HI EVERYONE!! I got my surgery june 4th and things are getting better everyday. I started off feeling crappy but now i have lost 45 lbs even though i think i gained some cause they started me back on foods. Going from all liquids for 2 months to having to eat 3 small meals with protein shakes between each meal. i havnt had a fill and hope i will start dropping the weight again. If anyone has any tips or just kind words that will help me out haha just let me know.

Well today is my second post op day and no where near as bad as I imagined. I do have to say thouhg that recovery was theworst pain ever.I had gas bubble the size of a water ballon on the little xray, so of course half asleep and on pain meds I had to walk to get it out. I am still having some gas pain, but nothing like that day. I went in on my surgery date with losing 20 pds on the pre liquid diet. I was excited about that.

I will keep you up to date on my journey and will...

When I get worried that I am not losing very much weight, losing too slow, or that I can't see a difference in the mirror, I get dressed in an outfit that I couldn't wear a few months ago. Take a few pictures and compare. It really helps to see them side by side to see a difference. I encourage EVERYONE to take lots of pictures before banding so that you have great pics to compare with.

Take pictures every few weeks. It is kinda like a picture journal.

Some of these...

Ahhh....I have not blogged in a little while, so thought I should jot a few thoughts down. Today was the first day I could get on my scale and not wear the boot for my broken ankle and leg bones.....I was very excited as it said I have now lost 34 pounds! Then I put the boot back on. I am transitioning out of the boot, I either have to use crutches or the boot. I'm healing up nicely though, I am happy to say.

The lap-band is something that has now been 9 and a 1/2 weeks for me...
