Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Hi Brandy! I am 1 week & 1 day post-op with lapband & wanted to write and encourage you...the recovery is not bad. :-) It is exciting to be able to "draw a line in the sand" and start fresh this way. Good luck on your journey soon to be your "fresh start" -- I hope it goes well!! Take care, Stephanie (SallyRhodes)

1 WEEK POST-OP
I am offically 1 WEEK out. YAY!!!!
I feel pretty good. I got the staples removed. It REALLY does NOT hurt. After there out you get a burning sensation that last 5 seconds. VERY painless. The took blood pressure and temperature which were all normal. Then comes the **WEIGH-IN**

I have LOST 26 lbs WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

I am so excited.

Since I lost SO much the NP asked me if I have been feeling weak or really tired?
She was really inpressed with the weight loss. She said patient usually lose 5-10lbs in that week.

I get to start mushies TOMORROW... I am so glad too. This whole week I stayed full on the liquids. But happy for some food.
