1 Month post-op!
Nov 09, 2008
Well, it's hard to believe but it has been a month since I had my band done and I feel almost good as new. I've noticed some things have changed, for the best.
I'm walking more than ever. Today I walked twice, the first time I did 2.5 miles on the bike trail near my house and the second I walked about 1.5 miles. So I'm very excited because that means I'm getting healthier and I'm more active which will help with my weight loss.
I haven't noticed much problem with foods, I am just really careful!
I'm hoping to keep walking more and more so I can walk the Flying Pig marathon in Cincinnati next May.
Today my neice's Tamara and Krissy came with my Great Nephew, Tony. It made me feel really good because Tamara told me that my face was lookin alot thinner and that I looked younger even! It was a real ego boost!
So, I feel really good, I'm looking a little better and so until next time.......

I had been having some pain in my abdomen but he assured me it was my port and nothing to worry about, I feel better now.
I've noticed today how my shirt that I last wore before surgery is NOT tight anymore, the arms are actually not tight and my arms are looking a lot slimmer. I did however forget to ask about exercising other than walking, so I'd like to know when it's safe to life weights or do toning exercises. Anyone want to chime in on this is welcome to. So, I'm feeling better than I have in a long time and totally excited and feel blessed! Oh and Dr. Teel said he may not even have to fill me at 4 weeks because I'm having no hunger at all!
I am actually losing!

The gas is not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is at times uncomfortable. I walked around the block today, with the help of my mom. My sister and my kids have been helping too.
I am not sure if I will be going back to work day after tomorrow, I just think it might be too soon. School is questionable too, but at this point I'm going to take it one day at a time!
Today is my first day on OH
