One Week Anniversary

This time last week, I was checking in to Mobile Infirmary for my lap band, and so far, everything is going well.  I can get back to normal activities (except exercising) today, and I get to move out of the clear liquid stage to full liquids - Yay!  I had a 4 oz yogurt smoothing for breakfast, and will probably try some tomato soup for lunch.  I'm feeling about 85% back to preop health -- just need to rest from time to time and have to be careful with lifting -- and I'm down 20 pounds (including what I lost during my 10 day preop diet). 

Going to the mall with my 16 year old daughter to finish Christmas shopping today -- that should also burn quite a few calories, ha! -- but I will bring a good book with me in case I need to just find a place to park my carcass for a while and rest -- I am so not planning to hurt myself by overdoing it!

That is good you have lost 20 lbs. Walk awhile and rest awhile. Let her go off shopping.You take care. Ellen

Sounds as though you are doing awesome!!!!!  Be careful shopping.  You may seriously get tired.  Please keep us updated on your progress.  You go!!!!!!!   I am so happy for you!!!!!
