One Month Bandiversary!!

Hooray! I can't believe it's already my one month 'bandiversary!' So much has changed for me since getting my band! First of all, I've not been on here much this week because my partner and I moved back into Eugene from Junction City, Oregon; and we're much happier. We're right next to a beautiful running trail, and we can walk to do many of our errands. My next goal is to be able to ride a bicycle again! I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm a little nervous.

So since the surgery I've lost 35 pounds. I haven't been exercising much this week, but I've been moving a lot of heavy things and sweating that way! Whew! Moving is tiring. I feel pretty good! My scars are healing well, and I don't have any pain at all. I haven't had any stuck episodes. I am, however, feeling less restriction than I have the other weeks. At first I was pretty certain that I might not need a fill, but I think I probably will. I am still eating the amount that I'm supposed to, but I'm feeling REALLY HUNGRY a lot of the time. I guess I'm really in bandster hell right now. I am still eating mushies, but I suspect that my diet will be upgraded at my post-op appointment in a couple of weeks. I must say that I've never been this creative about what I'm eating as I am now... otherwise I think I'd be beyond sick of the mushies at this point. I laugh because I was so excited to get to the mushie stage, and now I'm getting pretty tired of it.

My goal for next month is a BMI in the 30s and to get on that bicycle.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!
