Went to the doctor today for my annual check up. Remember those little gowns they give you to wear?? Well, I am so excited to say that it fit for the first time in years!!! Woo hoo! Loving life with the band.

I also have a bucket list, but it's all the things I plan to do AFTER I have reached my goal weight: white water rapids, zip lining, buy a pair of those $125 jeans at the mall, ride the roller coaster at Six Flags.....I'm so excited I can't wait!!! LOL

My surgeon is very conservative on fills. My band was placed without anything inside and it has taken four fills to get to 3.8. It seemed like it would take FOREVER to get restriction, but now I am glad that it took a while so that I didn't have any problems.

I was banded on 4/19 and have struggled with no restriction. I went for my fourth fill last Thursday for a total of 3.8cc. Finally, I have restriction!! It has been wonderful. I am soooo excited.

I was banded on 4/19 and went today for my checkup with my primary care doctor. Before surgery, my A1C was down to 6.5 with diabetic medicines. Today, my A1C was 6.0!!!! Woo hoo! Able to go from 3 pills a day to 2....the doctor stated I will probably be off all meds in a few months! Two years ago, my A1C was over 8. I'm so excited...I wanted the lapband for mainly health reasons with the weight loss as a bonus. Can't wait for the future!!!!

I don't miss any particular food, but I do missing drinking with my meals. I really miss drinking after a meal to clean my taste buds. I learned I can take a small sip and swish around.

I received my second fill yesterday, 1.6 cc for a total of 2.6 cc. I finally feel some restriction!!! Yes!!! So excited and anxious to get to the green zone...

I was banded on April 19, 2013. To date, I've lost 29 pounds and 15 1/2 inches!!!!! I'm so excited!

On day seven of pre-op diet....had NSV this morning: able to button jeans for first time in a year!!! Woo hoo! So excited for my surgery on April 19th!

My surgery is April 19th. I started the liver diet this morning....so excited and nervous!! Hope the time flys....seems like it gets slower the closer it gets to the 19th!!!
