Two weeks out..

Two weeks out and things are really going well since my surgery. I know I've lost some weight, but I have decided not to step on a scale until my surgical follow-up appointment on July 22nd.

I think the hardest part of this has been learning how to eat. At times I choose something wrong, or have eaten it too fast, but those are learning experiences and in each case the band has done it's job and reminded me of what and how I am supposed to eat.

Now that things are healing I'm able to eat more than two ounces, which mentally is tough because I actually enjoyed the restriction. However as it's an adjustable band, it will be adjusted and restrict my food intake at my next appointment. I'm looking forward to it and looking forward to finding out how much I will lose in my first month. And with football season starting today (well at least our preseason camp) it should really help me drop those pounds.
