I really want to get back to the Dr. for a fill. I am eating the house down and having a terrible time with portion control. I am getting real snug in my jeans, and I gave all my old ones away. Not good! Having a hard time also with dealing with My Grandparents deaths recently. Also starting to feel holiday depression kick in.

I went for my 4th(?) fill on Oct. 2nd. All went well untill the 24th or so. I started having problems eating, and it only got worse. I went this way untill I was no longer to eat any type of anything, and I was getting stuck on water. I finally admitted that I had a problem. I went to the Dr. on Nov. 10th, and he took out 2 cc's under fluro. He did not know why I was unable to swallow, he seemed to think I was stuck on something very fiberous. Hmmmmmmm. Anyway, I am now 2 weeks out from that and I feel so much better. It is so wonderful being able to eat without getting stuck. I HAD been vomiting once a day for the average. Sad to say, Food is heavenly again, and I can't wait to get 1 cc. in again, which he said I could about a month later. I need some more restriction. I still am holding at this weight but i know it's my own fault due to no exercise. This has been a very trying last month for me. Both my Grandmother and Grandfater passed, and my stepfather had cancer surgery which he is now cleared from, but has numerous complications from it. Overall he has been in the hospital for 12 weeks now. He is trying to keep his spirits high but it is so hard for him. And Mom, I have no idea how she is maintaining with the amount of stress she is going through. I know she is really worried to death about him. I pray he gets better soon.

I am now in a size 12. I still feel big. Weightloss is getting slower now, and it is getting hard to stay on track with the program. Summer is comming soon and I hope my legs will look good enough in shorts. I feel 99% better mentally. This surgery is changing the way I feel about a lot of things. I find I am tending to speak my mind more and not care if someone will not be happy with me for what is said. I can now do 30 mn. on the elliptical and then 25 mn. on the treadmill with an incline of 3 and a speed of 3.5. I walk 3 miles like it is a breeze. This is sooooooooo wonderful- can't wait 'till Relay for Life..........this year I'll be able to actually walk more than 5 laps! Total weight loss since surgery: 72 lbs.

A funny for the day......DH was getting dressed, called me into the room, pants were too small. (he's been gaining but he can afford it). I was almost proud of him, for they were really really snug!! He then stated that they were also getting short, so I told him he could not wear them like that. After taking them off, I looked, yep! Size 14's, lol! Love it, Love it

Well, another month has gone by. I'm having trouble sticking to the "diet" given by my nut. Not like I'm eating junk, it's just that I am supposto' get in 3 snacks and 3 meals, and truthfully, I only want one meal and two snacks. Water? I only want 20-40 oz. a day. Never thought it would be a chore to eat. I know that I should be getting more protein in order to burn this fat. I need to work on this. I am feeling healthier each day. My energy has tripled, along with my confidence and attitude. I'm finding I'm saying what I want more now, instead of worrying about saying the wrong things. Recently, I've been shopping e-bay for smaller clothes. Today I received 2 pr. of capri's for the summer. I bought a size 12, YES, 12, so hopefully by summer I will fit them. Wrong! They fit now, but my baby pouch roll makes the tummy a little tight. Everything else if ok. These were Dockers and Abercrombie's. This is sooooooo cool. I am still on my blood pressure meds. My eye sight has changed for some reason. It's been the same prescription since 1989. Now I cant see close up or far away. I go in Feb. for my yearly exam. This will be interesting. I've noticed something else......when men pass by me now, they look me in the eye and say hello. It kind of flatters me and disgusts me in the same. I guess I was too fat before to grant a greeting. UGH!

Today I had my second fill. He was aprehensive as to if I really needed it or not. I've been stuck in the 186-ish area for about a month, and eating like a pig. They TRIED to put 1 cc into me and I had to lay back down again and get .6 cc taken out, so this leaves me with the following:
Original 10ag band
surgery-4cc
1st fill -.5cc
2nd fill -.4cc
I am very tight.

I had gained back 2 lbs. a couple of weeks ago and have worked to get it off but have held fast. Tonight I have went to the gym (which I haven't in awhile) and weighed- I've lost the two, plus another one. Halloween was a bear, I cheated a lot. Spoke with nut. today and she recommends another fill, not based on my weight, but amount of food I can consume. It seems as if I have no stopping point. I am scheduled for Nov. 21st for the consult. I get measurments taken tomorrow at the gym.

Doing ok now, not getting in my required protein. ugh. Getting in my water tho.I dropped another couple of lbs this week. I think the fill is kicking in, for I'm not eating enough during the day, or night.
Today- breakfast: protein bar,
snack: 8 oz. choc. skim milk
Lunch- 4 oz. vanilla yogurt
snack- 3 oz. peanuts
supper- 4 oz. chicken , forkful of noodles
snack- s/f popsicle
Good news, I did not PB today! (had a scary moment tho). Grocery shopping is soooooo boring now and a chore, now that I don't "taste"what I'm thinking of fixing for each meal. Poor DH, think he's turning into a chicken. Oh, good news! Dr. called with bloodwork results, I AM OFFICIALLY OFF MY CHOLESTEROL MED! My results were total, 177, bad was 116, but have no idea what they should be, but he said it was normal! Now I'm looking forward to getting off the BP meds. In time........
