I was on my way to surgery...The past week has been like nothing I have ever done in my life. I have absolutely no regrets at all. I am still on clear liquids till Tuesday when I meet with my surgeon. She gets to make the call if i progress to the next stage of food or not. I still have some pain but I take my meds for it as I am worthless to my kids if I don't . 

I gained 9 pounds  of water weight in the hospital. I have lost all of that and another 12 pounds! I can not believe it. I am so thankfull that I had this surgery as there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own without this wonderful tool. 

Awesome!! Sounds like you are on your way to a new and skinnier you!  I am sooooo excited to get things moving here!  I still haven't received my surgery date, but, will know more on April 26 when I meet with the surgeon! Congratulations to you on starting your new life! 

So nice to see a post like yours after a week out.  I am in the process of getting the lapband removed and having the RNY done.  Please keep us posted on your continued success!!  -Holly

Cheryl, Congratulations on the first week of your new life. Your positive attitude will carry you far in your journey. Nothing is the same as it was - thank the good Lord. Follow the rules and you will be rewarded.
