Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Shortly After Second Fill...
I went for my second fill on October 9. Dr. Fielding did not want to give me the fill because he said that he didn't see it was necessary because I lost 7 lbs since September 18 (first fill). I insisted on a small fill. He gave me just 1 cc.

I guess I could stand to feel better about the loss but the truth is I could have done better.

I found out that chicken nuggets are a no no now. Today I got miserably stuck on 1 chicken nugget. This fill is restrictive. Funny; one thing that I was expecting in terms of having this surgery was restrictiveness by way of feeling full. I'm told that restriction is that which i've just described.... where you get stuck on things. Maybe i'm wrong - not sure yet.

I'm down to 219 now. From 239 when I started the liquid pre op diet.

I'm glad about it; but I need to get the exercise in and stop bitching already. Oh yeah and I have to stop eating the occasional ice cream; though Dr. Fielding said it was fine, so long as I wasn't having an entire pint.

Until next time.

I am SO looking forward to restriction! I just got banded by the same surgical practice (Dr. Ren was my surgeon). I'm almost 3 weeks out. NO restriction whatsoever and hold habits are creeping back. You look great in the photo and I'm sure you still look great. You're down to 219 - I'm trying to get where you are! LOL! You're doing great. Keep up the good work.
