Been a while

Hello everyone,I know its been almost 2 weeks since I last posted. Just checking in to let you know I am doing well. From the day I started my LSD to this past Friday, I have lost a total of 34 lbs. LORD I am so greatful! My doctor said that was great considering I have the band. I am happy to report that my knees no longer ache, and I can move freely up and down stairs without pain. I have resumed eating regular foods. I have eliminated bread and beef from my diet so far. I have fallen in love with steamed veggies, fish, tuna and chicken salad, and hot sauce. I have also started eating off of a saucer or a small bowl. I have to concentrate when I am eating so I can be in tune with my body to know when I have had enough. Thus far, I am proud of my self and happy with my WLS decision. I have been walking daily on my lunch hour and doing my best to get my fluids in. I thought I would forget to take my daily vitamin, but I have been doing well with it too. I am ready to start excercising but my doctor would like to me take it easy for another 2 weeks, then do only low impact activities as he feels I need to loose more weight before I start the heavy duty stuff. I can feel the weight loss on my waist, while other see it in my face. I am going to post pictures that I have taken just to see...
I didn't want to buy a home scale but I have no choice now. As of Friday, I wil only visit my surgeon once a month for the next year, a month is too long for me to know how I am doing lbs wise. I pray that the home scale and the scale at the doctors office won't differ too much. There is so much more I could say, but I have to get my baby ready for school tomorrow. Take care and I will post again soon.
