It has been 1 week after the 3rd fill and I can tell I am almost there. I am going for my 4th fill on Thursday of next week. I am trying to get most of the fills done 90 days after surgery. My insurance does not make me pay the copay for 90 days after surgery, so that is really cool.

I am getting full faster and eating a lot less. Night eating is still a problem, but getting a little better. I got a few things stuck last week after the band fill. One time I even had to go to the sink and sort of spit up a little. It was very uncomfortable, but I knew it would not last. Glad I was at home.

I have been going to the pool a lot this week and doing a little work out. I have been dreaming about running a mile, does that count?? :cursing:

My doctor set me up on the Realize My Success website even though I had the Lap Band. It is really cool. you can track your progress, diet, workouts, and goals. He is on it and can monitor my progress.

Today I put in several goals. Some are to do with health and fitness, but most are about fitting into normal clothes again. I really want to go to a day spa and when the lady hands me the little bathrobe and says to meet her in the relaxation room, I want to not cringe in embaresment. When I see that bathrobe I feel anything but relaxed. I want to be able to slip it on without a thought about "I wonder if they have a bigger size"... Anyway it seems to be a good site to track my progress.

Hey lady glad to hear things are going well with you so what is the weight lost looking like. Where are you from as a matter of fact? If I'm close where you are we can do that mile togeter. I dont know though cause I swear that my legs are like surper heavy when I tried to run on a treadmil. I guess I need to make running a whole mile one of my goals. I know the feeling with the bathrobe. I have never been one to do the whole bathrobe thing so a beach towel was good enough for me to not have to worry about getting a towel around my body. Anyhow just wanted to come by and see how your journey is going hit me up when you have a chance.

Later, B.

I am inside the loop in Houston. I would love to go walking. Shot me an email and we can meet up.
