Hi Marie!
Omigosh, I feel awful, I hadn't logged in here for so long and I never got an email saying you sent me a message. I wasn't ignoring you, I promise!
Also, I regret to report that I hadn't lost 25 pounds when you sent me the originally because my ticker is from my highest ever weight. I've been thinking lately of changing it to start it with my pre-surgery weight. I probably ought to do that. But, if you subtract 11 pounds from the ticker weight, that's my loss since surgery. So we were both at 14 pounds! Now I'm at about 23 pounds, so I'm happy about that.
I've been losing, but at a relatively "slow" rate for most bandsters. But I know that's primarily because of me, and I'm actually okay with that. As long as I don't feel deprived, I eat enough protein, fiber, and vitamins, and I'm still losing weight, I'm happy. =)
But I have been experiencing "first bite syndrome," which has been kind of painful for me. I just started a thread about that in the post-op section.
How have you been lately? Are you still liking your band? I hope all is well with you!

My surgery went well, thanks! How did yours go? I finally flew home today from CO. I'm glad I was able to wait a few days (I stayed with cousins) because I got stronger each day, but I still get really tired starting in the afternoon. Now, my big goal is to make sure I get in enough liquids. I seem to have some difficulties with that right now. I hope you continue to heal well!

I'm sorry for the late reply, but I had spotty Internet access until I returned home to California today. I'm glad you appreciated the cheering I did for you! I knew you could hear me, but couldn't respond (that's how I was a couple hours earlier, heh), but I wasn't sure if I was being annoying or supportive. I'm glad to hear more supportive! =) I'm healing okay, how are you? Thursday was the hardest for me because I was too afraid to drink much, but also got scary hungry. Friday was much better and today (Saturday) was relatively decent. I still can't drink all the liquids I need, though, which I'm not a big fan of. I don't want to get dehydrated! How are you feeling and healing? I hear you made it back to UT, but had a rough flight. I hope all is well with you!
