I am just so thrilled! I still want to loose about 70 lbs probably but I am starting to think I might actually get there! I went shopping yesterday and got size 16 tops from H and M! And size 18 jeans. I started at a size 26 before the surgery! My goal is to be a size 12 and I think I can get there now! I ca't believe I lost this much weight in 6 months and 1 week!

I thought I wrote a little something about my second fill but I guess I didn't. Last fill I got 2 and today I got a .5 increase bringing my fill to 2.5. The staff thought I am doing really well. I have lost so much and I am really happy about my progress. I wish I could go down a smaller size already though! I mean my 20's are big but I am not quite ready for size 18 jeans. Losing 92 lbs and only loosing 3 sizes mystifyes me. But it is what it is.

I set a goal to loose 70 lbs total by July 4th and I did! Yay! I haven't lost anything since then (I know it has only been 11 days). I am sure I will need this next fill I have coming up in 2 weeks! But I am happy! I was able to buy a few tops from "normal" size stores this weekend- J Crew and Eddie Bauer. Yay!

I was scheduled for my second fill today. I lost somewhere around 18 lbs since my last MD visit one month ago. My MD and RN were very happy with my progress and felt I was sort of borderline for needing a fill. More no than yes.  My sinus infection seemed like the final deciding factor which made this fill a no-go. I must say I am very happy with my progress so far! I go in for a fill in one month. I am sure by then I will need it

I got my first fill today. YAY! I really felt like I could eat anything prior to this fill. Some carbs weren't very friendly but still, I never slimed, pb-ed, vomited or anything. So, this was really needed! The scale has not moved and I am still at 50 lbs loss. I don't understand it but, I had been doing the best I could without any restriction so I have no regrets. I really couldn't have done any better. I joined a gym last week and started going every other day doing 40 min of cardio. I am trying to baby my back still so I am not going too crazy with the workouts just yet. I have also been really tired and having some other stuff going on. I got a physical today and bloodwork done so I will see if anything is going on later in the week with my thyroid still. Hopefully if my levels are still off I will actually get treated this time. Otherwise I am feeling optomistic that this fill will kick off some more weight loss! I am STARVING right now. Only liquids today. I am just counting down the hours until I can eat something!

Today I am 4 weeks post op and I started back at work. The mushies are the WORST and I started soft foods about 12 hours early LOL They went down well thankfully. I am hoping that the soft foods will give me some variety and allow me to have a bit more energy.
Life has been a little crazy lately and I am realizing how much I relied on food for comfort (duh!). This whole process is making me take a harder look at myself and my life, without my drug of choice. No one said it would be easy!

So it has been 1 week since my surgery. Between my pre op diet I started March 5 and and the surgery, I have lost a total of 40 lbs! I am getting tired of drinking liquids and not chewing but it doesn't matter. I will be able to do so in another week or so and I am doing great in the meantime. 
I have 2 herniated discs. The funny thing is, this time last year I was training for a 5 k! Since I got diagnosed with back issues last summer, it has been incredibly frustrating. I really want to exercise! I hope when I go to my first follow up appointment on the 23rd, my surgeron has some ideas for resources or me! Meantime, I am doing some sittercise LMAO
