So here I am a week post op....and I'm happy to report 7.2 pounds down.... not according to my mother though.... She doesn't know about the Band - but I did tell her I'm going on a really serious diet and that this time I plan on being successful..... her comment to me.... It will take a lot more than a few pounds to notice a difference :) Was kind of a downer I have to say....
As far as recovery.... it's pretty easy over all - I don't have any lingering pains or aches....just a few tiny cuts on my tummy - I joked around with my hubby that maybe they just make a few cuts but don't really do anything else.... just to play with your mind.... I don't actually feel banded.... which I guess is normal since I don't have restriction yet.....
I am full pretty fast, but I'm guessing that's just from being only one week post op..... Today will be pretty funny to see how I can "fake it" - going to a big Passover dinner, and will have to learn how to camaflouge my plate to look like I'm eating.....
I'm really proud of me for keeping this Band think a secret.... usually I would blaber it to anyone who would listen....but this time, I've decided to make this my own personal issue (aside from the world wide web Blog - but doesn't look like it's being read by too many either - so I think I'm safe here too :)
Happy Holidays to all my fellow bandsters :)

Congratulations!! Don't listen to any nay-sayers... 7.2 pounds is an awesome step in the right direction!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart to have kept the surgery to yourself. I was very selective in who I told, and there were many times along the way that I was glad that I'd done that.
