Oh happy day:) Good morning. I just wanted to give an update and praise report! Today is 6 weeks since my surgery and I am down 29 lbs. I have went down two sizes and I feel great. My workouts are getting easier and harder at the same time because I am pushing myself more but I am able to do it.
I was a little scared of the scale this morning because I ate a little more then usual over the holiday weekend but I didn't beat myself up for it and I jumped right back on the eating right/measuring everything/logging everything/exercising plan that I have been following.
I get my first fill July 18Th and I am a little nervous about that. I do get hungry between meals but I am determined to make this band work!!!

4/10/11 Start weight 250; 5/25/11 Surgery weight 237.50

Thank you. I was having a little problem when I went back to work after having a month off post op trying to figure out how to get to the gym after work. I was making all kinds of excuses and I just stopped doing that and now I go everyday except Sunday. I do the treadmill (up to 20 minutes and increasing time again next week) and then I alternate days on the machines (upper, lower body). It all works along with eating healthy I am seeing results and it feels awesome!!!!!!
