My goal is to be 140 pounds again and be able to exercise.

Well today is April 7, 07. It's been 2 months since surgery, I've lost 32 pounds & I'm at a stand still. It's driving me crazy. I've had one fill & it's like my friend Sandy said, that I would probably feel like I did before I had the first fill. And I do. There's times that I feel like I can eat everything in my sight. I hope this is normal, I feel like a pig. Even after the surgery & all, I still have this huge "need" to eat EVERYTHING.. Anyway please keep me in your prayers. I go on the 18th to get my second fill, I just wish that I could get to the perfect fill now instead of later, that's a big problem for me, I'm inpatient.. But until next time, please pray for me. And I'll try to update better than I have. And I wanted to also say thanks for all the help & encouraging words to all of my bandster friends as well as thoughs who have had other WLS's. Good luck to you all & if I can help with anything please give me a yell.

Well it took from Dec 5th 2006 until Jan 5th 2006 to get my surgery approved by Genworth Ins, it probably would have took longer but it was approved due to my pre existing health problems. My surgery was scheduled for Feb 5th 2007. I got through the surgery ok. Except for the anesthesia part of it, I always get sick after being put to sleep. But other than that I've done ok. I had to lose 13 pounds before surgery because of my liver being enlarged. But today is Feb 24th & I've lost 25 pounds, my incisions are almost healed. I don't go for my first fill until March 21st & I already feel so hungry. I wish I could get it filled now. I hope this is normal. It feels like I've not had surgery, just like I could eat like before. Eating was my favorite thing to do. I ate when I was mad, sad, happy, depressed. I guess you could say food felt like my best friend, when in reality it was my enemy.
