Newly Banded

[Lyoness82 21]

Hello,

My name is Lindsey. I was banded last Thursday Oct. 25th. I am almost a week post op, and today has been the hardest

food wise. I REALLY want to eat. But I have to wait until tomorrow when I see my surgeon and she gives me the go ahead, to move on to mushies. Boy refried Beans and cottage cheese has never sounded so good!

I am a 30 year old stay at home mom to 3 boys. Pre-Surgery I weighed 332lbs and I am no 321. I have zero energy and everything I do lasts about 2 minutes and it feels like I ran a marathon. My goal is 180 lbs, and I hope to be there within a year or 2. I am not trying to rush it, I've been fat for this long so I am not setting my self up for too much. My first goal would be to

not have to ask for a seat belt extender on my flight at the end of Feb.

I am in Sacramento, Ca and I look forward to meeting my fellow Banders.

Thanks,

Lindsey
