Today marks one month from when I had surgery or as some others call it, my one month "bandiversary." In the past day or so I've been obsessed with looking up different lap-band and weight loss surgery hashtags and reading people's stories and seeing their transformation pictures on instagram.
Even though I know the goal of this surgery is for me to lose a whopping 100 pounds, I can't really picture myself like that. I can picture myself twenty pounds from now-- which hopefully is the end of May in order for me to reach my next goal. But not 100... that just seems like such a dream and too far away.
I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, today on my one month bandiversary, I weighed and measured myself for the first time since the clear-liquid diet started three days before my surgery:
-- Down 21 lbs.
-- 3.25 inches off thighs
-- 3.25 inches off arms
-- 2 inches off waist
-- 2 inches off hips
-- 1 inch off bust (sorry, Spike) :-)
So, not too shabby, but I really have to kick up the workouts. AND!! get my band adjusted. They haven't actually put any saline into the band to make it smaller yet so I am not getting full by eating a cup of food and get hungry an hour or so later.
My next appointment is on Tuesday of next week and I'm hoping they will adjust it then so I can really get going this month and not be hungry after I eat. For the first time in a long time I'm ready to bring on summer!
Hope you have a great weekend-- will check back after my appointment on Tuesday.
