Well I am now at a 4.5, I had my band filled again on the 6th of this month and boy was I in for it. I was just fine before I went and got the fill but after that everything went down hill. For 12 hours straight I couldn't even swallow my spit  yes you read it right my on Slobber. It was just crazy I was sick for a whole 12 hours not able to even get a cup of tea in my belly. I thought to myself what the HECK have I done to myself. RESTRICTION RESTRICTION RESTRICTION IS ALL i COULD HEAR GOING OVER AND OVER IN MY MIND. Why did I open up my big mouth and tell my doctor that I wasn't feeling any. So now the good side of it is that the next morning I felt great and did well with drinking and eating I can feel the R word pretty good now. In a month or so I will go back and have another 5 cc put in. Whew it is hard work at this band thing. I wish I would have just gotten the sleeve.

Well I guess I just can't figure this lap band thing out at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My weight is going all over the place up and down back and forth. Today I got on the scale and I gained 4 pounds Im just like the dang smily face WTH. I go to the gym everyday and work out extra hard. Im so sad today and almost wish I never got this darn band. And on top of that my boyfriend is pulling at my heart strings and emotions... Today is just not a good day for me maybe tomorrow will be better.

I have a very strange question???? but I have to tell the reason why I have the need to ask this question. One of my coworkers told me that after she had the lap band procedure that when she became intimate with her husband she always has gas.. Now when she told me this I was like WTH is wrong with her that this happens and I could only just look at her and fall out laughing.. Anyway to make a long blog short what did I happen to notice when it was my special day, there it was like a bomb. Yes  you guessed it the dreaded GAS  I could not believe that this was happening to me besides being embarrassed. I just wanted to crawl up under a chair and hide I even took my PREVACID that my Dr. had prescribed and it didn't help at all.

My question is, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME??? HAS ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS??

Well it is now two weeks fo rmy post op and I am so  excited, so far I have lots 17 pounds . Im now off of liquids ( thank the Lord) and on to soft foods. I mean how much broth can a person really drink?? Laughing but I made it. I often find myself wondering what in the world have I really gotten myself into . But then I am soon reminded by the three beautiful granddaughters that I have . I now get to go to the gym and that right there in itself is something. I'm not even all that familar with going to a gym let alone walking for 30 minutes a day. But I have committed myself to a better life and it starts at home begining with me. Besides that my job is taking money out of my check for the gym so why not use it.
