Hey guys,

well it has been two weeks since my surgery (Dec 7) and I have to say that even though it has only been two weeks it has been quite a journey. I have lost 38 pounds so far!!!!!!!! Its insane because I've never lost that much weight before without giving up but this time is different and I am not giving up. I have been to work so far which makes my days go faster (still on protein shakes will be starting mushies in countdown...2days!!!!) . I know that most of the weight loss is attributed to the liquid diet but the fact that I've even had the will power to stay on liquids is amazing to myself. when it comes to hunger I'll be honest that I have not been hungry and have definitely had a hard time getting in the 60 grams of protein because I just feel so full. They say drink clear liquids in-between your shakes but that feels me up. I guess I shouldn't complain...but I def need to up my protein intake because I have been getting dizzy spells when I get up so I know thats attributed to the lack of protein.

NOW IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING AND SKIP THE NEXT SENTENCE!

now I like to be honest and honest I will be...my only problem has been...going to the bathroom. Im used to going twice a day and I miss that satisfying feeling I feel every morning and night. It was pure discomfort and def made everything else pale in comparison.

Nevertheless, everything has been going wonderful. my incisions are healing and doing ok. sometimes I forget I even have the band like when I went to a party and brought the house down.

I will all the best to my fellow December bandsters, and to all my future bandsters trust me when I tell you and I didn't believe it before either but your day will be here before you know it.

always a pleasure
