Well it has been a little over a month since I had my
Lap-Band revision. I have to say the
first week I did really great and lost a few pounds then life got back to
normal. At this point I am really about
right where I started. I had to go in
yesterday for a check-up and I have to say I was a little hesitant since I knew
that the scale doesn’t lie and it wasn’t going to be kind to me and lie to make
me feel better. As I walked in and the
gorgeous September sun shown on my face I got thinking how my clothes actually
seem to be fitting better, some recent labs had shown some good signs of positive
change. So when I checked in I thought,
what do I have to be stressed about??? I am so blessed! I have opportunities to help me get
healthier, I have friends and family who are willing to help me and darn it,
this time the journey might go slower but I am going to enjoy the journey this
time. I met with Laurie and she is so
sweet and reassuring. She was happy with
my progress. She reminded me that the
day of surgery Dr. Rohrschibe took out a cc of insulin. My response was I have 3 still in there I
thought so shouldn't I feel more restricted?? She said nope, Jane you have
like 1/3 of a cc currently in your band. WHAT???? I have been doing pretty good with no
help? Hot Dogs!!! So she put in 1 cc of saline and told me that
I am a rock star and I will achieve all of my goals and just be patient that it
isn’t going to be as fast this time, but that is okay. I will go back in a month and get another fill if I feel that I need it. I love that I am in charge of my care!
In the
past month I have tried to work on the entire me. I have been reading a couple of books,
looking for ways to be inspired and sway away from drama. I have always had a hard time saying no and I
am starting to get a little better about that and not feeling as guilty about
it. In October Tony and I are headed to
Florida for a wedding and sure I may not have a beach body but I know that we
will have a great time together enjoying the beach. I have a couple of goals that I want to achieve
before I go. I am going to work hard to
achieve them but if it doesn’t happen I can know that every step is on the path to a better
lifestyle.
I
appreciate the support I have gotten to this point and if I can help you please
don’t ever hesitate to ask! Jane
