One month out.  I have lost 19 lbs since surgery.  No complications.  Starting to eat meats like chicken and fish.  I have learned it doesnt take much for me to get dumping.  I'm OK with that - makes me stay away from things I shouldnt have.  Started exercising (walking); but did run 1.5 miles earlier this week.   I am feeling great; lots of energy.

See ya next month for an update

Back from the hospital yesterday.  In pain but I know that will go away soon.  Sipping my water. Can go on full liquids today.  I was 201.2 lbs this morning. 

I was never successful with the LAP Band.  Constant vomiting and pain.  I was too ashamed to go back to the doctor so I lived with it for 3+ years.  Recently went back to discuss with doctor.  I have been approved for a revision.  I'm relieved; I feel like I can be that confident skinny girl again. 

My scale has not budged.    I feel like a failure!   I had an appt last week and got a 2cc fill.  I am FINALLY feeling restriction, which is good.  Dr. Weiger said it is not uncommon for someone not to lose in the first month or so.   But I have to confess (as I did wth him), I was not good to myself.   I think I'm going to need another fill.  I am still able to eat more than I should.  My biggest problem is drinking with my meal. 

Today is my 1 month anniversary.  I am dissapointed in myself.  I've lost  10-14 lbs, depending on the day.  I can go back to my gym this week.  YEAH!    I suppose this is normal.  I had my 1st PB yesterday.  Sometimes you get into old habits of eating too fast or the wrong stuff.  I'm learning.   

I can't beleive it.  It use to take me weeks to lose 10 lbs!  I am feeling good.  Not very hungry.  Still having some gas pains.  I go back to work tomorow.  Looking forward to another 10 lbs.  I just can't beleive how great I feel and it only will get better.    Eating mostly protein shakes, V8 juice, pudding, yogurt.  

My surgery went well.  I was scheduled for 9:30am.  Before I knew it; it was all over.  I don't even remember being wheeled into the operating room.  I was in alot of pain and nausea when I got out.  I still have some nausea, but I guess that will pass.  Not feeling too bad right now.  Starting to get hungry.

Starting the countdown.... I don't think I'm ready.  I'm getting nervous......

I was hoping for something sooner, but I'll take what's available.    I need to wrap my head around that this is REALLY happening.

I got my approval last week, so I set up my medical clearance.  No problem there.  I had already discussed this with my doctor 6 months ago.  I just got my pre-op consult date:   June 22.  I am SO ANXIOUS!!
