May 11th Surgery Stories

John, And for anyone else interested in my unsolicited advice. I always weigh on a monday because it keeps me in line for the weekend...if I weighed on a Friday I think I would have the feeling that I could make up for the weekend sins during the following week! I wish I would weigh once a month but very few people can have that kind of discipline! Theres a girl on here called Wendytip who does it though.

I wish I could lock up my scale and then just have someone let me use it on a planned schedule...weighing more than once a week always kind of ruins me but it is always calling me from the closet!! Then theres one in my daughters bathroom and the WiiFit weighs you, and the doc's office...AaaaaHHHHH!

Hi All. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm walking now about 5-6 miles a day. Other than the early jitters, I've recovered great. sleeping on my side and even woke up on my stomach a couple of times. I don't have much pain at all. Now I can tell I don't have much restriction and I do have hunger so it's a little more difficult. I am following my diet pretty well though. I have only lost about 6 lbs since being banded but I believe I'm trading fat for muscle. What is changing is my size and not so much my weight right now. I'm down 2+ sizes now and have had several people now tell me they can see the difference.
