fresh new week...

I am almost 2 weeks post op. See my surgeon on Wednesday for my post op visit and I am down 32lbs but that includes pre-op diet. I am down 18lbs since surgery on 3/06. Still having a hard time getting the protein shakes down but I should be able to start eating pureed foods this week

My surgery was 12/12/11 and today I officially lost 40lbs!!! <3 my band

I did it! I officially was banded on 3/13/12 by Dr. Kuri!

Have had a good day. On vacation the rest of the week. I took the man-child to his friend's house this morning and then went straight to the gym. Had my protein shake around noon and didn't eat "lunch" til 4. LOL

Back at work after my unplanned week off and am feeling fuzzy brained and tired. And the catching up I have to do is daunting. But my band is fixed, so that's my silver lining!

no work next week....

Here I go......3 weeks until surgery and I can't wait. I am currently at my highest weight, 205.3lbs. I've been on diets for years and I go up & down. I acquired high blood pressure in April as well as some other medical issues. So, I decided that it was time to get this weight off.
