Helloooooo restriction!! Yeehaw!!

Jan 07, 2009

So, as worried as I was about not getting a fill last week, my doctor gave me a full cc, bringing me up to 5.5 cc in a 10 cc band.  NOW, after 9 months, I finally know what restriction is!  Holy crap is all I have to say!  I thought I was living by some strict rules before, its nothing like now!  And I love it.  It takes a lot of patience and I had one day where I was VERY frustrated because I was getting stuck on water and I was thinking I was overfilled.  But I seem to have loosened up.  I just need to take it slow and easy and keep aware of what I'm doing, which I should have been doing in the first place.

I had packed on a couple of lbs over the holidays (don't tell anyone!) and as of saturday morning (6 days ago), I was 267 lbs...this morning I weighed in at 258 lbs.  I've been losing like a lb a day.  Its about time.  The scale has barely moved in 4 months, I KNEW a fill was all I needed to get me going again.  It feels wonderful!  I know it will slow down eventually but this week I am in HEAVEN!  I just calculated it and I need to lose 20 more lbs to reach the "halfway mark" in my weightloss journey.  And in 16 more lbs I will be down 100 lbs since my initial consult and official weigh-in. 

I was wishing and hoping to make it to 100 lbs lost in the first year.  While I'm not altogether sure thats attainable by April 2nd...its 37 lbs.  If I lose 2 lbs a week thats only 22 lbs, putting me 15 lbs below target.  Even so - 85 lbs in a year would be freaking fantastic!  Anyways, these are my ramblings for today....that is all
