The losing is continuing! Let's see....since my last post, I have had my gallbladder out, gotten through a very busy summer and have met more OH people! I got a small fill last week and it took me to 3.8 (he tried 4.0 but it didn't work out so well) and the 3.8 seems to be doing well. I'm so close to hitting the hundreds that I'm speechless!

Down, Down, Down!!!! on May 31, 2007 8:26 pm
So I got a fill on April 30. Dr. Maese (yummy!!!) took me from 3.4 to 3.8. I promptly threw up the barium that I had swallowed for the fluro and so he took me down to 3.6. In that time, I went from 232 (I had gained 10 pounds) to 211.8 (today). So, the tool works. I'm at great restriction. I mean GREAT! Some days it is REALLY, really, REALLY tight-like all of last week. Some days, like today, I can eat small portions like I'm supposed to. Maybe hormones have something to do with it....stress? Maybe I should spend some time on the Lap Band board. I really LOVE the TMB. These Texas folks are so dang funny that I almost cannot stand it. Everyone has such a great sense of humor....it's like when one of us wants to goof off for the day, everyone else will play along!!! I have promised my people on the TMB that when I hit Onderland, I'm planning a trip to the Coast --- The Texas Coast - Galveston!!! Watch girls, I'm only 11.8 pounds away!!!!! Here I come!

I had another fill last Thursday. I just haven't been able to get the scale to move and I was being able to eat a lot more than I should at a single sitting - which was usually evening time. So I went in and Dr. Maese took me to 3.6 which makes me nervous cause I feel like that is too tight. I threw up a lot over the weekend so I went back today to see it under flouro. It's fine. They say not too tight so I'll try a few more days with it like this. From Thursday to today, though I have lost 9 pounds. I was 232 on Thursday and now I'm 223. So at least I'm past my plateau?!
I need to exercise more and get the water in like all of us. But all I can do is work on it everyday!

I have needed a fill for a couple of weeks now. However, I waited until after the holidays because I didn't want to have to worry about sliming or any of the other ickyness! So today, my band is filled to 3.3ccs. I have been stuck for a while at 228-230 so I am hoping to see the scale move now! I will try to increase my protein as well!!!!

I went for my 6 month check up today and was praised by Dr. Barker and staff for my success thusfar. I was able to share successes and opportunities for improvement and they were totally supportive. It was an awesome appointment.
I like the emerging format on OH and I really am pleased with you cyber friends out there. I don't know any of you in person but it sure is cool to share daily "stuff" with you all. The struggles and the succss! You all celebrate everything and I appreciate it!
