Third Fill

I received my third fill yesterday (3/24/09 and I feel as restricted as I did the first few days after surgery. I have been drinking alot of liquids today but have only ate about 1/2 cup of mashed potatos. I hope this fill kicks my weight loss into high gear. I now have a total of 4.5 cc's in a 9cc realize band.

4 months post op

I am four months post op and down a total of 52 pounds. I have been gaining and losing the same 3 pounds for about 3-4 weeks now, even though I am still slowly losing inches. It seems that my upper body is shrinking faster than my lower body. I have gone from a 3xl to a large or xl in shirts. In pants I am in between; 42's are still too snug but 44's are too baggy:unsure:. I go next week for my third fill and am hoping that after this fill my weight loss will pick up again. I have gotten sick a couple of times, mostly from eating too fast or taking too big of a bite. Turkey and breads are my worst foods and tuna or buffalo wings are my best as far as tolerance. I am not getting in enough liquids each day which I have got to work on.

Beggining of day 4

Last night I hurt more than I have since the surgery. After drinking a cup of chicken broth I felt like I was going to explode. I felt like I needed to burp or hiccup but couldn't. I was able to drink a little more than the day before but still not getting alot of fluids in. I drove yesterday and think it may have been too soon to try and venture out.

Day 2

Today I have hurt alot more than expected. I may have overdone it walking though, took two walks one of about 200 yards and the other about 1/4-1/3 of a mile. I have been sipping on the same bottle of water since 5 am and it is now after 5pm. I am having to take pain meds about every 4-6 hours and alternating liquid lortab and liquid tylenol. Thankfully I have had no nausea just a strong desire to burp and a couple of hiccups that were terribly painful. I have lost a little over 10 pounds since last week.
