Nevasmon

I was banded May 22 and I have lost 20lbs since then. I'm on full liquids for another 16 days. My appetite really hasn't returned due to swelling. I can go all day just drinking water. My mouth may water when I smell food but there is no physical hunger. Has this happened to anyone else?

Congrats! Your weight loss is an inspiration to all of us just starting our journey. And by the way your Ex husband is an idiot. He has to kick his self everyday seeing as how your now super duper hot.

Great observation Pongomp! You are definitely not alone. However, I don't think that what your feeling is limited to your weight loss. I think that it's more about goals and direction. I believe that you are a goal oriented person. For so long it has been your goal to lose weight. You have put tremendous amounts of time, money, effort and focus into reaching that goal. Reaching that goal has somewhat consumed your existence. Now that you've reached that Goal comes the question "Now What?" I'm just starting my Weight Loss Journey and pray to be where you are one day but yet and still I can totally relate. I've always wanted to be a lawyer since 6th grade. I did contest in highschool, I went to undergrad, I took prep classes for the LSAT, I took the LSAT, I applied to several law schools, I got accepted to Law School, I attended law school, I got a job with a law firm, I graduated from law school, I passed the bar and now I'm a full fledge lawyer. I am extremely grateful for the blessing I've received but at the same time I've had a the "now what momement" I think that what we both have to do is set new goals and continue the cycle for the rest of our lives. Goals help you stay focused and reaching them is one of the greatest pleasures we have.

I thought this was an interesting article. If he can get the surgery and take the beating he does week in and week out regular guys and gals should be able to do anything they want with the lap band.
