One week post-op and new followers!

Hello to all of you who are now following my blog! Isn't Amy W. great? I would like to follow your blogs as well, but there are a few that I'm not able to link to; please post your address in comments. I'd love to read about how everyone is doing.

It is officially one week since I've been banded and I feel good today. Although I did not have very much pain after surgery, I was a bit sore. During those first few days I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. That's all gone now and I get to remove my bandages tomorrow. I'm going to wait until Saturday though as I'm a bit scared to see what's hiding beneath those strips.

So after a bit of mulling I stepped on the scale today (first time since surgery). I wasn't sure how I would react if I had gained, but wouldn't have been too bothered if I had not lost any. I'm down a few pounds, and just 4 pounds away from my second goal of 270. Today is also the first day that I've felt a bit hungry, I'm starting to fantasize about the scrambled egg I'll be able to have next Tuesday. I'm still in the full fluid stage and get to move to puréed foods next week. Can't wait!
