As you know I had an unfil before I left for Brazil... It was all happy and dandy... I came back and went back on the regime to lose the extra vacation lbs... I also went ot the dentist because of an abscess and had to take penicillin... 24 hrs later I had a rash, my band felt like it was closed, I puked everything and got very scared it was a band slip... I called Danielle at the office (an angel!) and saw her in the morning... I had an Upper Gi and it was not so horrific as people say (although I puked that too) She washed out my pouch and took .4 out until my infection goes away... I now only have 2.5 on my 4.5 band... I used to have 3.2 so I am quite deflated! I plan to lose weight even with less restriction... I was SO scared because I do not have $$$ for another surgery since I am still paying for the lap band... God is GOOD, I am OK, my band is OK... do not ignore symptoms... you need to care for your band at all times.... This morning I was 174.5...but I have not eaten in 2 days... I hope to keep it down and lose more... I want to be 155ish soon... My goal is anywhere under 160... I can do it! So can you! XOXOXOXO

But it is OK, I am working it off and I lost 3 lbs already... so soon I will be down to 174 (my lowest so far)... Also, we bought a juicer and I plan to be very healthy this summer...
We cannot forget that on top of eating anything I wanted without a concern for calories or WW points, I have less fuid in my band (minus .3) since I was so tight... I need to learn its new level of restriction...
Everyone was very nice about the new me... it felt really great!
XOXO
