Two weeks post op

Today has been two weeks since my lap band surgery. I am down 21 lbs since May 11 and I have lost 15 inches:)  I have been going to the gym and walking on the treadmill and doing light arm exercises. I got to start soft food so I had a yummy scrambled egg with melted cheese and pureed salsa this morning. I get my stitches out in the morning and hopefully I will be cleared to swim in my pool. I have two more weeks off of work and floating in the pool sounds lovely.
Well I hope everyone has a great day and I am off to the gym.

Congrats to you !!! Stitches I have seen several posts these last few days of getting stitches out . I never had to do that, I had some kind of tape over me and it just slowly melted away or whatever you want to call it lmao.

Oh you lucky girl a pool. I had a inground pool when I was a kid and loved it so much. I really miss it. I love the water and to swim . Wish my backyard was big enough for one after todays weather we need it yikes. 100 degrees here today and that is not counting heat index :o(

Eggs sound so good right now! I am 1 week out of surgery and because of excess swelling, I have been ordered to be on ANOTHER CLEAR liquid week...that will make 3 weeks of basically water and nasty protein shakes.  I am so excited to be able to eat something that sounds good!

Congrats to you on beginning your journey AND your weight loss.  Great attitude and start with exercise.  Keep us posted!

 Congratlations, you're hard work is paying off! I hope your momentm just pshes you along and keep giving you happy results!

omgeee. that is so amazing!! Good for you! you must feel awesome right now!

We share banded dates! I was banded on the 25th as well and have also lost 21 pounds since May 13 (the first day of my two week liquid only diet). I've also lost several inches although I have no idea how many and I could kick myself for not measuring prior to dieting and surgery but NONE of my clothes fit.. Even my "skinny" clothes! Whoo hoo! 

I didn't get stitches either.. just tape and had horrid pain where my port is for a while. Still dealing with it but I'll live. Light exercise and eating mushies and stuff... I have done poached eggs lately but getting tired of the mess so a scrambled with salsa and cheese sounds YUMMY.
