Did everyone have to go 2 weeks on liquids after surgery?? I am on day 10 and would love anything other than a protein shake!!

A little nervous about having to leave my kittys for a week next month. I won't eat over it though.

Listening to Duke Children's Radiothon on Mix 101.5. What a wonderful center. My God Daugther spent most of her life there and they were so good to her and the family. Now my nephew will go there next week and will be there for a month due to a major birth defect in his back. Thank God Duke Children's is here!

Preparing continues. One week.

Its been over 2 years since I got banded and I hate to say that I weigh 7 lbs more than when I had my surgery. It has not been very good for me. Apparently I had 8 cc when they removed fluid last fall. Two weeks ago I went back to NWWLS and had fluid put back in for a total of 5 1/2 cc. This is much better but I don't feel lot of restriction. I have lost 5 lbs so it is working but I just wish I could get it back to the way it was for the first 6 months post surgery. Going back and f...

2 years out, since I got my groovy band accessory... (I tell my grandkids that its a cool accessory,so that I don't freak them out too bad). I had lost 50 lbs.. gained about 10 lbs back... After a pep talk by another surgeon and my fill nurse, I'm back with the program and have lost about 4 lbs. in about 2 weeks. I had a lap band partner, but we no longer speak... so i am sort of soloing on this journey. No one really understands or was very supportive about it until I lost some weig...

Down 16 in 3 weeks! Couldn't be happier!

Busy week off to Toronto Tue-Fri for a quick business trip. Have a great week all!

Finally back to working out after being sick for a week. It's amazing how much energy being sick sucks out of you!

So much unloading and repacking to do before the "real" move next week. Still have to unload our stuff we had at the dorm and repack some stuff! Be so glad when its over and we are settled!

Amazing...my surgeon did not reschedule my fill appointment like he did last week. Second fill in the morning...
