Well - I fell off the wagon...  I was doing great 30 pounds lost!!  I was having my regular fills and doing great.  And then... my husband and I went on our second honeymoon!!  IT was wonderful.  4 nights with unlimited food and alcoholic beverages was not a good thing for me - it was wonderful - but not good for the weight loss.  So, when we got back, I stayed on the Dominican Diet!  I went back to the dr. 3 months later and found I had gained 8 pounds!!  It just goes to show you that if you don't follow the plan - you will gain.  So, now I'm back to better eating - got my band filled and trying to stay the course. 

Sometimes I get down because I'm losing so slowly.  I know this is how the realize band works.  And I knew it would be slow.  I also feel that slow weight loss is the best way.  I've lost 21 pounds in 2 months.  Pretty darn good.  I'm just ready for the last 100 to come off.

 I am in week 3.  I'm still eating mushy foods but have tolerated everything I've tried.  I've lost 13 pounds.  I'm looking forward to my first fill because now that the swelling has gone down, I don't feel much restriction anymore.  I felt a lot right after surgery but not anymore.  

So I am on day 3!  Still on clear liquids and doing pretty good.  I've lost 9 pounds!!!! yay me! 

I just found out that my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15!!  I am very excited and a little nervous.   Just wanted everyone to know.  If you have any suggestions or advice it would be greatly appreciated!!

So I'm trying out this blog thing just to see how it works.  Hopefully this will help me meet some people who are going through the same battle that I am.  I decided about 3 months ago to undergo bariatric surgery.  I've since decided on the realize band.  If all goes according to plan, I should have my surgery in July!!  I am very excited and a little nervous.
