So I went to the doctor for my post op appointment yesterday. I was so shocked to get on the scale and for me to have lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks. You hear about everyone's success stories and are so happy for them but when that someone is you...to me it seems surreal. My doctor said that I am doing great and that I can graduate to pureed foods! Woohoo! Actually I'm a little nervous about starting pureed because I know that liquids can't get stuck...and I'm sure that pureed foods go down pretty easy as well but I'm still nervous. The best part I think was when I texted my husband and told him how much I had lost and he replied with "That's great I'm so proud of you!" I have tears running down my face now just thinking about it. My husband has never told me he is proud of me for anything...not even for giving birth to our 3 children. He did not want me to get banded because he says I'm perfect the way I am. Maybe in his eyes but to me I was very unhappy. Now that I see the band is working I know that I will be smaller and much more healthy in the future. I am so looking forward to next summer when I can go to the beach/pool in confidence wearing an average size bathing suit.
