5-week update

Goodbye 280's Doctor was very pleased with my progress. I'm down 33.2 pounds, and having no major problems. I had my first experience of getting something stuck not a pleasant experience, but I know it was because I was eating too fast and did not chew properly before swallowing a bite of chicken. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way no matter how much info we get from others. I'm well on my way to a healthier me and will return to work on Monday. Nancy 310/276.8/122  

Way to go Nancy... your doing great !!! I had to chuckle.. when you mentioned having to learn.. the hard way about not chewing good enough. I told my dr. yesterday that I got sick once from not chewing my food well enough. But i also told him that I was glad I did.... cuz then I knew for sure he had put a band in me !! He laughed. I have felt so good, other then eating smaller amounts, and having a few little scars on my belly, I would never guess that I had surgery !! I love my band !! Continued good luck to you on your journey to a healthier YOU !! Cindy
