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!
