Wow...who Would Have Thought?

Three weeks ago yesterday, I started this journey visiting my surgeon to talk about getting LapBand based on years of being obese and doing the yo-yo diets. In my mind, I never wanted to have anyone do a surgical procedure to help me lose weight because I thought I could do it on my now. But with a supportive husband, here I am now three weeks before my surgery date and reading all these documents and mandates from my surgeon. At times it feels overwhelming but I know I can do it. Instead of doing a two week preop diet, I have decided that I will do two and a half just to make sure everything is okay. I would be lying if I said I not nerves when I know my heart is jumping fast.

 

24 days and counting!!!

ive only been banded since mid december and my only regret is that i didnt do it sooner ! i hit the green zone with my 3rd fill end of Feb, im down from 225 to 203 (woo hoo !!!) looking and feelin sooooo much better, and have gone from a size 1x to an xl ! ive got lots more energy, ive give 4 bags of clothes to charity and im getting lots of nice compliments on my weight loss ! my surgery and recovery was a breeze, so follow your drs orders, find a 2-3 types of exercise that you like and can stick with and you'll love the results ! good luck !

Thank you all for the support. I am actually starting tomorrow with the preop diet and exercise, yes it is three weeks before but my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds before surgery. So I'm trying to start early and don't wont any complications.
