2 weeks @ 198 ... but first fill is tomorrow!

Feb 09, 2009

I feel like Little Orphan Annie singing the Tomorrow song.  It's only a day away!  

I remember visiting my surgeon in the days before surgery and hearing from other women in the waiting room talking about how many pounds they'd lost since surgery ... and they were awaiting their first fill.  Two reported 15 pounds, one at 25 and one lost 30.   There did seem to be a connection between who looked the biggest and who reported losing the most. 

Although my starting weight may have been closer to the number of pounds the heaviest woman wanted to lose ... I admit to having hopes to lose more like 25 or 30 pounds before the first fill.   Hurrah for my losing 16 pounds though.  Last night my son and daughter-in-law said the weight loss was apparent to them.  My black jeans were indeed loose and that's an achievement.  Days before surgery, I couldn't comfortably wear those jeans. 

My husband and I attended the wedding of our nephew this weekend.  It was a beautiful Scottish wedding followed by an elegant reception and dinner dance at a country club.   I wore a new size 16 black dress and though I surely did not pass up on the wonderful food (just ate much less than usual), I think I danced off the extra calories.  Sure would have been nice to be back in a size 10 again.  Sigh.  One day at a time though.

Tomorrow is my first fill!   Perhaps this will get me into the groove to continue loss at 1-2 pounds per week.  I hope so!
