Hi there,

I just had my lap band surgery about 5 weeks ago and I lost 10 lbs in the first two weeks, and only another 5 lbs since then. I found that I can eat a lot and there really isn't anything that I can't eat.

I don't get really really hungery as before and can go all day without eating till late afternoon.

I think that I have made some errors in choices regarding food and beverages.

I also started smoking again, so back to 800-quit-now I go. It is a really great program and a cheap cheap price...

I go in for my first tightening of the band.

Have you had that done yet?

How is it afterward? I am guessing it will be similar to right after surgery. I will be careful for awhile and phase back into knowing what I can and cannot eat again.

It is nice to have hope and room in my pants again.

People I know that are heavy enjoy getting my hand me downs...

Take care..
