One Month Post Op

[Spaness2012 609]

And joining a gym today. I have been happily walking (outside and on the treadmill) but thought I would kick it up a little. It has been years since I joined a gym and I am excited. Baby steps for me (gonna use the elliptical and other low impact machines until I am cleared for other activity).

Another phase of the journey.....I am happy to be on the ride!

Don't panic and keep moving! My motto for the day!

I am also 1 month post op. I have been walking about a mile a day with lots of hills. I have lost 20lbs so far and go for my first fill on tues. I'm ready for it! Have you had a fill yet?

Wow! You ladies have lost a lot in just one month! Congrats! Were you on a pre-op liquid diet first? My doctor did not have me do that. I hope I still lose a lot in the first month! Keep up the good work!

No fills yet. I am scheduled for my first on 3/22. I am eating the way they suggested and hope the fill will help keep me fuller for longer. Congrats on your mile w/ hills!

Yes I was on a preop diet and lost 15 pounds on the 2 week liquid diet. I also lost 14 pounds on my own when I was doing the 6 month evaluation that my insurance requirement. I have only lost 6 pounds since I was banded and recently the scale did not move an ounce.....it is starting to move slowly now that I am on solid foods.

Congrats on your band. I look forward to seeing your successes!
