So, I have been waiting and it has been killing me....to weigh.  I like most others on here have had such a tough time losing weight.  Well, I went to the gym this morning for the sole purpose of doing my 1 month post op weigh in.  Well what did my amazed eyes see???  A 26 LB LOSS!!!!  I couldn't believe it!!!!  YIPPIE!!!  I have downloaded my updated pic as of this morning too:):)  I love my band!!!

So, I passed 1 week, 3rd week on liquids!  Finally done.  I started on full liquids last night.  I had a soy free dairy free yogurt made of coconut milk.  It was very good.  I think I may have eaten too much.  I had that first post op gas feeling?  You know that kind that goes to your shoulders?  It is gone this morging, but I am not hungry in the least bit.  Is this normal?  My family is starting to see changes!  Awesome!  The otherday I walked passed the mirror and caught my face in it, it seems to be taking on a slimmer me!!!  I hate that I am always the last to see the weight loss, but I guess as long as others see it and my clothes notice it too, that is all that matters.
For healing, going good.  It's just reminding my 3 yr old that I can't pick him up or carry him.  And that he can't use my stomach as a launch pad anymore.  Whenever I remind him, he wants to see the owie, has to touch it then makes a funny face and asks me if I am ok.  Too sweet.
I haven't weighed since being home from surgery(we stayed in Puerto Vallarta for 4 days)I am trying really hard not to buy a scaleI would obcess about the number.  But I feel myself wearing down.  We'll see how long it takes for me to go buy one.  I guess if I were back at work I wouldn't worry about it.  I am a nurse so I have access to scales all day, not sure if that is a good thing or not.  We'll see.
Going to visit family tomorrow in Eastern Wa.  Me and the kids are going to give dad a break.  My aunt is an awesome cook and always does up the best breakfast, I hope I can stay strong and only eat my liquids....
