So after my third fill I was doing pretty good for a couple of weeks and then I got to the point where I was struggling to eat soup!!! Everything hurt...so I went to see my Dr and he unfilled me a half of a cc. Whew!!! That's better! I didn't lose the week that I wasn't able to eat enough- not enough calories going in, but now I'm feeling much better and I've lost 4 lbs this week.
I think my body is making up for not losing for a week. heehee. Anyway, hope everyone is having a great day out there!!!

My goodness I couldn't even eat scrambled eggs this morning. I should have opted for a protein shake, but I was wanting something different today. Now I hurt. I had a fill this last Wednesday and it's tight one- mainly just in the a.m. Lunch and dinner are fine. Which is a good thing because otherwise I wouldn't be eating.
Other than my very tight mornings...I'm doing great and just wanted to say hi and wish all of you a great day!!!

I am heading out in a few hours for my 3rd fill. I am very excited! I think I'm excited because I had restriction for a couple of weeks after my last one - and I like it! These past couple of weeks I have been hungry though - but I have managed to lose 9 lbs since my last fill. A friend of mine who got a band about a month before me had his 3rd fill earlier this month and has lost 20 lbs since then! He said the restriction is great! Oh how I want that - I just want the restriction to stick around awhile. Well, got to go! Have a great day everyone!

Today was a big milestone for me. For some reason I've had the weight of 225 in the back of my mind for A LONG time - and this morning I am exactly 225 lbs. - with only 75 lbs to go!!! My next goal is to be under 200 lbs!!! I am so excited!!! I can actually see it...you know what I mean? It doesn't seem like some distance fantasy that I could never reach- I can do this!!! 
We all can!!!

That's how I feel lately. I had my dear sweet husband take away the scale. I was weighing everyday and allowing that to dictate how I feel. So now that I don't have the scale to tell me I'm doing okay...I just feel nothing. Even though I can tell in my clothes and feel good...I want to see those numbers!!!

Yesterday was my second fill. Everything went great. I'm excited to be closer to that "sweet spot". I go back in 4 wks.

So next week I made an appointment to see my Dr - and get another fill. It's been almost 2 weeks since my first fill and the first couple of days I felt some restriction - but not much. For about a week now I've been getting hungrier and hungrier. :) My Dr told me not to wait a whole month if I started getting hungry between meals - I should be full for up to 4 hours. I'm losing weight, but I'm not full after I eat. What have been your experiences?

Yesterday went great. Very interesting!!! No pain or anything, just a weird sensation. I had a protein shake this morning for breakfast and I can tell there's something different going on. I drank it really slow and could feel myself getting full. I have my next appointment on Feb 3 to check in and if I need it, another fill.

I will be leaving in a few hours and I'm soooo excited to start this process!!!

The snow has made it a little difficult to travel so we won't be going to Eugene tomorrow. I'm a little disappointed - but hanging in there!
