First post-op visit

Nov 30, 2009

I had my first post-op visit today.  It went smoothly.  No complications and I am officially on soft foods.  Hooray.  I'm still not really hungry but I'm sure it's coming.  I get my first fill on December 16.  So I guess from now untill then, I'm just hard core dieting.  I hope I'm not the one to find bandstres hell.   I'm looking at this as an opportunity to show how focused and determined I am to follow through with this and get this weight off my big ass.  OMG, I just realized that I will be going home to North Carolina the weekend before my fill.  My youngest daughter will be graduating from college.  My sister  decided that she would cook and we are having an early Xmas dinner.  I made deserts ,including a sugar free pumpkin cheesecake for my diabetic mom.  I'm sure she won't  touch it.  I'm sure she's gonna go after the turtle cheesecake I made.  I also know my sister, there will be enough food to feed a hundred people.  Good, southern, country folk food.

I have still not told anyone about my band.  I haven't lied about it, I just think it is very personal.  I have lost a total of 24 pounds in one month.  I know I have never loss that much weight in a healthy way.  So I am motivated.  I noticed the pants I wore to work today wer a little loose.  It actually feels good not to feel like a stuffed sausage in my pants.  One NSV to note, my blood pressure is way down.  Today it was 117 over 46, one month ago it was 142 over 110.
