I went to the surgeons today..they took .5 cc out and what a difference it made..I have been on soft foods most of the day and haven't had any issues. The surgeon said I can start out on solids tomorrow and see how it goes. We shall see how I do with solids and go from there. I just wanted to give a quick update and let everyone know how I was doing. Thanks everyone.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give an update. I finally found out what size realize band I have which is 9 cc's. At my last visit in May..I reached the amount of 9 cc's..should I be worried about this? I had loss a significant amount of restriction so I got my appointment that was orginally scheduled for the 27th moved to the 13th..and she put in 1 cc. well 7 days later..I'm getting stuck on air..lol not literally but I'm getting stuck very easily so with that comes with vomiting so I've been freaking out. I was in so much pain yesterday it was ridiculous and I didn't really eat much at all. I may ask to get an xray scheduled just to check to make sure I didn't do any permanent damage to my band. I have pretty much been living on pudding and broth the past few days. I would attempt to eat a little protein and then get stuck so I finally just gave up. I have an appointment setup for tomorrow I'm hoping they will only take out about .5 cc so I don't go back to where I was before.My appointment is with a different surgeon, I have never met him so I'm hoping the appointment goes well and he doesn't recommend taking the whole fill out. We shall see what comes about. I will keep everyone posted.

Hey everyone, so today is my 10 month bandiversary! I'm super excited only 2 months before I'm 1 year out..its crazy how fast the time has been going. I have lost a total of 110 lbs..I have been having a lot of NSVs lately! I have been getting compliments at work.people that I don't even talk to have been saying "wow you have lost so much" "you look so great" They don't know I have had WLS which I like to keep it that way...clothes are starting to actually fit again..no more having to deal with that SAG-saggy ass syndrome. I never have NSV's until now so I'm boasting just a little bit.. I used to work at Lane Bryant so during the time I worked there I bought a lot of clothes. I was about a 22 when I started working there and left being around a 26/28..so yes I packed on the pounds this was over a 2 year period just so everyone knows..lol. so I have so many clothes varying in these sizes. The day I was banded I was fitting into a tight 30 and now I'm fitting comfortably into a 24 depending on the jean type so I'm super excited. So I like the right fit jeans that LB have a lot so I have sizes ranging from 8 to 5 so I bought the 8's in about May where they were a little snug..I tried on the 7's just a few weeks ago just to see how they were going to fit and they fit very well..here it comes today so I decide I might as well just try on a 6 just to see how much more I may need to lose to get them buttoned..haha. I do this a lot with clothes its kinda the way I measure myself without using the tape measurer. So I tried them on and they fit perfectly!!!!! I have an ass now.lol.. It usaully just looks loose and saggy because I never have jeans that fit properly. I was estatic! I did a little happy dance..lol.  At first I wasnt losing clothing sizes so I started getting discouraged, but now its the complete opposite. I have been keeping steady on my weight loss but I've been losing inches rapidly which I can live with. I have been tyring to workout at least 3 days a week on my days off going to the gym for about an hour and half each of those days. As far as my eating I have been kinda slacking. I have been so hungry it seems and I have a little bit loss of restriction..I think I a need a little tweak so I have an appt setup on the 27th. I will try to keep this updated more..I have been steering away from the board lately..I honestly don't know why.  I post soon enough most likely after my appt on the 27th...thanks for reading. Sorry this is so long. Good night everyone.
