Post-Op Weight Loss

Finally the weight is coming off. I was banded on 1/4 (6 days ago) and in the time I have lost around 12 lbs. I am so excited. If my average holds, tomorrow I will be under 200 lbs. I know this is a much more difficult task and many have been over 200 lbs for longer than me. But years ago I told myself I would never go over 200 lbs and last year I did. So to be back under 200 lbs is a great feeling!!! I know I will feel even better at below 150 but one milestone at a time.

I feeling pretty good. I can eat and drink (liquids only) really well. The only problem is I have been off of work for a week and the only thing on TV that interests me is the food channel so I have all these crazy cravings. I think I feel like if I can't eat I can at least look at it or dream of the meals I will eat when I am back to normal food.

I think my only real issue is that what I do eat goes right through me within a half an hour. I know I shouldn't be discussing this but it is worth mentioning. Nobody has spoken of this problem so I am wondering is it just me? I guess I will be going to the bathroom a lot tomorrow at work. Hope nobody notices...
