Blessed to Be Banded

Mar 14, 2009

Hello!

 I just wanted to share that since my last post, I am officially BANDED and have already lost 19.6lbs since starting Medifast one week prior to surgery!

 I have been doing wonderfully!  When I started Medifast on March 2nd, I weighed 229.8lbs.  On surgery day, I weighed 218.0lbs.  Today, 5 days post-op, I weigh 210.4lbs.!  Woo Hoo for the band!  I have gone from a BMI of 37.1 on March 2, 2009 to a BMI of 34 on March 14th!  Crazy....and wonderful...

 Nothing is going to hold me back now...not the PCOS...not anything. 

 Tonight was my first time "eating out".  I did really well...only eating small bits of the soft foods.  But I will tell you, I definitely felt the band doing its' job.  When my stomach was full - IT WAS FULL!  There are no two ways about it.  I COULD NOT take another bite.  It seemed crazy, since I had only eaten only a little over 1/2 cup of food!!! 

 Finally, I feel as though my hard work, discipline and perserverance will not be for nothing.

 Anyway...My prayers to all, that you will be able to find the tools that you are looking for.  I am so, so blessed to have been able to be banded...
