Dear Diary,

I'm still waiting for my first fill appt. in the end of Oct.. I've got mixed feelings about it. One part of me wants the fill ASAP because I'm having a very difficult time staying on diet, and the other part of me doesn't want to be restricted from eating. I know, I want my cake and eat it too.

I know the band will only do it's job with restriction so I will have the fill. I just hope it isn't too tight like some people talk about. Just enough to keep hunger at bay. I ate like Stewart Little for awhile post op. I've since turned into Miss Pac Man. I still want to be able to drink lots of water when I want it. Not the small sips I had to take post-op.

I am looking forward to resuming weight loss. I think I'm ready to get down another 30 pound by Christmas. Hopefully, in the mean time I can still maintain my previous loss.

I see Endo. today, it is my first time since being banded. I need to discuss meds. I take Vytorin and am concerned it is causing hair loss. Hair was thinning some prior to WLS. I have increased protein so that should help w/ hair loss too. I don't think my cholesterol will be high but must wait and see bloodwork results. Well must get rest. See you later.

Take Care All :confused:
