I'm a Bandster!

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

Good luck to ya and if you loose only 1 lb it is more than I am loosing. I am still doing my appointments and have no idea when I become a banster but working on it. I am down to just eating 3 meals a day without grazing and have lost 2 lbs since June and feel good about it so don't get down on yourself if it comes off slowly. I was told to think positive by a wonderful person on here and that is what I have been doing. I was also told that I will never get to my goal weight by the social worker at the doctors office with the band and should do the gastric bypass but I will show her and when I am at my goal weight I will go in her office and remind her what she said to me and for her to never tell anyone that again. Now, that is thinking positive. And I told 3 people and I wish I would have kept my mouth shut and not told anyone but my children. So go to work with your head held high and everyday is a new day and could be a pound down or not but you always have the next day for that pound down.
