  Yea I am going for my second fill on Friday.  I hope I have more restriction for a longer amount of time with this fill.  The first fill, I had restriction about 3 weeks, then I really had to watch what, and how much I ate, because I know I could have really put some food away.  I will tell them when I go about how it lasted.  Which so far mine are scheduled about every 6 weeks.  So far I am down 29 pounds, and that averages about 2.5 pounds per week.  I feel great!!, and people are starting to notice that I have lost weight.  I don't feel weird about telling them that I have had weight loss surgery to help myself.

Today I am feeling great!!!  I am now at 216 pounds, 28 pounds lighter than I was a couple of months ago. 

I have found myself wanting to exercise more.  Walking mostly.  But hey, that is better than being a couch potato.  I actually want to go out and do something. 

I do not have much restriction right now, and haven't for about 2 weeks now.  I don't go for another fill until Nov. 16, hopefully that will give me the restriction I need to feel full between meals, and not want to eat as much at a time.

Talk to everyone later

Yea I''v finally hit 26 pounds.  I am so proud of myself.  And it really has not been that hard.  People ask me if I feel deprived, and I tell them no.  I feel pretty good about this surgery.

Well today makes 9 days after my first fill.  I have felt some restriction, but not so much in the amount I feel I can eat, but in that I don't get hungry between meals. 

I actually have to be careful and measure out 1/2 to 1 cup of food or I know I would eat too much.  But once I eat that amount, and chew good and slow, and finally get done 20-25 minutes later, I stay satisfied for at least 5-6 hours. 

Once in a while I feel like I want something between meals, but I don't think I have actually gotten hungry between meals since I had the fill.  So I consider this restriction. 

I hope that with my next fill that I will actually have amount restriction too.  I want to feel physically full with a small amount of food. But either way it is working. 

I am now down 24 pounds. Hoooraay!!! I am so happy with this.  I feel great.  I am so blessed.  I know God is on my side with this choice of surgery or I don't think it would have been so successful to me.   I will check out for now.

  I was worried because I didn't know what to expect it to feel like.  A piece of cake.  No big deal.  I didn't even feel the numbing needle.  The fill was completed in about 2-3 minutes.  Hopefully now I will have some restriction.  I will have my next fill on November 16.  Good deal, right before Thanksgiving.


I have changed "my Intro" around a bit.  I have included some beautiful music on this spot, instead of putting the music player in "My story" where it was originally, and I couldn't get it to work right. 

My weight loss and days since surgery tickers will now be included in my blogs.
Hope you all enjoy the music, I do.

I feel pretty good about this.  Check in later

Well today I got an appointment for October 4, for my 6 week check-up and a fill.  Hopefully that will give me the restriction I need.  I am getting hungry between meals, and I find myself eating a little too much at times.  But I am still losing weight.  I am doing well, and feel great.  No joint pain, no blood sugar meds, and no cholesterol meds,  woohooooo!!!!  I just can't complain.  LIFE IS GOOD.  I will check in later and let everyone know how it went as far as my fill.

Today I felt so good, that after work,  I went by the local aquatic and fitness center to do some aerobic exercise.  I walked 25 minutes on the treadmill, and about 10 minutes on the eliptical cross trainer.  And by the way I am down 16 pounds now,  yeeeeeeehaaaaaa!!!!!  

My appetite is back up and running.  I have not had a fill yet, so I don't have much, if any restriction.  I am really having to watch what I eat, or I find myself eating way too much.

My blood sugar level is creeping up, but I am still not taking meds yet.  I don't intend to.  I think the devil is just trying to aggravate me.  I told him he was a liar, I am a child of God, and to leave me alone.  Thank God for blessings.

Well, today was my first post op visit, and the staples came out.  Finally, they were itcing so bad.  Actuall it was mostly the bandages over the staples that was giving me the problems.  The doc said I must be allergic to the adhesive and didn't know it.  

Between August 26, and August 31 the fluid weight caught up with me during this time I gained 6 pounds of the the 15 lost up to the 23rd.  Then by Saturday through today it slowly started creeping back off, and officially as of this morning at the doctor's office scales I am back down the total 15 pounds.

They said I am doing great, and I really feel great!!  I am able to start some cardio exercise now, but no weight training yet. I am eager to get started with the sit ups and some light weight training, so my excess skin maybe won't turn into flabbiness.

Well this is all for now.  Talk to ya later
