Jinky 0 Posted September 4, 2010 This is my first blog post as a Bandster! I am 8 days post-op. I think I am adjusting pretty well. I cheated a lil’ today though, I had a small slice of cheesecake (damn it went down easy). I started felling hunger again yesterday; I only got 1 week of no hunger L I thought that a diet of sugar free pudding, Yoplait ® light and Soup broth would result in dramatic weight loss, but I am only down 4 pounds since my pre-op appointment. My highest weight was 300 pounds and I weighed in at 284.7 today (after a little over 3 weeks of modified eating). I know I should be happy with these numbers but part of me just wants a little more. Hopefully in a few weeks I can begin exercising and speed it along. I’m a teacher and return to work Tuesday. I am a little afraid of how I am going to get away with my full liquids in front of others. I only told my 2 closest friends at work. I’m keeping this a little to myself this until I am sure I can do it. My own expectations are enough for me to deal with. I’m not really interested in other peoples. I began this journey over 2 years ago. I encountered some obstacles along the way, and can hardly believe I’m now banded! Until we meet again~~~M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockstar 0 Posted September 4, 2010 Congrats on being banded! I'm very jealous and wish you the best of luck. Your weight loss so far is great! I know what you mean though... don't you wish you could just be 50lbs lighter all ready?? I know I do ... and I'm not banded. :biggrin: If people start asking why you're only drinking broth just tell them you're on "another one of those diets!" Seems like that would be a conversation ender. Anyway, congrats and good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jkangasrdh 0 Posted September 4, 2010 I just got banded 8/26! I also go back to work on Tues. Everyone I work with knows I had it done so no need to hide anything. Good luck with your first day back. I am starting to get really hungry. Haven't lost much since surgery. About 5 pounds. My Dr. said I may gain some now that I am introducing smooshies. I hope not! Congrats on being banded!

Wow, what a coincidence! What do you do? I feel better standng up, so I think returning to work will be just fine. I might even make a point of doing the 3 filghts of stairs whenever I'm free (baby steps, ya know?) If I drink more Water I'm less hungry, but then I'm up all night peeing. Thanks for the welcome and good luck to you also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
