OMG, OMG, OMG I'm loving my band

[poppy10]

Hi everyone,

9 days since my band was fitted and in total since starting the pre op diet (2 weeks prior to surgery) I have lost 22lb. I feel sick with excitement!

Yesterday and today have been great days for feeling good and more back to my normal self, which I am pleased about as I go back to work tomorrow...so looking forward to it.

It hasn't all been easy though as I had such a bad cough the day after my op which lasted 4-5 days and was agony at the time and it caused a few 'bad' days in terms of going through the 'have I done the right thing' moments. Now of course that I am back to being my old self I know that this has so been the right thing to do.

Yesterday was really funny my other half asked where my bottom was disappearing too as my trousers already looked too big.

Following this comment I'm already starting to clear out my wardrobes to make space for my new clothes and the drawers ready for lots of feminine underwear...no more boulder holders for me in around 3 months...that is a dead cert...I am a woman on a mission to get this weight off now!!!

Hope you are all doing good; I've lots of posts to read as I haven't been round for a few days.

Lots of love

I've turned into a bit of a shopaholic recently, but in my defence I have a lot of making up to do! I've had years of horrible shopping trips and buying things that fit and look semi ok, where as now I buy it because I love it and it looks really good!

i am with you guys on the whole new wardrobe thing although i am biding my time buying a few things off ebay as i go down a size i figure i will buy myself a whole new wardrobe when i have lost all i want to lose!!

Thank you for this, really great timing - got my pre-op nurses appointment tomorrow for my banding next month, and swinging between utterly excited and utterly terrified *lol* Am really looking forward to it now, through good and bad x
