On my way - woo hoo!!!

One week post op - down 15.8 pounds - yay me!!!

I have been really, really sticking to everything, clear liquids, getting in my protein, etc.

Now i am on to mushy foods - just had a 1/4 cup of yellow tomato soup, very delicious and so far sitting just right with me.  

A few observations:
1 - I am not that hungry, the challenge i have is more with smell - why the heck does our mouth water when it gets a good smell?  so strange, i get the science behind it but would be nice if that part of the science would just go away

2 - I am very nervous (maybe a better word is cautious) about having any issues.  I just don't want to feel that terrible tightness I have been feeling the past week - that just plain sucked!  The shoulder pain was ridiculous.  I sincerely hope that is all over.

3 - I am surprised it is 3 weeks until any kind of fill.  But I need to heal so I guess i will take it.

I go see the doctor again in 3 weeks - goal in 3 weeks:

1 - Be down another 10 lbs
2 - Be walking at least 4 times a week for 30 mins


Goal by my daughter's graduation on June 8 - be down 14.2 lbs - total of 30 lbs...

So as i say - I feel i am on my way - feeling good, feeling strong, feeling like i will be successful!

  3. Wow...you are doing awesome! I'm so glad to have found your blog - it is great to be able to share the journey with others! :-) I was so tired the first two weeks after I was banded, and I really didn't expect that - as soon as I was allowed to eat mushees I perked up. I'm waiting for my first fill, too. Anyway, I'm going to go back and read what I've missed...I see you've been reading my blog, and I want to catch up on you!
