Wow this week went by fast! Surgery was one week ago, the first few days were rough, not going to sugarcoat that! I had my lap band removed, hiatal hernia repair, and the sleeve! The only pain that remains is from where the port was removed, lots of scare tissue but otherwise doing really well! Following my diet plan, no issues, minimal nausea , Zofran helps, yes gas but gas x strips work wonders, and had to use milk of magnesia to get the bowels going yesterday, thank the Lord! Down 8.3 since surgery, and 15.3 since prep diet! Looking forward to future success, no regrets!

Haven't blogged in a long time, the lap band has been a complete failure, I'm scheduled for revision surgery to a sleeve on 1/30, I have a wonderful surgeon, and so excited !

Haven't blogged in a while, so here's an udate, okay lets see where to start...I have had 2 fill, 1st in mid Aug, an aggresive fill of 2 cc, next about 3 weeks ago and additional 1 cc, I definetely have restriction and at times too much but for the most part I hit my sweet spot and stop, sometimes thing taste so good its hard to stop but its all about trial and error and learning how to work the band. I have lost about 30 or more llbs, I really don't get on the scale at all, for me its all about the NSV's..I'm down 2 sizes from a tight 18 to a comfortable 14, everyone is noticing especially my biggest fans my coworkers, they keep me going, also my hubby has been wonderful, I can comfortabley cross my legs, many other NSV's. I usualy go to the gym 3-4 tx week and ride the bike and do some weight machines, I'm usually there for about an hour and if I miss too I really miss it!! Anyway I'm rambling, I'm very happy I chose the band its working probably a little slower than I thought but its a great tool! We are leaving for Mexico on Sun, I'll try to update photos soon...........Colleen

Just a quick update leaving for vaca today, just weighed in and I'm down 20lbs, WOW, I feel great, I'm eating well, pretty much anything but healthy choices and much less, I;ll be going for my 6 week po vs on 8/6 and poss will be scheduled for a fill, no sliming or PBing, just burping, I can handle that, I know things will change with fills, but I feel I'm off to a great start on this journey...........stay tuned
