It has been a bit over 2 full weeks since surgery date. I am not sore at all anymore, but I do feel the port every once in a while. I went to post opt and got to set a date for my first fill - April 13 or 14...

I have been eating pretty normally for the most part. Tuna salad is my main course most meals. I have had chicken and meat loaf. All portions are cut down, but not as much as I would like. I am sure after the first fill things will be different.

I have lost another pound since post opt. I have become a compulsive weigher. It is so frustrating because my weight goes up and down through out the day as it does with everyone. I am going to try to only weigh 1 time per week or maybe 2 times. It is really hard. It is nice to see the scale number not increase everyday.

I have not picked up working out more yet, but I have noticed that I do not get tired as quickly as I used to.

Even though I have only lost 20 pounds and I have a lot more to go, I do feel better about myself and feel better in my clothes - not too much, but a little better. it helps.

Fianlly got banded (from my previous blog site)

I finally got the lap band on March 10th. I have been working towards this goal since May 2008. Almost 1 year later it is done. Now the real work begins.

I went on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery and lost about 13 pounds. I have lost another 5 pounds since then. Totaling 18 pounds. YEAH!!!!

Post Opt appointment was today. The doctor said I was healing nicely and that I was loosing a good amount of weight. Of course he said that I should not expect to keep up this weight loss. It should go down to 1-2 pounds a week or around 10 pounds a month with good excerise.

I am feeling better and drove today. I still have a bit of pain in my

side where the port is, but so much better than last week. Last night was the first night that I was able to sleep on my side. Doc says I will not be able to sleep on my stomach for several months, blah!

Oddly I am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I have been working from my laptop this week and was out of it all last week. Surely after a few days back at work this will pass. :cursing:
