This is my first blog post as a Bandster! I am 8 days post-op. I think I am adjusting pretty well. I cheated a lil’ today though, I had a small slice of cheesecake (damn it went down easy). I started felling hunger again yesterday; I only got 1 week of no hunger L
I thought that a diet of sugar free pudding, Yoplait ® light and soup broth would result in dramatic weight loss, but I am only down 4 pounds since my pre-op appointment. My highest weight was 300 pounds and I weighed in at 284.7 today (after a little over 3 weeks of modified eating). I know I should be happy with these numbers but part of me just wants a little more. Hopefully in a few weeks I can begin exercising and speed it along.
I’m a teacher and return to work Tuesday. I am a little afraid of how I am going to get away with my full liquids in front of others. I only told my 2 closest friends at work. I’m keeping this a little to myself this until I am sure I can do it. My own expectations are enough for me to deal with. I’m not really interested in other peoples.
I began this journey over 2 years ago. I encountered some obstacles along the way, and can hardly believe I’m now banded!
Until we meet again~~~M
