So...if you notice the title of my blog...basically, it is hopefully a meltdown of how much weight I am going to lose with this Lap Band, and not as many mental meltdowns, but I'm sure we will have a few of those as well. I had lap band surgery 1/26/12 and started at 327 lbs. I started this blog in hopes that I can help others with things I've learned along the way and in turn help myself with the support I receive from others.

Still Tight, but Not Nearly Like Before...
Thanks so much to those of you that have written or commented about my recent experience of being too tight and getting stuck a lot. I am happy to report that I have been able to get more types of food down, although not all. I have been able to get my proteins in and vegetables, so I am definitely happier. I still think I might be a little too tight, but I am going to wait a little while longer to see if it stretches at all, as that has happened to me in the past. Sometimes, I have what I believe is a good restriction and then within 2 weeks, I don't have it anymore. I do know the importance of getting the right foods in and will definitely schedule for a little unfill if I don't feel a change in a week. What a journey this is, trying to find the "green zone" :) Wishing all of you success in this journey of ours!

ReplyDeleteI hope this week has been goo to you.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following my blog! Good luck to you on your journey and I look forward to following you as you greet successes and overcome challenges! I am 5 years out from my surgery and I can tell you that I consider it the best thing I ever did for myself! My life has changed in so many ways I can't even count them! I wish I would have done this years ago (although it wasn't available!!).
ReplyDeleteOnward!
