I am 5 days post op and I am doing great. My doctor encouraged me to excercise every day after the surgery. I was able to walk two miles today with Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds.   I am looking forward to weighing 250lbs.. I haven't weighed this much since the 1990's. I see goal setting as a big part of my life now, it feels good when you see the accomplishments.

I am happy, but I can't believe it's over.. I finally had the surgery. All of the doctor's and nurses and at Deaconess Hospital were great. I loved the anesthesiologist the most.. all I remember was telling him how my 4th of July went and the next thing I knew the nurse said.. it's all over.

When I finally came to, the only issues I had was an uncomfortable feeling across my upper back and the nurse indicated that it was gas. I have been walking to alleviate the gas pains, but for some reason the ice pack works better. The surgery site doesn't bother me as much as my upper back. I have had to take my pain medicine every 4 hours on the dot.

I had my procedure done at the surgery center.. I was there from 9:30-2:30 pm. The surgery started at 10:30 on the dot and I had to arrive 1 hour earlier.

Day 2: Today I have been able to get in most of my liquids and some protein (beneprotein) mixed in with my broth.

Thanks to every one that has blogged me.. I really appreciate it & God Bless you

Hi All,

I am currently less than a week away from my surgery date (7/6). Right now, I am on a semi-liquid diet  anxiously waiting for Monday to roll around. The optifast diet isn't too bad. I can have 7 of the products daily. I chose 3 soups 3 shakes and 1 bar. The tomato soup is pretty good. The bar was not that great, the strawberry shake is okay (make sure you shake before drinking), so far I like the vanilla shake the best. I have already lost 5lbs., and Sunday before the surgery I will be on a clear liquid diet.

Finally, I have been approved for surgery. I am little anxious to start my liquid diet eight days before surgery, I don't want to mess anything up. I am going to take my time. I have a little over a month to get everything organized.


You can do it... 37 days to go and counting....

I am still excercising daily, sometimes twice a day. I have been able to maintain my current weight and am happy. I am looking forward to meeting the surgeon on May 29th.

I have been approved for lapband surgery. Today I scheduled my appointment with the surgeon (Christopher Haughn) for May 29th. I am currently 265 and I need to stay the same weight or continue loose weight for my goal weight before the surgery.

Go Dixie chic go!! you can do it!
