After surgery- baby steps Three days since my lap band surgery and overall, things are going very well! Got a little ahead of myself yesterday and didn't have my drinking plan in place, but I'm off to a much better start today. One of the things I learned from someone here at OH, I think it was Becka from Band Camp, was to take a little 2 oz. "medicine" cup and use it to take those small sips. What a difference that is making. Already I have in 10 grams of protein, before 8 a.m. and I'm on my way to what I believe will be a great day. The little things we can learn from others can be such a blessing!
Speaking of blessings, how blessed I am! The care I got in the hospital, my precious husband by my side, my surgeon, my friends checking up on me- all these AND to know the Peace that only comes from God. I am excited about this next part of my journey, feelling better, living longer, doing more and enjoying it all!!! Taking baby steps for now, preparing to "run the race" of life's journey!

Amen!! Sista! My name is Cecelia (BeautyQueen) and I am having LapBand done on 5/5/08. I am so excited!!! I needed help with the idea of really not eating for 2 weeks, I haven't really done this. It's been off and on with the shakes. Since I have for days left I'm going to do my best. Could you tell me more about how you felt after the surgery? I thank God for blessing me with this chance to have a New Life. HALELUJAH! I PRAISE HIM, HE IS SO WORTHY. I'm praying for you and your continued success. We can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us!! have a great day.....
