What a great day!
on March 31, 2008 1:43 pm
I love today!! 

For starters, I made a commitment to get up at 6am and walk! I did it (even though I was freezing) and walked about a mile this morning! Made me feel so great today! Then at the elementary school I work at is having nutrition and fitness week so today there was fruits and veggies GALORE and I got to bring home a TON! I brought home squash, eggplant, plums, red, orange, yellow, and green peppers, and zuchinni! 

I came home and got on the scale for my weigh in and was down 4 more pounds!!  It was also my birthday a few days ago and I had CAKE, chocolate mouse cake (hey I turned 30, I needed some ) but still I lost. 

Should I top the day off with a lottery ticket????? Hmmm?

I am now 4 weeks, 2 days out from surgery and the restriction that I had from me swelling is now gone. My stomach feels as if no band was put in. I have officially arrived in Bandster HELL! I want to eat, eat, and on top of that eat. I don't get stuck, full, nothing. My first fill is April 23rd....pray I make it!

On the bright side I have officially lost 51 pounds, which is the most weight I have ever lost in my entire life. I can ride my bike easily now and play basketball with the kids at my elementary school. People comment that I look different and my husbande says he can REALLY tell a difference in my attitude and energy.... I still, without a doubt, believe that this surgery was the best thing for me. I can't wait until me and my band get "tighter" and grow old together.

I am at day 10 and feel AMAZING. I have no more gas preasure whatsoever and feel like I never had any type of operation at all. My insicions are shrinking and look so much better than I ever imagined.  I put make-up on (first time in 11 days lol) and got all dressed nice today to go to the movies with my hubby and I look like I am glowing! I am so happy! I love my band!
