I have made it through 2 whole weeks. I'm down 16.5 lbs and I am feeling really good now! THe added protein was a godsend! I did 2 wks of liquids and now I'm on mushy foods. I have been enjoying mac&cheese a lot! I am so scared of gaining weight back and will be happier once I get my first fill (in one more wk). People are noticing the weight loss :party: I started exercising tonight and feel good about that! I will start with my personal trainer on Thursday (doing 2 days a wk with her and the rest on my own).
i'm 5 wks post op and had my first fill last wed. i am down 19 lbs. around wk 3 i had gained 5 and was only down 11...so i'm pretty glad i'm down 19. i already can't wait for my 2nd fill b/c 4 oz doesn't fill me up as much as i'd like it to.
so i had my band placed on monday. the actual surgery went welL! i think they started around 1:30 and woke me up around 3:30. i was home by 6. today (2 days out) i am in moderate pain from the gas. every time i even drink i get more gas pain. i know this is normal but i can't wait until i feel normal again!
So today is the first day on my journey! I start my pre-op diet of liquids today. I get my surgery done in 3 days..I can't wait! I weighed in yesterday at the doctor's office at 299.5 lbs. EEEKS! I hope the surgery goes well! :confused:
I'm finally getting my band tomorrow. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! These last 3 days of liquid have sucked but I did okay. I tried to keep busy so that the hunger pains would go away! Tomorrow is the start of my new life! :confused:
