So, I'm just over 7 weeks out from surgery and I'm down 30 pounds. :crying: While I'm very excited for the loss, I had hoped I would be further along by now. 5 weeks out from surgery I had my first fill, 3cc in my 10cc band. I haven't noticed much change in the amount of food I can hold per meal, but I am snacking less, or was.....:scared2: My appetite is inching back up on me. In the last 2 days I feel like I'm a bottomless pit! :sleep: So tomorrow I've decided I'm calling my PA, Ms. Dix and seeing if I can get in sooner than the 27th of this month. I really don't want to risk gaining any. Also, tomorrow I'm finally getting to join a gym tomorrow so that should help out, being that the last 3 days I haven't been able to do as much exercise as I'd like to. But I'm excited about it, hopefully it'll help keep my losing or at least keep me from gaining.

In other news, my tat on the back of my shoulder, I knew had a little scar tissue which causes you to be able to feel the tattoo on the skin, but apparently with losing weight, I can feel more of the tat. Basically the entire outline now, where it was only part of the tattoo....ugh. Also today I have been unusually tired and not sure why. So, hopefully it's just a fluke but just incase I'm monitoring how I'm feeling....weird I guess.

Do you realize what a rapid weight loss 30 lbs. in just over 7 weeks is? I'm going for my second weigh in and fill next Tuesday, and I'm shooting for 25 lbs. all total. If I hit 30 lbs. My feet will not be touching the ground! An average of over 4 lbs. a week is plenty. You don't want the weight to come off too fast.

Thanks Wendy, I know you're right. I should be happy with the amount of weight I've lost. I guess part of my problem is that I can't see a difference..I called my doctor back and am going for my second fill tomorrow instead. My appetite is just insane right now, regardless of the weightloss. But you're right, I really don't want to lose it too fast.
