No, it can’t be a week since my last blog?!? Maybe it is the continued conversations I have inside my head that keeps me thinking I have actually posted an update. Oh well, things happen and life goes on. This is officially week 3 after gastric band surgery and I still love it. Next week is my first fill appointment, should be an interesting experience as I am not overly fond of needles. LOL. I continue to lose weight and of course I have a spreadsheet (I am the spreadsheet queen) that tracks my weight loss. This is in addition to the Realize Band Website which is flippin’ awesome. In my spreadsheet I have the weekly average calculated; it is a little above the 2-pound per week mark. Woo!
Last night at my Mistress Meghan session (personal trainer at Health Happenings in Monroe) I did my first abdominal exercises since the surgery. Almost all of them, but couldn’t do the lower abs as the port scar/area was not happy. Oh well, the happy experience of seeing beyond my tummy as I did crunches on the exercise ball was soooooo wonderful. I may make it through this with my skin keeping up with the weight loss.
Starting weight when this all started 226.5, weighed in this morning at 211 for a 15.5 pound overall loss. Surgery day weight was 220.5, so 9.5 pounds from surgery which is a fantastic weekly average. All my clothes are loose and I am on a strict no-purchase clothing regime. I have the next size jeans waiting in my closet (from the last time I lost weight) so will tough it out for a while with loose clothing. Wow, loose clothing… YES!

'Crunches' are our friend. My wife does the Nutrisystem and works out. She is losing slowly but surely. Peace
