2nd Fill.....

Oct 26, 2009

Well i got 1.5 cc added to my band on 10/23/09. So that makes 3.5 cc in a 10 cc band.  I still really dont feel that much restriction as i was hoping for.  But i will make it work.  At this point I have been able to go to the gym and actually get in a really good workout.  I am jogging on the treadmill up to 15 minutes at 5.0mph.  Also after a quick workout wiith weights i have taken up swimiming and i love it.  I am able to swim up to 24 laps so far, that is 3/4 of a mile.  I really feel great after getting out of the pool. 

I really have to concentrate on my diet more as i have been stuck at the 320- 325 lb. mark for the past 6 weeks.  Hopefully now with the new fill, i can eat on a regulated path.   

A tip for newbies..... I find that if i have coffee in the morning it helps me not eat for a while.  Problem with that is that when you do that you dont get your protein in and your body may slow its metabolism.  Plus, you will be starving and probably make some bad decisions on your next meal.   Solution..... I mix a scoop or 2 with skim milk.  After the protein mix is dissolved in the milk, i then add the coffee.  So now you have your coffee and 30 -60 grams of protein, depending on your protein brand.   I use Weider whey protein powder, vanilla from Walmart.  It is about $14 a container and lasts a long time.  26 grams of protein per scoop.   Good Luck.
