2weeks Post Op

Well, here I am 2wks post-op from Lap Band surgery and I just had my post op appointment. The nurse seems to be pretty please with my progress and I have lost 6.0lbs since the start of my journey. My starting weight was 220 lost 2lbs prior to surgery(had to shrink my liver) so starting weight at time of surgery was 218 and now I am 214 two weeks later so I think I am pretty please with that. Although, I must confess when I first went in and got weighed I was on my cycle then and I think I might of had some extra water weight but hey I guess it only matters what is on the scale. I was kinda of hoping for a little more weightloss but once again the nurse reminded me that the first month is not really about weightloss it is more about the healing process. I did get to get my first fill date which will be the 30th of September. I am pretty excited about that and I think next month I'll see more progress in the weightloss area. I think most women really don't see much weightloss until wks6-8 so I think so far I am on the right track.  I would like by the end of the year to be at least 30-45lbs down. So that would put me at 214-30=184lbs or 214-45=169lbs Wow, and what is so great that is it totally possible to get there! I really think the is one of the best things I've ever done for myself and I am so excited to see the new me. I've even got the new jeans picked out in my head that I'll be wearing and when I feel a little down I just go online and look at them and it perks me right up. The nurse has given the me the go ahead to start a walking program so this morning I went for a 1.5mile walk and I am dragging out the treadmill for the rainy days coming up this winter and since I live in Washington we see a lot of those...lol. but I figured I would take advantage of the nice weather while it was here.   Well, I think that is about it for now. Will update more later or as things change.  I pray success to everyone trying to lose those extrapounds. Until next time... Theresa WA
