Update!

Apr 25, 2010

So I'm about 3.5 weeks post surgery and I'm feeling pretty great. I'm down a total of  17 pounds! I've also started doing (modified) P90X... He he it's something I NEVER thought I'd be doing! The workouts are intense but good. And the nice thing is it's all done at home so there's no worrying about what people are thinking. I know that's one major reason I don't go to the gym! 

I think I'm healing abnormally fast, I still have no pain, and I can eat almost anything. I'm not trying to break the rules but I honestly feel like I'm back to pre-surgery! It scares me a bit as I REALLY don't want to eat like I used to, it's the reason I had the surgery! 

When I went to my surgeons seminar, prior to surgery, there were previous patients that we could ask questions and see about their experience and they were all above average weight loss... Now I want to know what they did! I know 17 pounds is WAY more than I've ever lost on any other diets in 4 weeks, but 15 of those pounds came in my first week post op, now it's slowed WAY down. Is this normal? If anyone else out there who's had the lapband reads this, I'd love to hear about your first few months and how they went... Did you lose really quickly or did you not lose much until your first fill, second fill, later? 

I read bunches of stories here and watched many youtube videos prior to surgery that were awesome! 70 pounds in 3 months, 65 in 3 months, 50 etc. So I'm wondering if they lost all 70 pounds in the first month or later in the 3 months... I know I shouldn't compare and I'm probably just sounding like I'm complaining, but that's not it at all. I've never personally known anyone who's gone through this surgery so there's not really anyone I can call to ask! So thank you to all of you here, it's been an awesome help to have OH to turn to. 

Now I'm rambling! It's bedtime, good night to you all, and I hope you have an incredible day tomorrow!
