Well, today I went in for my first fill and was so happy that my doctor and nurse were so impressed with my progress. I am way ahead of schedule and am down 62 total and I feel amazing! After many praises, it sank in that my doc and nurse are proud that I stuck to my decision to go with the band when they pushed bypass from the beginning. THAT is progress for me. THAT is what drives me in this. Dont get me wrong, losing the weight has all been amazing but it is victories like that, proving to others what I knew I was capiable of doing and that is creating the statistics that they said werent possible with patients as heavy as I started out. When my doc was doing my fill he had me elevate both knees off the table to locate my port which was far deeper than I would have ever imagined. I held my legs out for probably 25 seconds or so as he pressed around to find my port, located it told me I could relax my legs then smirked when he said.. you do a faboulous leg lift by the way. All I could do was giggle. I then asked him if I could return to weight training and he gave me clearance and I am super excited to try a new POWER class at my girlfriends gym which is choreographed weight training to music. I will add that to my three hours of zumba a week. Im super excited! I can feel a difference in my band, its difficult to explain. No pain, no discomfort it is just tighter feeling. Im on liquids for the day and return to a regular soft diet tomorrow. I couldnt be happier! It has been a great day!
