Exactly 4 weeks out and 17 pounds down!

Hello!  I thought I'd give an update.  I had surgery on 8/31.  Stayed an extra few days because of restriction issues.  The transition from liquids to solids was a little slower than some and well in the meantime I've lost 17 pounds as a result.  I weighed in at 259 at my initial meeting on 7/18.  On the day of surgery I was 246.  I woke up today at 229.  I am officially the lowest I've been in 10 years!  I made it down to 230 years ago but never got below the 230 mark.  I did it this morning! Woohoo! I'm still eating very miniscule amounts compared to the past and since I'm still losing I'm not really looking at a fill, yet.  I'm sure I will but so far, I'm not hungry, I eat for health and haven't gagged on anything for 2 weeks.  I'm a little nervous about getting a fill because I had severe restriction immediately after surgery, but it did go down. I can officially say I love the band right now! Laurel

Congrats to you Laurel on your loss!!!!
