now....today was a GREAT day!!!!

I went for my first post op visit with my doctor today.  I lost 14 pounds in a week and half!!!!!  I couldn't believe it!!! AND!! I am now under the 300 mark!! yay!!! 299, but it's good with me!! At least I'm back in the two's now!!! AND!!!  I can eat soft foods!!!  yay!!! no more of that liquid mess!!! I told him how yesterday was such a horrible day for me and I was having a breakdown and he said..."well, you have done very well, so leave here and go get some Wendy's chili!!!"  I got some and I was so hungry, but I couldn't believe how fast I got full from just a little bit and I don't even have anything in my band yet!   I go for my first fill on Jan 14th, but at least I can have something to eat at Christmas now and not just those liquids!!  I made it!! now I'm onto the next stage!! Thanks for the support!!! 

Congrats on the  weight loss! When do you go back to the Dr's office?

thanks!! I go back on Jan 14th for my checkup and first fill !

Keep up the good work!

14 pounds forever gone!!!  That is wonderful Kati!   You are doing great.  Everything gets so much easier when you get to soft foods.  You can do it!  Keep up the great work!

Boo

Awesome Kati, I am glad you are having a much better day today!

Yay kati!
Thats awesome :) I too got back into the two's at my post appt appointment . What a sweet feeling it is to know they are gone forever. :) I have a feeling it's going to be a good new year for us both.

Thanks!! Yes, it is a good feeling and it has given me that boost of motivation I needed after those nasty liquids!!! My goal is to lose another 15 to 20 by Jan 14th when I have my first fill.  I'm not going to stress it, but that's my personal goal!! :)    We are having Christmas parties here at school (I teach 3rd grade)...so wish me luck with all the goodies in front of me today!! I just hope someone brings cheese because at least I could have that !

Thank God for cheese! It's helped me get "real" food this last week. Good luck with the school goodies. I realized myself that although its there around me (it's my first day back ) I am not going to let anything take me off track. I have spent too much time and money ( I am self pay) getting to this point. I am hoping that me thinking all that will be enough. :) I am glad you have a goal and your feeling better :)
