Just a quick update on my progress after Lap Band Surgery. I went to the lap band doctor on July 14th and had lost 11 pounds since my last visit on June 16th. Since my doctor's visit on July 14th I have lost an additional 4 pounds weighing in this morning at 292 which brings my total weight loss to 58 pounds. I didn't need an adjustment on my lap band fill as the doctor said a good weight loss each month is 3-4% of your body weight. I go back to the lap band doctor on September 14th. Physically I'm feeling great, but, mentally I still think I should be eating like I use to. Mental thoughts are the hardest to overcome. My blood pressure used to average 160/90 and last week at my semi-annual family doctor appointment it was 120/70. That is the best it's been in over 20 years. Only 67 pounds to go for my goal of 225. I don't think I'll make it by Christmas, but, I'll be close.
