Finally Feelin' It!

Okay, I have been hanging around since before my surgery (9/26/05) and have been very happy for all who are losing while being frustrated with myself for losing very little. Today I went in for my 5th or 6th (can't remember) and my surgeon had an intern (I guess thats what he was) see me. I told the guy that I was very frustrated, most who had surgery in Sept. have lost on average, 40 pounds and that I really am upset. I told them "no" I haven't made the wisest food choices but I haven't gorged myself either. If I were good at dieting I would have lost weight long ago. ANyway, the intern told me he would give me a fill. I said "please don't say you are giving me .5 or something like that. Well, I talked him into 2cc and guess what? I AM FINALLY FEELING RESTRICTION! I tried to eat scrambled eggs and had to eat them really slowly and got full quickly. Everything yal have described, I am finallly feeling. Maybe now we can get this show on the road! Woo hoo!!!

I did a dance for joy two days after surgery when I bought a latte at the shopping centre and could only drink half of it, lol. What a sick thing to get excited about. But it was very exciting, to the person who not only got that latte in a mug previously but ate a huge muffin with it too.

Since then I've lost that level of restriction as the swelling's gone down but I count myself extremely lucky that I seem to have enough to have the weight dropping steadily right from the get go. It must be really frustrating to have to wait months for that, but you will now be 40lb down before you know it.
