And proud of it.

Thought I would let everyone know, i have joined the losers bench.

6/9/09 was my new birthday, i am down 10 lbs since my pre-op 2 week liquid diet started, and on my way to recovery.

Spent 2 nights in the hospital, laproscopic lap band, and have started my walking. Gas isn't bad yet, taking my meds, doc gave me hydroconone for pain and nexium for antacid, so that I don't develop ulcers.

I make 24oz of protein shakes the night before, and sip it all day, I love the GNC Banana Creme. I also make my bottle of sugar free hawaiian punch with 1/2 a New Whey. i am for sure if nothing else going to be sure to get all my protein.

I walk 3 times a day outside not sure exactly the distance, but it takes about 15 minutes depending on how slow I walk. I will make it longer as I get my strength back.

I am determined to make this work. I have been watching discovery health with the boyfriend, and Big Medicine has been on, as well as some other shows with people having the surgery, and he just thinks it is amazing, of course he is like 6'5 and weights 150 soaking wet.

He is very supportive of me, to the extent that he read all my postop papers and if it isn't on there, I can't do it. I mentioned showering today, he said yes, a shower, but make sure no bath, doc says no bath.

He really cares.

Congrats to you! Don't you feel awesome? I was banded on May 20th and am loving my life even more already. You are also really lucky to have such a wonderful and supportive boyfriend because I've read some people on here have had problems with unsupportive spouses. Congrats again and keep up the good work! :thumbdown:

Yay for you - you're such a loser! That's wonderful to have that support from your boyfriend.

Keep up the good work!
