FIRST WEIGH IN!

The results are in! I am down 14 LBS since start of diet. Seven of those pounds have been since surgery last Friday. 'WEIGH' TO GO!! Very encouraging!

NSV: aka Non-Scale Victory: those little achievements that just can't be measured in pounds. As in, "I can climb stairs now without huffing and puffing; that's an NSV for me!"
PB'ing: aka 'Productive Burping': when something gets stuck above your band and you 'burp' it back up. Yuck. We all want to avoid this.
