Thanks for all of your comments to my blogs. I try to respond to as many other people's blogs as I can because when I get home from work, the first thing I want to do is read your comments. So I figure, other people want to read comments to the blogs they write.

 

Anyway, as you know, my surgery was on 6/21/10. I have not had a fill yet because everytime I was scheduled (3) I went to have the fill, but after my discussion with the doctor or nurse practioner, we postponed the fill. They kept saying I wasn't ready yet.

 

Today for lunch I had 9 large shrimp, 6 cherries and an entire banana. This was the largest meal I have had since the surgery. Tonight's dinner was 4 oz of steak, a little broccolli and some romaine lettuce with grated cheese and dressing, on the side of course. I am full now, but I can't believe how much I had for lunch.

 

My first actual fill is scheduled for 9/1 and I think by then I will be ready. We'll see how it goes. If I am not losing, eating more or hungry between meals, I will not walk, but I'll run to get the fill.

 

I am so afraid of not losing or even worse, heaven forbid, gaining some back. I've worked to hard to get where I am now, so I refuse to go backwards!

 

Have a great evening everyone. I'm going to watch some TV, relax and get to bed early.

Thanks for your post. I was banded 7/15 and also have not had a fill..when I saw my doctor we didn't even discuss it because I'm just doing well and not hungry until it's meal time. I wondered how I would know when it's time for a fill. I've followed your posts each time you've gone for a scheduled fill and then decided to not have the fill. I appreciate reading about the changes you're experiencing. Good luck with your upcoming decision and let us know how it goes for sure!

You have done fantastically well. Imagine four months ago thinking your lunch today was a lot of food? I think that is one of the biggest differences.

You are always responsive and supportive. I agree, this site has been extremely supportive and fellow bloggers "priceless".

Hope your night was relaxing.

There is a lot to be said for learning to do most of the work yourself and not counting on the band to do it all. I bet once you have restriction combined with what you have learned you will do really well.

I was just banded 7 days ago and have been reading t=your blog as inspiration. Just wanted to say thanks for the support. It's helping me get through this hard time.
