I just vomited TOMATO SOUP!!  Ahhhh!!!  I've been taking my Prevacid religiously since I last spoke to my dr's office.  I'm still not able to eat anything very solid until supper.  Yesterday it hurt to eat just about anything, and now today I vomit my tomato soup lunch!!  Not good.  I plan on calling my dr's office tomorrow...hopefully they'll agree to take some out!

I'm still trying to get used to my new fill.  I was a bit worried this past week that I was too tight.  I spent awhile on the phone with the PA from my dr's office both on Monday and Friday.  I've only been able to start eating SOFT foods as of Thursday (almost a week and a half after my fill)....although I can't eat anything solid until later in the day (5-6pm).  She had me up my Zantac thinking maybe I'm getting swollen overnight from reflux...so we'll see how that goes.  Hopefully it works!

Good news....I'm down about 5-6 pounds since my fill!!! Yea!!!

What a week!!  Tuesday I had my 5th fill (including the one I had during my last surgery).  So I've been on liquids since then...this is the tightest I've ever felt and I believe it's going to be a good fill!!  Wednesday I had my first personal trainer session at my new gym...and my legs are still hurting!!  I definitely think that male personal trainers push you a LOT harder then females!!  And yesterday (Friday) I had a tooth taken out so I'll be on liquids/mushies for awhile longer!  Not to mention I had school or other appointments the rest of the week also.  Next week I'm busy every day too!!  I think this is the busiest I've ever been, maybe it will help keep my mind off food :) ?!?! 

Anyways...I'm already down a couple of pounds since my fill on Tuesday...hopefully I can keep this up!  I went into my fill appointment frustrated because I've only lost 10 lbs since the begining of February.  My dr was so nice and reassuring...he said I'm already a sucess with having lost 50 lbs since surgery and not to get frustrated....I still am a little though!

Here's my 20 week check in:
220.4#
Neck: 13.5"
Chest: 36"
Upper Arm: 13"
Arm: 10.75"
Waist: 38.75"
Hips: 48"
Thigh: 25.75"
Calf: 16"

That's 5.75" and 12.4# lost in 10 weeks.

I've really been slacking lately and need to get back on track!!!

I went in for my "three" month checkup today (actually 4 months since surgery).  The PA said I'm one of their Star patients for lapband!!  I guess after my fill last week my doc went up to the clinic and told them how great I was doing!!  It really felt good to hear that!  I have to say I'm sick of my nutritionist tho.  Oh well.  The PA said she wouldn't be surprised if I was in Onderland by my six month check up...I would love to not let her down!!  That's a little over 20 pounds.
