First post op check up
Jan 10, 2011
I know i haven't been on here in a few days but I have been kinda busy. I went to my first check up today and Dr. told he was very pleased to see me doing so well. I asked a few questions about what i should be doing, he told me to just keep going at this pace. When i asked about starting to exercise he asked me to Wait for another week. that was a bit of a bummer, but knowing i am still losing makes it OK. I have to set up a date for my first fill next week sometime so that should be fun.
every where i go I meet someone that asks me the same old question. "have you lost weight". I just smile like a fool and go into my whole story. It really makes a guy feel good to know ppl are starting to say hey you are looking good. I just keep thinking man I must have been worst off than i thought. LOL
I love the new energy i have found but it is like a drug, I want more. My kids are loving the new me and the time i suddenly have for them. I really need to make up for some lost time but I keep trying to go slow, so i don't over do it.
well I better go for now
later

Wow I feel better every day.started eating soft "mush" kinda foods today. It was a lil tuffer getting my water in today but I am still getting it so I am doing ok. The soreness is pretty much gone unless my son forgets and elbows me in the belly...LOL. He is 9 so I cut him a break. Tomorrow I go back to work on night run. I can hardly wait to show off my new holes. It will be a long night though. 12 hours of sitting yuck but i guess that is what i have been doing around here. I have done some light cleaning but I miss calling ppl names for no reson.hey it is what i do.
My first check up with Dr.is on the 13 I am a littel worried about that. I don't know what i should expect. I hope i have been doing everything right. I will add more later tonight I have to stay up anyway.
Ok i didn't add any more wife ws sleeping pretty good and i didn't want to wake her. well talk to myself later.

Ok last night was ruff. First time I tried to sleep in bed and didn't work out so hot. I got out of bed around 3:30 am and went back to the chair. Not sure what happened but felt really sick. maybe i drank to fast or maybe the cat curled up on my belly but either way i was getting out of bed fast. Wife says i can start to drive today so i have a few errands to run and see how that works out. I am trying really hard to take this new life slow and steady but it just isn't my way,however I am learning that I will weather I want to or not lol.
till next time keep your goals in sight and and never stop reaching for them.

Some time after my wife had her surgery,I started to feel as tho i was letting her down. I wanted to feel all the energy she had. I wanted that "I feel great"smile on my face as well. So I began to look into lap band. I didn't want anything to new and seeing that i am a wimp when it comes to being in a hospital. I wanted something quick yet steady. I met with Dr.Mobly and he said I would be perfect for Lap band. My surgery was set and now i am on my way to a new and better me.
