    In recovery..

    Now that I am a week past my surgery, I am feeling more like my normal self. I am disappointed that the pounds are not dropping off as they did during my pre-surgery diet. :thumbup: I understand that I won't be able to fill for 8 weeks after surgery. Was that the typical recovery time for you and how many cc did they fill the first time?

    My Journey Begins

    My journey began four days ago when I had the Realize Band put in. It was a bumpy road getting to the approval stage but after a year, I was approved and then things started moving fast. The two week liquid diet before surgery was not easy but I lost 15 pounds before surgery so that was nice. I am still in the recovery mode but every day is better. I was thinking I would be up running around 3 days later. :drum: I am committed to making this lifestyle change and am excited to read all of the success stories on this website.

    A journal entry from August.....A flashback from the begining.

    I had the Realize Band put in four days ago. I have to say your intial journal entry is exactly how I feel. I know I shouldn't feel like I am a failure because I couldn't do this on my own. My health was being affected by my lifestyle so I was ready for a change. It took me a year to get approved but I am now on my way to a new life. My twin had the lapband done last year and she has lost 90 pounds. I am excited for what is to come!!
