Well, today is 27 days post op.  I started the day before surg @ 243.5 & today I weigh 220.  I had a gastric band placed around the upper part of my stomach, which is non-adjustable.  It is really not that bad & it was least invasive of them all. ...& it was all I could afford!  I am adjusting to the fact that this is just not going to do it all for me.  My friend has RNY done 5/06 & she told me that this is a tool & we are blessed to have this.  I agree with her totally...i just wish it was easier.

I talked the RN today & she told me that I should be able to eat what I want.  I am SO scared that I am going to eat too much & it will pop off.  I told the RN this & I swear they think I am mentally off.  I can't help it...Im nervous.  

I have noticed that somethings I can eat more of & somethings I can't eat but just a bite of.  I can usually eat a cup of salad with deli cut turkey, baco's & cheese w/ ranch dressing.  I have grown really fond of chicken salad too.  I plan on starting to exercise tommorrow, so hopefully this will all work out in the long run.  My goal is 130...but hell at this point I would be thrilled with 150.
