I haven't written in a while - I've lost 52 lbs so far. This includes everything since last year. I'm actually down to 220 lbs. Can hardly believe it. Wow! People at work are starting to comment on how good I look but Never Annette & Barb. Why am I so surprised.
My second surgery is tomorrow. My first was on April 28' 2005. My stomach was perferated and they had to remove the band. Tomorrow, I'm in the hands of GOD! I truley hope that I will be OK. I'm scared. More so than the first time. Now I know all that can go wrong. Back soon.:think
I got home from the hospital yesterday. Still weak but stronger than I thought I would be. I'm getting headaches so I decided to have a slimfast. I need the protein (I think). Brian just left woth his mom for his colonoscopy. Hope all goes well.:nervous :notagree
It's been a week today. I've lost 12 lbs. I started full fluids yesterday but I'm still so hungry. I was told to get protein powder to add to my meals but that stuff is disgusting. Just can't do it. So, I'll take one day at a time. Took a bath last night and removed all my stery-strips. Doesn't look too bay. First day back at work so I figured I'd re-cover them again in case anything rubs. All in all - a pretty good first week.
I'm still going strong though it seems I keep hitting a wall and it takes forever to get over it. This week I finally broke through the 200 lbs barrier rief. I now way 198.00. It's been ok though.
I started at the gym last week. I feel good about it and am looking forward to going more often. Brian's been working some pretty crazy hours. I would like to be at 180n by HCristmas but I don't think I'll be real disappointed if I dont. As long as I don't gain - I'm good.:drum:
