Week 1

Hello Blogosphere...

I am one week post-op.  And I must say that I have done very well... very little gas pain (anyone who has ever had laproscopic surgery knows what I'm talking about)... soreness is at a minimum.... I'm less nauseous every day... but the downside is trying to get my energy back.

I have a co-worker who had the lapband in October... surgery Friday, back to work and peppy Monday... NOT ME!!  Today was my first day back and OMG... when I got in the house, I laid on the bed and snored for an hour before I could be functional LOL

Odd thing about being at work is people have expectation of the surgery as being some miracle deal and were shocked to see that I am not insta-skinny..lol

I am pleased with my progress... I've lost 10.7 lbs since surgery LAST WEEK! Major victory for me!!   I don't know what typical progress is but I am aware that I didn't puff up overnight... and I wont lose it all overnight...

For now, I am finding new ways to enjoy liquid and pureed foods... :)  Next week I graduate to soft foods, YAY!! I am soooo ready to chew!

Anyway, that's all I got... thanks for reading!
