Procrastination At It's Finest

I have always been a fan of procrastinating so this comes at no surprise to me that I have waited more than three weeks from my surgery to give an update. My surgery went well. I feel a lot better (the first week was really hard) but I am healing well. So well in fact, that I am extremely hungry all the time! I don't know how many of you experienced this but I can't seem to get full. I still have about three weeks until my first fill and I don't know if I can survive. Does it get better? Let's hope so.

Before Pictures from 2011

Comicon 2011 

I was actually the same weight I am now. After both pictures were taken, I gained over 30 pounds.

Feelin' Good

Today's weight: 272

Since I started towards the end goal of getting a lap band, my weight loss has been the best experience. This time around, I have lost more weight than previous attempts! I don't know what I am doing differently this time but I am very happy with the results. Hopefully, after being banded I will be able to continue losing weight rapidly. We will see in a 12 days how the weight loss goes. I will post pictures.

Surgery Date Locked In

I finally received that wonderful phone call from the doctor's office. I am scheduled for surgery on the 26th of the month. I am a little nervous and confused about the pre-op diet. Oh well, I will have to read all the information (which was a lot) that I received from my doctor within the next week to make sure I am ready! Wish me luck.

EGD

I have my EGD appointment on Friday and I am a little scared. I don't know about sticking a long tube down my throat!




Update 3/21-EGD went well! It was easier than I thought. I was even able to spend the day with my family shopping and having fun.
