    NO SLEEP!

    I slept in a recliner so I was upright, the flatter I laid down the more gas pain... I also lived on gas x strips for the first couple of days... Make sure you are walking around... It will help the gas pains and you will be able to sleep before you know it
  2. Soooo sleepy... get off in an hour and a half then back again at 11 tonight... I think I can I think I can... Not looking forward to the academy but it will be a well needed vacation...

    FIRST FILL - OUCH!

    Everytime I get a fill I get the popping sensation. It is a crazy feeling. Fills seem to get easier the more you get. Good luck with your journey...
  5. Here at work... again... have 2 more days of OT... by the end of this I will have 44 hours OT in 2 weeks... NEVER AGAIN!!! 3rd fill has done wonders, or so it seems... Hope I have a good weight loss at fill #4 on March 29th...

  6. That's what I was thinking... I grew up in Silver... I actually did an internship for college at Yucca Lodge...

  7. debating eating... have not eaten since 3 this afternoon but really not hungry... hmmm wonder what's going on now...

    Third Fill

    Well my 3rd fill was on the 1st. It actually went better this time than the past 2. I am feeling alot of restriction and am totally loving it. Now I am starting to see the real work that the band can do. The only thing I have noticed is that I am not tolerating milk products very well. But I will just have to see if it passes or if I won't be able to handle it at all anymore. I am having to wait 8 weeks for my next fill (if needed) due to a month long class for work. To be honest I would rather see my doctor than go to this class. Everything seems to be going well and I am not as frustrated as I have been. I am looking forward to continuing losing the weight,
  12. appt went awesome... up to 5CC's now.... only lost 3 pounds but I was eating like a horse so it's ok... feeling restriction FINALLY!!!... don't go for another fill till the end of March bc I have to go to Santa Fe for 3 weeks for work... when is ur next appt?...

  13. So tired... here at work on about 3 hours of sleep... finally over my cold but now having bouts of nausea... if it's not one thing it's another...

  14. Aww thanks for the encouragement! I can use all that I can get. Hopefully I hit the sweet spot soon.

  15. 2 hours and 45 minutes till I get to go home... Gonna crawl into bed and hopefully sleep the day away... feeling like crap and I have to be better by Tuesday or they won't do my fill...

    FrUsTrAtIoN!!!

    I go for my 3rd fill on the 1st. Can't wait to get it either, usually I am scared out of my mind. I have been SO HUNGRY lately! It seems like I am not really eating meals but grazing all day. I know that I am not eating anything bad but I also know that I should be only eating 3 times a day. Arn't you supposed to become less hungry as the band gets tighter? Hopefully it gets better because I will cry if I gain weight

    2 MONTHS POST OP

  20. Back work... I so hate graveyards... Have a fill next week... Then hopefully every other month or so after that till I hit the "sweet spot"...

  21. You are going to do really well. It is so hard having to work and eat healthy. I have been trying so hard to adapt to eating at work. It sucks trying to chew chew chew all while your officers are calling you on the radio. Keep me updated. Maybe we can figure out the whole eating at work thing together lol. Good Luck!
