Well it has been 3 weeks. So far I have lost a total of 10 lbs. Will do a small tweek of the band tomorrow. If it keeps going I will reach my goal of loosing 20 lbs before the end of April. One day at a time.

Well here I am back to the obesity site. I have not been here for quite a while. Since I have had my second band put back it has been a rollercoaster ride. The first band I lost the wt very fast it was like magic, and the is prob why I got sick. The second one the wt is very sluggish to respond. 
I know I prob have not been the best trying to stay on track neither. Well I am going to do my very best this time.
Today is a start of a new journey. On the 7th of March had a scope done of my upper GI. So I had to have the fill all removed prior to the test. Because of the damage that was done to my stomach 2 years ago. I now do not metabolize iron. The cells in my stomach required to do this has been damaged, or I don't produce these cells call intrisic factor which is needed to absorb iron. So I have been taking  iron injections so far I have had 14 in two months because my iron was so low. It has worked so far. Now it is to monitor how long it will last before I need the next one. Yay!!!.
March 9th. Replaced the fill I have a total of 5 cc's in place. Feels good so far. I have been walking alot doing at least 30 to 45 miniutes a day. At a fast pace to note.
Have to work to night. For those not knowing me I am a ACP paramedic. So there is alot of shift work. Planning meals can be very interesting. Most day you are eating on the run. Well I will be back tomorrow
