3 days of liquid have sucked but I did okay. I tried to keep busy so that the hunger pains would go away! Tomorrow is the start of my new life! :confused:
