Today was my 4 week follow-up with my surgeon. I have lost 11 lbs to-date! .2 lbs will bring me to a total of 60 lbs gone! Don't worry, I will let you know when I hit that milestone.
Doc D was VERY pleased with my progress and the minute he walked in, he remarked how 'skinny' I look! I just laugh because, really, I have been fat so long, that word just doesn't compute. I have been stuck at 153 lbs for 2 days now and I am just waiting for 152.8 to show up so I can celebrate 60 lbs. I cannot wait for that.
Other than that, he wants to see me in two months. We really just chatted for 15 minutes and he just kept asking me if I was happy I did the revision. I am. No two ways around it. If my weight ends up right here, I would be very happy. As it is, my goal is only 3 lbs away!
Next Wednesday I will be leaving for a week on Long Island to be with my girls. Steve and Brutus are staying home as we have a one week vacation with my whole family planned on the OBX of NC in Aug so I am giving him a break in July! Aren't I a good wife? I just have to make sure i leave him with stuff to eat for dinner. I will be working on that this weekend. The last thing Steve needs is to lose weight while I am gone like he did in January.
My exercise routine is back to normal. I am getting to the gym 4 days this week and I was there 4 days last week. I even went to a spin class yesterday and I hadn't been to one of them since the being of June. Next week I will start incorporating a VPS/TRX class. I feel so much better when I exercise. I am also loving my BodyBugg. It really helps to keep me motivated to keep moving. I love seeing the black number in the "calorie deficit" box at the end of the day.
All in all, I am 100% back to normal since having surgery on 6/17. I am so happy that I did it and I am even more happier that it is behind me! I would highly recommend it to anyone who was having issues with their band!

You sound happy and motivated! I'm glad that you're feeling great and losing the weight!
Happy that you are making progress and that you are fully healed! I do miss your morefrequent posts though:(
Exellent news!! Can you do a post on what and how you're eating... I am so curious. Besides, this is good info to know so that if my band were ever to need removing, perhaps I'd move next to the sleeve.
