 I finally got another fill today. I got 1/2 cc. I'm up to 2 1/2 cc's in my 4cc band. I hope this does it for a while. My weight is 212.9  Doc says I lost 1 1/2 lbs in the last 6 weeks which isn't a lot but at least I didn't gain!!
 Now I just need to stay away from the crap I have been eating.  I need to eat solid protein first, then a veggie. I'm going to try to stay away from carbs. Definately going to try to stay away from the Easter candy that will be all around me next weekend!!

 Where has the time gone? I can't believe it is March already. I'm not losing and I'm not gaining, so I will get a fill next monday. I hope that gets me started again. I hope everyone is doing great with their weight loss. I've been busy learning the new camera. So far I am in love with it!!

  OK, I'm ready to start fresh!! I weighed today and I am 210.1 lbs.  I want to be at or below 200lbs by my Band anniversary March 26th.  My fill is ok but could be a little bit tighter. I will do it!!!
  I will post measurements tomorrow but I doubt that they have changed any, except for my boobs!! I can't believe that I was a DD and now a C!!!

 Ive been eating cookies all day! Darn it!! Well for dinner I ate a half a hamburger without the bun and about 6 bites of lima beans and I'm stuffed, almost to the point of having pain. When I get too full or get something stuck, I get a headache. I have a little headache on the right side. I hope it goes away. Now I just have to stay away from the cookies!!!

 Everything has been going down fine. I think I just didn't chew my food good enough. 
 I have been a little sick with bronchitis. Ive had a cough for weeks and finally went to the doctor yesterday. He gave me antibiotics.  Since I have been tired and not feeling so great, I have been eating "comfort food."  My comfort food is cereal and chocolate. I am too scared to weigh myself this week. I suppose I should though.  I hate that I always revert back to those bad foods.

 I ate my first solid food since I got my fill on Monday and it didn't go so well. I only ate 1 or 2 ounces of chicken and a bite or two of green beans. I stopped eating before I got full but I think I took a big bite. I had pain for 4 hours!!! Finally after all that pain it finally came up. Thank You God!  What a relief!! Now what??  I guess back to liquids for 24 to 48 hours then mush for a day or two. My stomach is still very sore. I'm drinking some hot tea and it is going down slowly.

 I'm down almost 3lbs already!! Yah!! Thank God for my fill Monday. I have 11 more pounds untill I reach my goal of getting to 200lbs by my bandiversay! 12lbs to get under 200lbs.   I really want to see that number 1 on the scale.

 I got my fill yesterday. He filled back up to 2cc's. I was at 3cc's when I had problems and had to get an unfill. I do have some restriction again. I haven't ate anything yet but I did feel my pills going down last night. According to their scales I gained 5lbs. So I'm back on track.
 Sunday I took the 2 youngest to Disney. It was Jakes first time. He loved it! 

 I was scared but I did it...  I weighed myself today 213.9lbs. I am up only 6lbs! I am very happy with that. I thought I had gained at least 10lbs. I feel back in control today with my eating. Since my unfill I have been seriously out of control.
 I am thinking about some new goals today. One will be to exercise more regularly. It has been sporadic at best the last few months. I have about 7 weeks left untill my one year anniversary of my band so I think I can get to 200lbs by then. 2 lbs a week, I think I can do it!!!  Here I go again. I feel like I'm starting over.
