It's Monday and
May 12, 2008
I'm fine. I can eat, very little, but I can eat. I had 4 small chicken nuggets and 3 broccoli florets for dinner and I am full. I am at the often talked about elusive "sweet spot". I have lost 5 pounds since my fill - that's a very good thing because the scale was stuck for about a month. So, color me happy!!!!!
I think I may be too tight
May 10, 2008
I can't eat anything without pain - not even cottage cheese! I can drink water and other
liquids so I 'm not too concerned just yet. I called and left a message for Sue that I may be in on Monday morning for a slight unfill - we'll see how I am by then. On a positive note, I woke up and was down 2 pounds from yesterday! Not the greatest (or healthiest) way to lose it, but lost nonetheless!

4th fill
May 06, 2008
and I am definitely restricted. I have 5.75cc's in my 10ccc's AP band. Water is going down sloooowly - I haven't lost anything since my last visit - it's those damn cheetos 
!!! I know I am taking in more calories than I should. They aren't bad calories (except for the evil cheetos). I am hoping this fill will help me to eat less - even if it's good for you - you can still have too much of a good thing!!!! Take my dh for example - he thought "organic" = "less fattening". What a dork - my dork - nontheless, a dork 
! He's a great guy, even though he is nutritionally challenged.

Will I never

learn? I just ate almost an entire bag of puffed natural cheetos. Why did I do that? Well, I left the house with a shake at 8:30am, went to the podiatrist, drove around a little while waiting for the housecleaner to be done, went to Wally World on an empty stomach (there - that's the reason), then drove around while mindlessly munching on the bag of cheetos. So I came home, had a couple ounces of ham, and some strawberries. I feel better, but need to learn from my mistakes. It seems I keep making the same ones over and over. Oh well 
, I am scheduled for another fill next Tuesday. Hopefully, that one will stick around for more than a couple of days. I am down a total of 31 pounds (I count from my preop appointment of Jan 26th) which ain't too shabby

And the restriction
Apr 20, 2008
is gone. Once again, it has left after only a week. I haven't lost any weight, I can eat way more than I should, and it is driving me nuts! I'm thinking I will be the only one the band doesn't work for 
. I want the band to work, I want to have restriction for more than a week, I want to lose weight!! I feel so guilty going in for fills - they probably think I am not watching what I eat or drinking with meals. I have 5.25 in a 10cc band. I'm at a loss, but I will schedule another fill. Hopefully, that will be the one.
Oh, and I found out I do have the new AP band - yay!
I am on my third fill (5.25 cc's)
Apr 19, 2008
and finally have the ever elusive restriction everyone talks about. I can only take four or five bites of food and I am full. If I eat more, it gets stuck and hurts like hell until it slowly makes it down. How do I know this? My stomach is banded, not my head .
I had foot surgery on Wednesday, so I don't really know how much I weigh - I've been on pain meds and sleeping all day since then. I will feel better by Monday and be able to get back into the swing of things, hopefully. I have a mountain of laundry and so many dust bunnies, I've lost count!!!! I think I'll call the cleaning lady on Monday and see if she can come clean for me - it bugs me to sit in a dirty house!

I had my 2nd fill two days ago
Mar 27, 2008
and I have a bit of restriction. The NP added .75 cc's. I have 4.75 cc's in the band and found out I have the original 10 cc band. No AP for me - kind of bummed, but this one will work just as well as the AP. I find that if I don't chew really well and take small bites, it hurts going down - almost "stuck" but it does go through. So I guess that's what restriction is.
I had my first fill
Mar 14, 2008
yesterday and I can definitely feel the restriction. I found out that I had 1cc put in at surgery and he put in an additional 3cc's. I think I have the 10cc band - not sure - I figure if I am going to let someone cut on me, I will trust them to put the right size band in 
.
So, today I have only had drinkable yogurt, refried beans, jello, and Nectar protein. I am not hungry at all - what a great feeling! I am down 25 pounds according to my scale! Today I love my scale!
We are going to Houston NASA Center
over spring break - leaving on Tuesday - I am so excited - we haven't gone anywhere for a couple of years - my son picked the place. I think we are going to have a blast!
Later, gator!

I have just had my first NSV!!!!
Mar 07, 2008
I put on a pair of pants out of the dryer that I usually hang to dry, and they are loose!!!! I usually have to put my arm into the legs to stretch them out so they don't cling - they are now loose OUT OF THE DRYER!!!!! 21 pounds really has made a difference. I have gone down one whole size! I can't wait for the next 21!!!!!!!
