Thanksgiving 2008 Update
Nov 26, 2008
Hi Everyone,
I had my 4th fill this past Monday. Dr. Mecenas added another .3cc to bring me to a total of 5.9cc in my band. It feels good. My weight this morning was 243.8, a total loss of 30.6 lbs since I began the pre-surgery liquid diet on July 15th of this year. The weight is really coming off slow, but that is fine with me. After each fill, I seem to lose any weight I’m going to lose within the first few days. Then, I consistently plateau for three weeks until the next fill. I found I couldn’t eat the same size portions the last few days than I did last week. I ate a little too fast again tonight and got some food stuck. I find that when I am really hungry I have a tendency to eat too fast. My best advice from experience is to slow down at meals, even if you are starving, and chew your food until pureed in your mouth before swallowing. That is how I avoid getting food stuck and subsequently making the miserable trek to the bathroom. I see Dr. Mecenas in another month. I hope to be in the 230s by Christmas. I hope you are all well. Best as always.
Jim
