 went to band doctor april 30th and have lost 15 lbs from april 6th to april 30th the doctor gave me another fill of 3cc in my band yesterday and so i now have 5cc in my band.  Wish me luck

 i have lost -10 lb since april 6 2012 when they put 2 cc back in my band!!

 well i am back again its been about 2 years since i got married and had a baby and i didnt get a unfill during my pregnancy a bad choice for me.  I had a dilated esophogus and slipped band so got a a complete unfill and waited and waited.  I started feeling like my band might be in place so a week ago went to check and  it was and no dilation everything was normal so i got a fill 2cc . so here i start over again and trying hard to do much better this time.  -8lb in the last week.

well had my fifth fill it took three weeks for it to kick in. This week it has kicked me in the butt had several pb episodes.  On everything from frosted flakes to birthday cake!!   The scale hasn't been moving hopefully i will catch up with myself and start losing again soon.  Maybe i am losing inches i hope.  I am now at a size 24W so that makes me happy can't wait till i reach the 22W .  I want to start going swimming at the ymca and walking so hopefully that will kick it up a notch.  Well tell next time. 

Well its been a little over a year and i have lost a total of 115lbs my highest starting weight was 427 and i am currently sitting at 312.  The lowest weight i remember was around 320 the year i graduated high school talk about pathetic lol.  Man that would of been cool if i would of got the band then and now i would be what size?  who knows.  A few weeks ago i could start tolerating some bread so went in for my fifth fill.  The doctor weighed me and i had lost 59lb since my last fill six months ago she thought that was good and pleased with my success.  I was wrong however i thought i had 6.5 in my band and had 8.5 in there and she gave me a .3 fill this time so i am sitting at 8.8.  She didn't know why she gave me so much fill last time and said she won't be doing that again.  Which is fine by me because i was so tight i was miserable but i stuck it out.  We will see how much difference this fill will make. 

Well i went thru a divorce a couple months after my lapbanding.  And finally started dating.  I am using the internet as a resource my family think i am nutts but thats ok who said i thought they were all sain lol.  Anyways i have been on a couple dates ( LOSERS!!! )  But had a date today with a nice guy we hit it off so we will see where this goes.  Slow like my weightloss hopefully. 

Well as of today i am down -95lb weightloss is just starting to show when you are a very high bmi it must take quite a bit to really start showing a differnece.  Not many comment on my weightloss but soon they will notice lol.  When i look in the mirror i can tell myself my clothes show less bulges lol.  I am in this mode where i care less if i eat or not.  Had the flu and nothing sounds good or smells good enough to eat.  So i will keep sipping my hot tea and hope i lose 25 lb  by spring.  I need to go back to the fill doctor next month but i don't think i want a fill but its almost time for my yearly check up.  Almost one year yahooooooooooooooooo.   I can't believe it , it flew by so fast.  I need to lose five lb by the end of next month to  make my goal of -100 in a year surely i will make it.  The band the best decison that i made--- NO REGRETS
