Basically, I rock
Or that's what she meant. I had a follow-up with the surgeon's office today. Didn't see the doc himself, but the CNP was thrilled. 20 lbs down fully dressed and on a full stomach. When they weighed me in the hospital, I was in a gown with an empty stomach, so the real loss is a little less than 23, at least that's what it is on my very accurate digital scale, first thing in the morning and without clothes. She said the incisions looked good and I was healing fast. She said I could go back to Curves next week.
I have a Vanguard (AP) band, which holds 11 cc's. Didn't find out about my liver since they accidentally brought the wrong charts from his hospital office to his suburbs office where I was seen.
My first fill will be the last week of November, if I need one. They suggested Thanksgiving week, but no thanks! The 23rd is my b'day and I'm cooking for a crowd on Turkey Day itself. I don't intend to overeat that week, but I sure don't want any trips to the ER at Bayview in the middle of all that activity. I still seem to have some restriction from the surgery. Though I can get more than a quarter cup down, when it's something like soup, can't do much more than that with thicker mushies.
Yeehaw!
That's great Edie!!!

Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
