I've only been banded 2.5 weeks?!

The space-time continuum must have been breached the day I had surgery. I'm 3 weeks post-op on the 22nd. I feel like I've been doing this for *months*. Wha-happen?

I was trying on some pants the other day, just in case (they're ONLY 3 sizes smaller than what I'm wearing now :confused: ) ... and they were still pretty snug, so I was like, "Oh chit in a chingle, will these EVER fit again!?" My husband just looked at me like I had a third head. What? I asked... and finally said, "Honey, you haven't even being doing this for three weeks yet..." And I started to argue, and tell him it had been WAY longer than that, and then I realized he was right, and he's never right. It was a huge epiphany, like I had just learned the meaning of life.

See - it FEELS, mentally and physically, like I've been doing this for MONTHS. Sometimes... actually quite often... I forget how newly banded I still am. I look at my poor red incisions and curse them for not scarring over yet. I look at my big wobbly tummy and curse it for still blocking my view of my toes. And then I look at my food journal and can never figure out which months I forgot to log, because there's only 3 weeks' worth of entries in there...

:faint: :biggrin1:

Time is passing by slowly with this band to me, I'm just very impatient, I want this weight off yesterday. I'm going to the gym 5 times a week and drinking my gallon of water. The only thing that is getting smaller is my face :D and my wedding band slips off in the shower. But I'm just gonna continue on doing good, and one day my body has to respond, right?
