4 Months Post-Op

Sep 22, 2009

53 pounds, gone forever!  6.5" off my waist and 7" off my hips.  This past weekend I bought a new pair of jeans, size 18 thank you very much.  Can't remember the last time I was able to wear pants who's size started with a "1" !!   Life is good!

Went for fill #4 last Thursday.  I was expecting to get maybe .25-.50.  It was done under fluoro and I ended up getting .8 instead.  Did the mandatory 2 days liquids, and then day 3 and 4 on soft/mushies.  Those days did not go well, I got stuck on nearly everything I tried, and what didn't get stuck hurt like hell going down.  So Monday morning I called the dr. office and went in for a small unfill of .4 cc's.  Strangely enough, I don't feel any tighter than when I went in even though I'm now at 5.5 cc's instead of 5.1 cc's.  Where is the happy medium?   She said I could come back in a week or two if I think I need another .2 cc's.  We'll see how it goes between now and then.  Maybe something will "kick in" soon.

My weight loss seems to have slowed down a little.  In addition, it seems to come off in spurts rather than slowly and continually.  My Guru Jean told me that she lost that way too, though, so I guess there's hope that I'll still make it to goal one day.  : 

Still lovin it, and thanking God every day for the changes I'm going through!
