7 months out....
Jan 04, 2009
So here I am 7 months out and still loving my band!! My weight loss is at a stand still. I weight 180 and have not moved. I did not get a fill at my Dec appointment, in fact I maybe getting an unfill on Jan 12th. I started getting a funny feeling below my left shoulder blade. I was told to slow down and chew really well and see if it goes away. Well it has not. In fact I sometimes now feel like I am getting a pain in the middle of my chest where I think my band is!! So I am pretty sure that he will take out 1cc as that's the comment that was made at my last appointment. That leaves my 1cc in my band and that scares me!!! I pray that I don't start feeling hungry again. I do have to admit that I don't exercise and my band has done all the work so far. I must know get moving and work off the last 10-15 pounds. I know I can.....
6 months out, wow!!

I never thought that I would have 15 pounds to lose! Although my weight loss has slowed down, I am still losing, I really can't complain. The last 2 months I have notice the slow down. I am down about 5.5 pounds down this month. I eat everything except bread. I have had the odd hot chocolate and the occasional dessert. Life doesn't stop!! I am still thinking of 170 as my gaol, I guess I will have to wait and see where the next 15 come off of!!
I still have the throat issue but I don't notice it as much, I am learning to live with it. I will see my DR. on Dec 15. I am wondering if he will give me a small fill as I am still only 2cc in a 10 cc band. But I don't want to have any problems so I feel conflicted. After my one and only fill I lost 7 pounds in 7 days. I sure would not mind that boost again. I will post my pictures again,for some reason they are not uploading.
5 months out

I am 190.4 pounds today, that is almost 10 pounds in a month.I am 20 pounds away from my first weight loss goal of 170. I think that is were I want to be. But I may change my mind once there.
In regards to my throat issues:All my tests have come back fine. God only knows what is going on with my throat since they can find nothing. I guess I will hope it goes away one day or I will live with it!
I still have 2cc in a 10cc band. I go back to the surgeon on Dec 15th. So maybe he will fill me then. But not if I am losing weight.
We are off to Florida from November 12-26th and I am hoping that all the walking I will be doing will help me drop about 10 pounds. Time will tell. My DH said I cant bring the scale! I guess I will step on one at the walmart when I am shopping...lol....

the 1st 3 months

I have been feeling like their is something stuck in my throat since about 1 month out of surgery. I mentioned it at my fill and was told if I still felt the same at my next appointment they would give me something for acid flex. I knew this was not the problem but left it alone. The feeling is so annoying. I went to my GP who gave me something for acid reflex. I took it for 7 days with no change to my throat. I am now scheduled to go for a ultra sound on my thyroid and an xray of my throat on Sept 23/08. My GP said it could be damage from the breathing tube and will heal on it's own. I will bring it up to the surgeon again on the 22 and let him know what I have done and am doing. Hopefully this will get cleared up soon.
Hockey tryouts have started and I am the talk of the arena, in a good way. One of my Friends heard a few moms talking about me saying that they did not even recognize me and I was looking do good.I have lost 60 pounds since these people last seen me. That sure helps you feel good mentally.
I find it funny that people are also shy to comment on your weight loss. I did have a mother tell me that I was looking really good, not that I didn't before. I thanked her for the complement and told her that I new I didn't look good before and new I was heavy that's why I had lost weight. People almost seem relieved when you say that. Do they not think we know we are fat????
I will post after my next fill.
