Well I havent been on this site as much lately but I thought I'd post an update. I had my first fill a few weeks ago and I'm feeling great. I'm eating pretty much whatever I want but making good choices. Sticking with high protiens when I can. Fresh veggies and fruits over canned or frozen when possible, that sort of thing. I use a website called TheDailyPlate to track my meals.

I've lost a total of 26 pounds so far. I'm feeling full on about 3/4ths of a cup of food. My challenges are still drinking enough water each day (I'm taking in about 32 to 36oz these days) and remembering to take small bites. Remembering to chew everything to a pulp is easy, if you dont you feel it immediately. I've had a few incidents when I've forgotten and felt it. It was scary for a second but i just calmed down and soon it passed.

I'm exercising regularly. I ride our recumbent bike on even days and do weight training on the odd days.

I'm using Nivea Firming cream on my skin and havent noticed too much loose skin yet, but I havent lost too much so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I'm sure increasing my water intake will be the biggest help there.

I still have the migraines almost daily but the high blood pressure is just about gone. I've stopped taking daily medication for it.

My brother told me this past weekend that he spoke to his doctor last week and he's going to have this procedure done as well.

Good Luck to everyone who's reading this. I hope this information helps and encourages you. :thumbup:
