Post-Op :)

So today I am 12 days post-op. The pain is gone, the dressings and steristrips came off on day 3. Its all looking food! Only 2 days until I can start my soft diet, I'm so looking forward to being able to chew something. I would have been on a liquid diet for four weeks on 26th. I have not been feeling very hungry but have in the last few days leading up to starting mushies.

I can no longer feel or hear fluids or food going through the band now so the swelling must had reduced a lot. Today my weight is 19st 10lb! Just 4lb more then I have shed 2 stone! I have never been able to get below 17. When that day happen, I will have a party! ;)

I am part of a fantastic weight loss surgery forum called wlsurgery.com They have sections for the gastric band, bypass, gastric plication and sleeve.

I have an appointment for my first band fill on the 17th august, in which they will assess my weight and probably put 1ml of fluid taking me up to 5ml in my 4ml band :)

So I started at 21st 6.8lb and I am now 19st 10lb. Quite a quick and rapid weight loss but I am prepared for it to slow down when I start eating solid food and even prepared for a possible gain while my body adjusts. I just really can't wait until I notice I'm getting smaller and I need to get smaller clothes :)
