Well I am putting in my 1st entry ... hopefully I will be able to keep up with this each day like I want to. I hope that these entries will one day be an inspiration to others as I have read entries and they have helped me. So my name is Appollonia if you can say that LOL I am 20 yr married female. I was banded on February 6th 2008.

My 2nd birthday. :wub: First day I came home from surgery I felt like shit and a 1/2! But each day gets a little better. I am still sore and my abdomen aches but it's all good I am 26 pounds down total! And I hadn't seen the scale move in ages literally I was about 17 LOL maybe even younger it has only been going up for the pass 5 yrs! I am just so ready for a change and I can't wait to see the outcome of my hard work. Because I definetely plan on kicking my own ass in the gym LOL! But I am still supposed to be on liquids for 2 weeks but I cheated the past 2 days :crying: I feel bad ... but all I did was have musy soup I blended it in the blender and it was the equivalent of baby food LOL! But as of right now I am going to get back on track with my liquids it's only 2 weeks. I am going to get a lot of protein when I get paid on Friday and try to do a little bit of moving ... maybe some dancing ... turn on some music videos or something. I wanna be down even more by the time I see the doc again I see him again on the 25th of Feb. But thanks for listening/reading everyone. Lots of Love and blessings and patience to those of you waiting to be banded!:scared2:
