Ok everyone, it's been a while since I have been on OH. 2008 was a long hard year for me and my family, we had some sickness and some deaths. I was ready for 2008 to be over! 2009 began with a blessing and prayfully a good sign. I have a new nephew who was born on New Years Eve! 
He is a cutie!
My weight loss journey has been at a bit of a stand still. My weight has been fluctuating between 185 and 190lbs over the last two months. I hve good restriction but I have definately been stress eating (mainly with sweets 
) over the holiday season. What I am most greatful for is the fact that with the Band I have been able to keep my weight within that 5 lb range. Without the Band and with the stress I have been going through, I would have easily ballooned up by 10 to 20 lbs at least in that same length of time! But now that it's a new year it's time for me to refocus myself on my goal! And I know that with the help of the Band I will succeed! Have a blessed 2009 everybody!

Ok it's been a minute since my last update. Well I had my second fill on 02/25/08. It went even better than the first fill if that is possible. Dr. Morton said I was doing really well. I weighed 233 lbs that day. Although right after my first fill I thought I my have had some restriction, I found out after a couple of weeks the swelling went down and BANDSTER HELL was in full affect! 
I knew I would be hungry but it could get really intense some days. I could tell then that I was still wide open and could eat any amount. But after the second fill I now have some pretty good restriction.
I still get hungry after about 2 to 3 hours after a meal but I can eat something like a stick of low fat string cheese or a few nuts and that will hold me over for another couple of hours until the next meal. I am very tight in the morning so beakfast during the week is a protein shake because I have to be at work early and I don't have time to eat breakfast at work. On Sat and Sun I wait until about 8:30 or 9:00 am to eat breakfast so that I can eat something solid. I am down to 222 lbs as of yesterday. I have another Dr's visit in a couple of days and I don't think I will be getting a fill. If I do it will be a very small tweak. I am down 64 lbs! Everyone stay blessed, stay strong and keep the faith!
