I am now 7 weeks out from surgery and down 24 lbs.  I'm very happy with my progress so far.  I had my first fill on 2/16/07 of 1/2 cc.  I felt very little difference with this fill.  I do have a little restriction but can still pretty much eat whatever I want just not nearly the amount that I could preop.  I have another fill scheduled for 3/16/07.  I will update more after that fill.

Well here I am, it's 1/20/07.  I had my surgery on 1/18/07 and I feel pretty good today.  I'm still a little sore in my rib area.  My incisions look good and I'm taking in my liquids pretty well.  I was on clear liquids for  two days before surgery and for 24 hours after.  Now I'm on full liquids for the next 3-4 days and then progressing to purees from there.  Not feeling hungry so far.  I had lost 4 lbs just being on the clear liquids for two days before surgery, so that was encouraging.  I don't have a scale at home to weigh on so I'm not sure where I'm at now.  I am using my pain med on a regular basis and the GasX strips (which I highly recommend because they dissolve on your tongue).  I will keep this blog updated as much as possible on my progress.  Chow for now!
