third fill
Feb 11, 2009
I haven't posted in a while so I apologize! I had my second fill on 1/29/09 of 1 cc, bringing me to 5 cc. I have found myself as hungry as ever and also had to stop working out at the YMCA. The cost of membership was a bit too steep. I found that I had also gained 2-3 pounds back! ACK!!!! I am not happy with my progress and my own motivation.
I called my surgeon to schedule another appointment and they fit me in today. He added 1.5 cc this time so I am now at 6.5 cc. I am hoping this will be my wake up call to keep me on the right track! I have plans for dinner with DH on Valentine's Day but will not indulge too much!
I'll post an update soon.

first fill today
Jan 07, 2009
Well, it was not near as bad as I expected! I did need to fast today and didn't get my fill until noon which was the worst part! I'm on a liquid diet now for the next 24 to 48 hours. I had 3 cc's in the band and he added 1 more to give me a total of 4 cc. I hope I get more restriction as my weight loss slowed way down. I am able to work out now so I'm hoping that makes a huge difference!
I normally do water aerobics but the pool is closed until 1/15 which I'm bummed about. It was a nice distraction from sweating inside! I also took over my son's Wii and bought a Wii Fit today! Watch out - I'm joining the video game revolution!
I almost feel silly now that I was nervous about getting my fill. The insertion of the IV at surgery was worse! I am also a little squeamish and unfortunately I saw that long needle when he pulled it out. Yikes!!! Thank goodness he was done! Also - I did not need to drink any barium. He just had me take a few sips of water after to make sure I could swallow okay.

working out again

This was my first week back to the gym. Yayy! It was so nice. Unfortunately the pool is being drained and I can't get back to water aerobics until January 15th. I started slow yesterday with only 30 minutes on the treadmill, some crunches on the exercise ball, and worked my arms on the circuit machines. Today I was able to go 25 minutes on the elliptical, worked on abs a little, and then did a few circuit machines too. I really feel better. I'm increasing my water and have my first fill scheduled for tomorrow. I don't want to overdo it but I'm tempted to have a nice yummy meal this evening since I'll be on liquids for 48 hours.
