So I haven't been on for a long time.  I guess I've been really busy.  Since surgery things have been going pretty well.  I'm now down 70 pounds and I'm feeling great.  I'm so excited to reach my first big goal which is 100 pounds down, I can't believe I only have 30 more pounds to go!!  It's pretty amazing how much life has changed.  I'm still in shock a little I think I can't believe it's really working and I'm excited to know that I will finally reach my weight loss goals. 

Today is my one month celebration.  I started the OPTIFAST diet exactly one month ago today, and I’m happy to report that I’m already 27 pounds down J  How great is that?  So excited!!!  Put up new pictures which I plan to do each month until I reach goal weight, this way I can really see my progress.  I can already see a difference in my face, and in the picture with my shirt on I can really see a difference.  I love it and I can’t wait for more to fall off J

Today was my two week post op check up everything went well, got my staples out yesterday!!!  Felt so good to sleep without them pinching or catching, and it felt even better to have a real shower this morning :)  I’ve been eating some soft foods finally now too, which is a nice change and I finally know what full feels like.  It’s kind of a great feeling actually.  I’m a little worried that I might be eating too much, and hope I don’t put on any weight from this point until my first fill, which will be in about 4 weeks from now.  I’m currently sitting at about 23-26 pounds down depending on the day.   I still feel sleepy all the time, I need to start some activity.  I don't know if anyone is reading my Blog or not but if you've had the Lap Band surgery Let me know, I'd really like to talk to some people who have had Lap Banding done.  Now that the staples are out I can't wait to get back to the gym and tanning :) 

Just had Lap Band Surgery done on January 22nd, 2008.   I was the first person in Manitoba to have it done here.  Got the call Jan8th, 2008 advising me that I'd be starting the liquid diet that night, came home stepped on the scale and weighed my self....I'm 358 pounds my very heaviest…took my profile pictures and had my first shake for supper.  Here we go, the start of my new life.  The two weeks of Optifast wasn’t too bad.  I never had an urge to cheat once; I think it was because I knew if I did they may not be able to do the surgery. In those two weeks I lost a total of 20 pounds…I guess that’s what happens when you don’t get to eat anything.  Going into surgery I was 338 pounds…The surgery went super!!!!!! I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling since the nurse told me it was done.  I'm so happy, I can't wait to see the results:)  I'm so excited to start my new life.  The only issue I have is I'm getting a little sick of all this liquid diet.........It's been a month since I've had solid food.  Was anyone else as hungry as I seem to be?  I'm scared.......scared to eat anything worried that the band will move, worried that I might mess something up.  YIKES!!!!!!!!!  I have my first post op meeting tomorrow, I'm a little scared not sure why, but I am.
