2 months post op

[Texaslatina 13]

Yesterday marked 2 months post op for me. I'm down 27 lbs and happy. Needing new, smaller sized clothes which is awesome. People comment to me in person and when I post pics on FB how great I look. It feels wonderful. Also, my BP meds have been adjusted from 4 a day down to 1 a day. I travel for work often and find that one of the most difficult things is making smart food choices. I've started to travel with Protein Shakes to keep me on track. I've had two fills since surgery and now up to 6 ccs in my band. After my second fill last week I feel tighter in the mornings and usually only have liquids in the am. It took a while to get adjusted. I have gotten stuck with chicken a few times the last few weeks and it was a terrible experience. Thankfully I was alone. I've started dating someone the last month or so and wondering when is the right time to tell him about the band. I want to be honest. He has health issues and I want him to know how I struggled before and feel so much better now on the road to more success. I've told him I had surgery but no other details. I now eat much slower, in smaller bites and never drink while eating. It's something I've gotten used to. One of my fav meals to order on the go is chicken enchilada Soup from Chilis. Sodium is high but it is so delicious. The chicken goes down easily since it is soup. I plan on trying more snap kitchen meals too since I'll be home more often this month. Hopefully I will continue to see my weight drop and join onederland soon! I've got 10 lbs to go...my total goal is to lose an additional 65 lbs. Good luck to all!

Sounds like you are doing beautifully! Congratulations on all. The 27 lbs. gone, the BP meds lowered, the guy -- all of it is so great. Way to go.

Great job! I am one month behind you, and hope to lose at your pace. Waiting on my first fill. Glad to hear the band is working so well for you. Keep us posted as to your progress.

Keep up the great work. I am one month ahead of you. Down 40 lbs and feeling good. I need to keep up the momentum. I have list and regained 20 lbs before often. I need to ensure I continue on track
