Update

Well here I am a little over 6 weeks post op and doing well. I did have one minor set back about 3 weeks after surgery when I had an episode where something was stuck and had some vomiting which caused the dr. to remove some fluid from the band. He took out 2 cc's. I didn't even know I had 2 cc's in the band! I went the following week for my first fill as scheduled but he only put 1.5 cc's back in. My dr. only does fills every 7-8 weeks. I am not scheduled for a 2nd fill until October 11th. I do feel some restriction now but not as much as I should. I can eat more than I should in the evenings. I had read lots of people on here that stated that and thought it was strange but now I suffer from the same phenomenon. I can't eat very much at all at breakfast, a little more at lunch, but dinner time I really need to practice self control or I could probably eat whatever I wanted. I am hoping my 2nd fill will tighten me up enough to avoid that. I am officially down 21 pounds. I am happy with the weight loss but haven't really lost anything other than maybe a pound or so in the past 2 weeks. I know I need to amp up working out as I haven't been doing enough of that, only walking really. I used to work out all the time but just haven't found my mo jo again for that yet. Just walking the trail at the park is rough for me. And I have only done that like once a week. I know if I increase my exercise quantity/quality I will see better results. But even knowing that, I still am having a hard time motivating myself. I hope that it clicks on soon and I get it in gear!! Just wanted to post an update so that I can record my journey. I am hoping the 2nd fill will help me more. I will update again soon. Thanks!
