It's been over a month without going into my journal. So here's my update:

Finally had my second fill. Under flouro. Doc tried at the office, but not succesful. Then cancelled my next appointment at the hospital because of an emergency surgery he had to do. Finally got it done Nov. 14th. Felt good. Noticed harder time with chicken. I just have to chew alot more.

Thanksgiving. Sort of glad that's over with. Visiting my brother in Dallas. Overate that day and ended up in pain. Experienced my first throw up with the band. Too much turkey felt stuck; not going thru. I tried drinking sips of water and made it worse. Became nauseous and threw up a little. Then everything was ok. Went on shopping and continued with light foods. I don't want to do that Again. I felt like I hurt myself. My stomach was a bit sensitive after that. Also wonder if I stretched my pouch?

My first holidays. I will have to take it easy and slow. Learn.

After my little 4 day vacation, I'm putting myself back on track.

I have continued with tuna. Love that stuff.

I have continued my walking. Enjoying.

Forcing the water in. Mainly at work. It's easier.

I noticed that I lose my weight with excercise. The harder I work the faster it comes off. And not one pound at a time. It comes off in groups. 3 - 5 pounds at once.

I'll stay at a certain weight for several weeks then all of a sudden a big drop. (big for me it seems) I love that feeling.
