Feeling great

well, I am 9 days post op and feel a little better every day. I still get tired easy but no pain, no problems. I am 20.5 pounds down, that includes pre surgery diet and after the band combined. I can tell any one who is about to do this, it is such a breeze compared to what i expected. I feel so blessed. I would still love to eat lots of good stuff but I can already look at my face and tell the weighyt is coming off and it is so worth it. A very dear friend of mine recently said "nothing tastes as good as skinny will feel" I think that will be my new motto. I have started eating a few soft foods, no problems. Just cheese soup stuff, all is well. I have tons more to lose and I am afraid I will start getting discouraged when the weight loss slows way down but I am going to try and start walking every day and keep the momentum going. I wish I knew people locally who have this band too. I was so absolutely terrified and even just a few days out I know I am going to be so thankful for this chance to change my life, God bless to all.
