I'm back from my first trip to Europe.  It was fantastic!  We walked miles every day and I did pretty good. 1 week in Paris and 1 week in London.  Before I left I had a visit with the Dr. office and we did not fill my band.  I've had more unfills than fills, I think.  I seem to be pretty sensitive and need to go up in tiny amounts.  I was at about  5.7cc for the trip.  Airplane was fine and eating there was fine too.  Although I did look at the breads in Paris, I did not partake.  The airplane seat was not a huge struggle, the belt fit, with a tiny bit of tail, the arms still rested a bit on my hips.  This did help shake me out of the 'oh look at me I've worked hard and lost 50 lbs, I can stray back to my old habits.'  Plus seeing the pictures helped too, although I look much better now that at 335 lbs, I still need to keep working with the lap-band and get more weight off.

I went in for a fill 5.19.10 up to about 6.2cc, too much, had to go back in and because the area was irritated, back it down to 5cc.  I'm fine with this, slowly I'll build back up to the sweet spot.  In mean time next up - doing some 5k's and my 25 year class reunion this July, which is going to be pool side!!!
