ONE WEEK BANDIVERSARY

So it was yesterday and I totally missed getting to blog about it. Yesterday, was my oldest son's birthday - he turned 11. But it wasn't a very great day for him, poor thing woke up with strep throat. So needless to say I spent two hours getting him to the dr. - strep test, flu test, antiobiotic shot (so we could still do his party this weekend out of town) and then the waiting period to make sure there was no adverse reaction to the shot. What a bummer way to spend his b-day! But he is feeling much better and we are taking him and some friends to Charlottesville, VA this weekend to the UVA/Va Tech Basketball game. Should be fun!!

Okay - now to the good stuff:

Highest Weight 331 (August of 2009 ish)

Pre-Op Diet Start Weight 311.6

Surgery Weight 300

Wait for it, Wait for it......

Week One - 290

Total lost during lapband process - 21.6 --- yippee!

And mushies were great today --- cream of wheat,  mashed potatoes and refried beans!! Yummy!!

  8. Yeah for mushies!

    Boo for strep throat on his birthday! My youngest was sick on Christmas evening this year. As soon as we walked into her aunt's house, she had to run to the bathroom to throw up!

    You are losing weight like a maniac! Great job!
