  1. On the 13th of april which was last Tuesday I went under the knife at 334 pounds. An I be damned that one week later I am down over 17 pounds. I mean I'm trying not to lift weights or run because I want to so bad so I am starting to walk an extra 10 to 15 mins everyday. I mean I'm getting more than enough protein but I am ready to get a little more aggressive with my physical activity. Well until I get the ok from the doc then I will just continue to walk it out........... Wow 17 pounds sure do make a difference on the knees LOL.......

  5. Wow I can not believe it is over. I mean the procedure seem to be over before I knew it. I mean as soon as I woke up I told them I could get up and move around a bit. It actually felt good to get up and walk around maybe caus eI had that good ol morphine in me....lol. Well besides the hunger pain and gas pains I'm feeling pretty good. I mean my stomach hurts when I breathe just due to the fact that my insides are healing and my lungs are constantly expanding. I find that if I sit for about an hour then get up and walk around for a few minutes I seem to feel a little better. Once again I thank you all for your support and you prayers. God Bless you all and WHOO HOOO im a bandster now.:thumbup:

I mean I have never been so excited and nervous at the same time. Like I said once before I like to thank everyone on this site and continue to pray for me. Thanks family!

    Guess what happened to me....... Well I have recently started a new job as of March 1st and of course that means a change of insurance. So I have to work a full 30 days before my insurance will go into affect. :thumbup: The funny thing is that my New Insurance does not require me to do any of the 3 month supervised diet. :wink2: The other funny thing was that I could have started this job back in Jan so I could have already had my surgery completed..... But I guess it wasnt all bad because I learned alot about myself over this past year. So Hopefully I can get the approval around the first of April and then I can get to the sweet sweet BANDLAND.:tongue2:
