Well, it has been 1 week since my Lap-Band surgery, and I've lost 15 pounds so far on this journey... Part of the weight loss happened before the surgery, during the pre-op diet... I am pretty amazed how easily it is coming off, so far... I know some of it is just water weight, but I truly hope that the scale will continue to go down. I am currently a size 18, and am hoping by Christmas to be at least down to a 16. I also am hoping to drop about 20 pounds before Christmas. That is 2 months away, and I truly think with the proper diet monitoring, and a little exercise, that is totally do-able.
About a week before my surgery, I met a new friend named Julie online. She was having the Lap-Band surgery done the same day as me... We became fast friends online before the surgery, and really hit it off in Tijuana. The cool thing is, that we basically were the same height and weight before surgery. So we have been sharing experiences regularly, and I really enjoy talking to her. She has been super supportive and I look forward to friendship that will continue to blossom.
Today, I stopped at the mall, and went into one of my favorite stores; Steve and Barry's. I found the cutest wool blend trenchcoat from the Sarah Jessica Parker "Bitten" line. It is fully lined and well made. And it was only $20! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her line of clothing. They are fashion forward and have very clean lines... and the price is oh, so nice! I told Robert that as I drop weight, I will be buying all of my clothes from Steve and Barry's. I can afford to keep my wardrobe updated as I drop sizes, and I will look so cute!
