Hey all! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since I was banded and I feel great! All the chest and shoulder pain has subsided and I have my first tightening next week! I can't wait! Everyone keep me posted on how you are doing!

Oh darling I do not in any way mean to scare anyone out of the band. I am almost a week out since my surgery and I feel great. I was scared about how I was going to feel, if I was going to feel "different." But, I don't, I actually feel good. I am about to start re-incorporating soft foods into my diet and am excited at all the possibilities. My husband has been helping me find some great recipes. The best part was when someone noticed at work today that I was losing weight! Talk about making me feel wonderful! It was a long journey to get to my surgery, but it is so worth it! I know that every time I look at my son and know that I am going to be here for him!!! Please ask me anything you want. I am here to be an ear to listen, answer questions based on what I have experienced, and just be here to support everyone on here. This is a hard journey that we are all embarking on, but we can do it together! (Not to sound corny!) Talk to you all soon!:smile2:

I just had my surgery on Thursday the 23rd. I go back to work tomorrow. My goal is to lose a total of about 127 pounds from the time I started this journey 8 months ago to my goal weight. I am currently at 34 pounds! Only about 93 to go! I am a married mother of one and have a great support system. I am looking forward to being healthier and happier. I started a blog, My road to the lap band if you want to read a step by step of my journey and keep up with my progress!
