I weighed today. I am down 13 more pounds! That makes 40 pounds total!!
I was so surprised! I knew I was losing but didnt have a clue how much. You can really tell by my shirts, they are really starting to look big!

I am happy with the amount of restriction I have for now. I only have a small amount, but it is enough to tell myself to slow down, take small bites and chew, OR ELSE! lol It is a good feeling to begin to know when you are full!
I went walking tonight. I noticed that I can make it all the way around the track without stopping and not being as short of breath as before. I don't feel like I am about to die when I finish!

I went in for my 2nd fill yesterday. The nurse did the fill, and I did not feel a thing! She said she gave me 1.25 cc. She said that brought me up to 6cc. I was surprised because I thought that would have brought be up to 3.25cc, but she said I had some in my band from the initial surgery!
I ate lunch today and could tell I had some restriction, but I am still able to eat. I will have to watch myself closely to make sure I dont overeat!! All in all I am very pleased with my second fill, and am ready for my 3rd!!

I went swimming today. I stayed in the pool for about 2 1/2 hours and had a blast! I was with my family. I will probably be sore tomorrow, but it was well worth it. I am planning to go back next weekend. I get my second fill on saturday, and will go swimming again on sunday! I hope this week goes by fast!!

I finally decided to go weigh today and not wait until next saturday when I get my second fill. I was afraid to weigh, because I thought I had gained weight. I LOST another 6 pounds!! I was so excited!! That is 27 lbs so far!! It really is starting to work!!

Still impatiently waiting for Aug. 2 - I am so ready for my 2nd fill. I have had no restriction since having my first fill. I am walking and watching what I eat, but some days it is hard!
I have not weighed since I had my first fill. I want to waite until I go back in to get my 2nd fill before I weigh again. I hope I have not gained any more weight! I feel much better that I did before being banded. I am exercising more and eating better. I still have a lot of swelling (edema) in my left leg. I really have to watch my salt, it causes a lot of swelling! I will post again soon!

I had my first fill on July 3. I have no restriction at all. The Doctor put in 2cc. I am able to eat like I did before being banded. It's scary!! When I went in on July 3, I had gained back 6 pounds! I was devastated! I go in for my second fill on August 2, I hope I get some restriction then.

Doing great! I lost 21 pounds during the 2 week pre-op diet until now. I go in for my first fill on thursday july 3 (1 day before my birthday!!)
I have been eating more, but I have to really watch that!
I don't have any restriction, and can eat whatever I want.
Hopefully that will change on thursday.

I have had a great weekend. No problems at all. I have been able to eat a variety of food. I have had pimento cheese, chicken fajitas, grilled chicken, sliced turkey, cheese (I cant remember what else lol).
Last night, I was finally able to sleep on my left side without it hurting (port).
I am so excited, I can start to tell the difference that my skin is beginning to get a little looser!
I made it around our city park tonight for the first time since being banded! It is a mile long. Now I have to go 2 laps!!
I will update again soon!

June 19 - post op appointment
Jun 19, 2008
I went in today for my 1 week post op appt. The nurse removed the strips covering my incisions. I thought they would stay on for another week because they were still very stuck! She peeled them right off.
I was given the ok to start soft, solid foods. The doctor said I could have baked potatoes, so I had part of a baked potatoe for lunch, and omg! It was good.
For supper, I had soft scrambled eggs with cheese, they were wonderful!
I went to a support meeting tonight. It was very interesting.
