9 days post-op

[r41168 4]

After just 9 days, I feel great. Oh I am ready to move off of the pureed diet and onto my regular diet but I know it takes time. On the 3rd day after surgery I walked 1 mile and every day since. I have had no complications thus far. It took me about 3 years to come to terms with the fact that I couldnt do this alone and needed help. I was one of the ones who thought Lap Band? You are just weak! Now I know better! This is nothing more than a tool for me to use to get my life back. I still have to do the work! My wife and children are my biggest fans and are constantly telling me how proud they are that I have done this. Not even on regular diet yet and the weight is already coming off! My surgical team was outstanding and the hospital Bariatric team of Nurses is awesome. Support groups, weight room, Nutritionist, weekly weigh-ins are all available for me to use.
