So, just came back from my doctor for my 10 day check-up. I am down a total of 21 lbs.!!! Needless to say, I am dumbfounded. To be honest, after trying every diet know to man kind, I was skeptical this would work. I am a food addict. I was sure that I would find ways to cheat. This lapband is fool proof. You feel so full after a few bites that the desire to eat just goes away. Every other diet, I thought of food all day long...I was starving. I cryed and thanked God yesterday. I finally am free from food. I ate 532 calories today and right now I feel like after Thanksgiving! So here are today's pictures....

5 days Post-op

Feeling a little weak having only clear liquids since last Friday.  Will start protein shakes this Friday.  My incisions are healing well. House is falling apart some, but able to keep up with kids homework and schedules.  This being my only real goal.  As with the hysterectomy, this has been more painful and restrictive than I was expecting...but over-all will be the best thing for my health. Thanks for the prayers. I will be posting pictures EVERY Monday.  So look forward to seeing me shrink! :)
