This is my first blog so let me introduce myself. My name is Nikki, I am 36 years old and been married for 9 years. I have two boys age 5 and 2 1/2. I am a WAHM on a contract basis and my contract is about to expire, so I am thinking of going back to work part-time. I had surgery last week on Wednesday (07-23) and I feel pretty good. I have struggled getting my protien in, but I am getting better at it. I also have been walking every day for 30 minutes. I have lost 15.5 pounds in just this week alone and I feel really great about that! I go next week for a recheck and to have the strips removed from my incisions.

I also got banded on July 23rd! Today is the 28th and I feel pretty good. I still can not bend over and have some difficulty getting out of bed, but other than that, I feel pretty good. I am on liquid still for three weeks before I start puree food. I am drinking chicken broth, Water, and Protein shakes. I got a book with all sorts of protein recipes in it. I also am eating low carb yogurt, sugar free pudding and Jello. I am having a hard time getting my protein in because I get full and then do not drink for a while. I have lost 12 pounds since the 23rd. Good luck and I hope you get better soon!

Hello everyone! I am brand new to this forum and I am looking forward to getting lots of information. I am actually getting lap band done tomorrow on 07-23-08. So this is my third day of clear liquids and I am getting a little tired and a little cranky. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I will keep you all posted
