Almost a year..but not quite

I am now 11 months into this journey and am now down 65 lbs. yeah!!! I haven't had a fill for over 2 months and finally getting good restriction most of the time. I'm exercising reguarly and I fell great. I would have liked to hit 80lbs. gone by my year mark but I'm trying for 70 now. I had a standstill for about 5moths after having to get unfilled. I finally feel like I'm at he the right place. I'm wearing a size 16 pant and 1x top down from a 22 pant and 3x top.

11 days after first fill

Here iit is 11 days since my first fill and i haven't lost anything:thumbdown:. Now I haven't gaoined either so thath is something i guess. Next fill won't be until June due to the high volume of patients the Dr. has to see. I've already called to see if somehow I can get it moved up to at least the date it's supposed to be which would be the 2nd week in may. At this rate I'll still be at this weight until Summer!!! I thought I'd be losing steadily by now. Still feel like I'm on a diet.

1st fill

Well it will be 6 wks tomorrow since my surgery> I had my first fill yesterday and it was not bad at all only took about 10min. I got 3cc put into my 10cc band and am anxious to test it out. Supposed to be on mushies today but have only had coffee so far. Feels a little different in my throat so far. I was a little disappointed whwn i wen t for my fill because the 2 people that got filled before me had both lost 19 pounds since surgery. when i went in and had only lost 13 the nurse said oh she broke our streak. I know people lose at different rates but I wanted the optimum results too. that has inspired me to try extra hard. I think drinking with meals has been my downfall so i am really going to try not to do that. I usually am a 2-3 glass of tea a meal girl pre surgery anyway. Since surgery I have been sipping water but starting today I will quit that and see if it makes a difference.

2wks later....

Well I'm feeling great and saw the Dr. yesterday. Since surgery I've lost 16lbs. I'm back to water aerobics at the YMCA and loving it. I am starting to struggle since I don't have much restriction right now because my first fill isn't for about 21/2 weeks. I feel like i need it now but I'm sure the Dr. knows best. Praying I don't gain any back before then. Trying to stay between 1000-1200 cals until the fill.:confused_smile:

A Week into my new life

This week has been the first week into my new life. I had my band placed on week ago today. I have lost 9 lbs. since the day of surgery. I started Really trying in mid jan and as of today I have lost 20lbs. I'm feeling pretty good not sore too much only over my port site. last night I had a feeling of fullness in my throat all night. Still on liquids so I know it's not anything "stuck" Hoping this is working and will be my answer to many years of praying. :biggrin2:
