So,  Yesterday i go for  a fill.  I  have been really concerned because I can eat whatever I want,  I mean anything,  I havent been working out since I fell down the stairs and hurt my ankle.  And anyone who knows me, knows how much I love the gym,  So I asked for 1 cc.  I had 4 cc in my band all ready,  so, I figured that was a great amount.   Long Story Short,  IT WAS A BAD DECISION.  I drank the water, and yes it was a little hard to get down but i thought that would be great,  I would start losing weight and seeing results.  Yeah some results,  I couldn't even swallow my own saliva.  I couldn't breath when I alid down and it was terrible.

This morning I went back in and they took out .75  Much better,  So just becareful, and as my Daughter says, "MOM, you cant lie to you DR,"  LOL 

I am doing very well.  i feel great,  I have been going to the gym everyday,  Using the treadmill and hating every minute but still doing it.  Does anyone know what speed I should be walking at?  i have been doing 2.5- 3.0mph, and an incline of 3% - 5%,  i don't seem to be getting my heart rate up to 112,  I really was hoping to be up around 124 - 130,  Well,  i hope everyone else is doing great,  I really want to see the scale move down quicker than it is but, like everyone says, it didn't come on overnight so it wont come off overnight.

Hey Everyone,  I'm  Alive,  I made it thru 3 days post op feeling much better, today,  I am so thrilled that  its over and most if not all the pain is gone,  Yeah I'm sore but thats nothing,  My wonderful  Dh stayed in the hospital thru the recovery and slept in a chair next to my bed,  He is a great guy,

Anyway  I guess I should fill you in on some of the details.  I have diabetes like many of you and Heart Disease, 2 stents which I have allready   mentioned, and High Blood pressure,  Well when they brought me into to surgery at 2  I was awake and talking,  I figured ok i 'll be done in an hour,  Not the case,  It took the surgical staff 3 hours to bring up my blood pressure before they could do the procedure,  Yeah 3 hours from what I understand they wanted to scrap the whole thing,  My Bp was 68/30  way to low from what /i gather,  I normally run around 110/78, so that was my excitment except for one small thing while waiting to go into surgery there was a woman there who totally freaked out and left.  I ferl really bad for her,  She was screaming and crying it was really sad.  Needless to say that bumped my surgery up a little.  All in All I have to say it was no worse than I expected and the shoulder pain is almost all gone,  Thank God.

Surprisingly I'm not nervous.  I really just want to start on  a Healthy life filled with all the opportunities life has  in store for me.   I want to thank everyone for your support and friendship.  I will keep you posted.  Thanks again.

Well yesterday I had my  pst got my final clearance from my  Dr, and I go in on Thursday,  2 days,  I thought i would be really nervous,  but so far so good,  I think I just cant wait to get it over with.  and start  living a more healthier  longer life,  I would love any advice or words of wisdom you can share, 

Well i just got off the phone,  They changed my Surgery date to   APR  2,   OMG,  1 week thats it.  I am totally freaking out in a good way.  This is the best news ever.  I have lost a total of 12 lbs on the pre op diet.  I hope thats enough,  Maybe I will lose a few more before next Thursday ,  I hope.  It would be really nice to be in the 260's.  Wellwish me luck.

I am scheduled for Apr 6,  I cant believe it.  I am so happy,  Its been a long road to get to this point,  But its only a few short weeks away.  So does anyone have any advice they want to share?  I would love to hear any tips.
