My last 7 weeks of band life...pounds lost..angry surgeon...next steps!
So I got banded on March 30th...I was 321 when I started the process. I lost 7 pounds before the surgery. On my surgery day i was 314. I lost a whooping 16 pounds in two weeks bringing me to 298..:laugh:.I was so excited...and so was my surgeon...my next follow up was may 6. i was suppose to stay on purees during that month...needless to say...i cheated and i cheated bad...not in what i ate..but the fact that i began to have solids once a day after only 2 weeks of being on purees. When i went to the doctor a month later...i was only 4 pounds lighter...bringing me to 294..my surgeon was Furious!!! I told him what i did and he went into a fit...he said i could have flipped my band...i could have hurt myself and that he was disappointed :confused:...im thinking to myself...damn...but i lost a total of 20 :thumbup:pounds since my surgery...he was not satisfied...i was depressed..:rolleyes2: i know i could have done better but i was proud of myself...i couldnt lose 22 pounds in years...and I lost it in a month...so my next appointment is may 27th..im now down to 288...i have lost 6 pounds in two weeks. I hope I can be at 10 pounds lost by the time i see him again.
so what have i been doing...well i count calories(800-950 a day)...i walk two miles 3-4 times a week, and i try not to overeat...i have no restriction right now so it is very hard!!!! I can eat everything and anything...so im looking forward to my first fill.
