I would have started my journal right away when I got home.
In this journal I will record my progress with the band surgery.
I am still sore and I'm in the second week after surgery.
I've lost about 11 pounds so far. I'm pretty excited about that.
The doctors keep reminding me that my loss will be much slower than bypass patients. I'm going to do my best to make this surgery work for me the best it can. I am going to excercise and show my doctors who is boss.
