Well exactly a week ago today I was banded ! WOW what a difference a week makes. I feel alot better .:)  For those of you with the gas and bloating thing going on right now ....take heart it gets better ! I still have a little here and there but nothing really bad.My incisions ITCH like crazy ! Guess they are healing under there.:) I still have the weird air bubble thing but not as often now. I am down 25 lbs today !!!! YAY !!!! The capris I put on are loose .My undies were loose too .Hahaha.I am starting to see a difference in my body even if it is very slight. Those things are mood lifters for sure. I have noticed my skin is very dry though.
I have started to give thought to the kind of eating lifestyle I want to lead when I CAN eat again.I am leaning towards low carb.Just seems best to me.I do not want to introduce the unhealthy carbs back into my body now that I am clean. I love veggies and lean meat will be fine with me so that is the way I think I am headed.
On a sad note last week a friend of my daughters from school passed away.Only 11 years old! She had some health issues but death was unexpected at this time and it has been hard. We had to go to the visitation for her last night and it was heart wrenching.We of course know her parents and she has been in school and in classes with my daughter since kindergarten.I tutored her in Kindergarten.So sad.:(  She was a gorgeous little bundle of spunk .Guess she had to be with the challenges she has had. She and my daughter were just on the front page of the home town paper singing in the honors chorus in our county .Just shows how fast things can change.Ok....here come the tears so I'll move on.
well my laundry is almost caught up so that is good so I am going to go try to get that done and it will be time to drink a protein shake soon.
