NEARLY TO THE 2 MONTH MARK
Jun 01, 2008
WELL, JUNE 3RD WILL BE MY 2 MONTH POST-OP DATE AND I HAVE LOST 40#. EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. I HAD MY FIRST FILL ON MAY 19TH. NOT MUCH PAIN. HARDLY ANY RESTRICTION, SO I AM STILL DIETING AWAY, TRYING TO CONTROL MYSELF, WHICH IS A VERY HARD THING TO DO. BUT I HAVE BECOME A SMARTER SHOPPER AND I REALLY READ NUTRITIONAL LABELS NOW. THE SCALE HAS NOT REALLY MOVED MUCH THIS WEEK, SO I AM PRETTY DISCOURAGED, BUT I KNOW IT WILL START MOVING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN WALKING ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES AT LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK. WHICH IS MORE THAN I USED TO DO (NOTHING).
I WASN'T FINISHED

SORRY, I AM LEARNING HOW TO CONTROL ALL THE BUTTONS. ANYWAY I AM STILL ON MY 2 WEEK POST-OP DIET AND SO FAR ALL IS GOING WELL, I KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE SOME HARD TIMES AHEAD AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE JOINED THIS WEBSITE. HOPE TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND CHAT ABOUT ISSUES THAT COME UP.
HERE I AM

SO, HERE I AM. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT BLOGGING, BUT HERE GOES. I AM A 39 YEAR OLD FEMALE (SINGLE-PARENT) WHO HAD FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF BEING OVERWEIGHT. HIGHEST WEIGHT 327#. I AM A NURSE AND WORK LONG HOURS AND THE WEIGHT HAS BEEN TAKING ITS TOLL ON ME FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SLEEP APNEA AND DIABETES AND HOPEFULLY BOTH WILL BE RESOLVED WITH THE WLS. MY SURGERY WAS 4/3/08 AND MY PREOP WEIGHT WAS 314. I HAD THE BAND PLACED AND I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME. I AM 4 DAYS POST-OP AND RIGHT NOW MY SPIRITS ARE HIGH. I AM STILL ON MY 2WK POST-OP LIQUID
