Ok so today I went for my second fill. I had one last Friday and I felt NOTHING! I was able to eat whatever and was always hungry like 2 hours later. Well I went in for my fill today. My doctor ran an hour late for my appointment, but Jesus himself would have had to drag me out of that office without getting my fill! LOL :lol:

 

I went through the usual routine of getting weighed. I LOST 5 POUNDS SINCE THE FIRST FILL LAST FRIDAY!:o I was totally shocked! What a wonderful surprize! I am now down 33 pounds from my heaviest weight of 258 and 17 down from when i started my pre-op diet. When i drank the barium(yum yum right) this time it felt different. I felt it stop in the middle of my chest, pause for a little then disapate! HOW I'VE LONGED FOR THIS FEELING! I told my doctor this feels different this time. I now have 7.5 cc's in my band, still dont know what size band I have. I actually dont even care about how much is in it as long as i get restriction and stay full longer. I cant wait to try some real food(on liquids for 2 days, even though he didnt technically say that, i'm sure it's the same from the first fill.) I went to the gym again to work out some frustration from a comment from my mom that really hurt. I'm focused and ready to kick this into full gear!!!!! SIZE 12 HERE I COME!!!

WOW great job on the loss so far - i hear you about waiting no matter how long it would take for the dr. to come in for the fill - I would have sat in a dr. office for 24 hours if it meant getting the surgery or the green zone fill lol - keep up the good work and let the hurtful comment roll off your back!:lol:

Congrats Jennifer! You were on the ball and didn't even know it! You are well on your way to success...you'll have to tell me how that restriction feels. Although I don't really have restriction either, and I can pretty much eat what I want as much as I want, I am nervous about having too much of a restriction and having issues like being "stuck" or throwing up.

Keep us posted sunshine!

Thank you guys soooo much! i dont think I could make it through this journey without your encouraging words and concern for my success.

As far as restriction. it feels like teh liquids pauses in the middle of my chest and then slides down. (about a couple of seconds) sometimes i feel like i need to pat my chest to make things go down. I have a lot of extra gurling going on in my stomach now and some small burping. So far i've eating some pudding and mostly been drinking liquids. I had a protein shake this morning at 7:30am and wasnt hungry until like 1:30!!!! i pray and hope this continues, but you know i'll keep you guys posted!!!!
