Guess I should update this blog. It will be one month tomorrow since I had the lap band surgery.

I wish I could say it has been a piece of cake (lol) but it hasn't. Each day gets better but it was a slow healing process for me.

My pain is all gone, incisions healed and I have lost 34 pounds. 12 of that was pre-op diet weight loss. I am on the mushy stage and hate it. I am so bored with mushy foods.

I had one incident of being "stuck" Oh...

I really haven't felt like entertaining for a very long time but I'm raring to go again. Now that my energy level is back up and I've actually cleaned every nook and cranny in my house let the entertaining begin!

We plan to have two couples over for the 4th. Planning a menu that's perfect for me appears to be easier than I thought. My hubby plans on grilling brats and chicken breasts. A great fresh salad and slurpy watermelon sounds perfect with a couple of lemonade martinis.

Forty-four pounds down!!! Five weeks tomorrow!!

WOW!! I was banded on 6/11/08, and to date I have lost 18 lbs. I never new it was going to be so easy. My next doctor appt. is in 4 weeks. He said I might not even need my first fill, since I am not hungry. I am still in the second stage of pureed food. I am eating my protein first, then veggies. I don't get in too many veggies though, because I am full by the time I eat the protein.
