I got my first fill yesterday and I can tell the difference today. It took me 40 minutes to eat about 2 oz of meat and a tablespoon of green beans. I started out eating a little too fast and FELT IT!! OUCH! So, I've learned that I MUST chew chew chew!!! The restriction has officially begun!

It makes me a little nervous to eat now, I'm sure that I will get used to it. I have to say it's amazing to me to take a piece of meat that before the band would have been two bites, and turn it into a complete portion and still not be able to eat it all. CRAZY!! I'm loving it though.

I worked out hard today, it felt good. An hour of cardio, then 30 minutes of weight lifting then a two mile bike ride. I feel energized!

I've officially RETIRED my size 16's!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited; and to be honest my 14's aren't going to be around long, they are already a little big. Way cool.

The weekend is here and should be a good time. I've got to go SHOPPING!! Need to find something to make HOT Greg notice me.

So, I'm off...

Its amazing how far your eating progresses between fills and its a shock to go back to the basics again, but it makes you feel great. My motto is Chew Chew Chew or spew. Cheers Chooky

I love your motto too true!

sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with the fill. how many cc's do you have in your band now?

The fill is getting much better, it just took a little bit of time to get used to slowing down a little more than what I was.
