1st fill today

Okay, So i couldnt take it any more and I went back to the dr today for my first fill. I can't stand the fact that ive been in "bandster hell" for the past 3 weeks. I havent lost a single ounce. I eat decent and exercise everyday. I find myself grazing between meals, so its about that time!

Wasnt so bad. He numbed me first, with a small shot. Then he did a lot of pushing to make sure he had the port site. He ejected 2ccs. So my band wasnt empty after surgery... which is why i had restriction for so long after surgery. Then he injected in 3ccs. I go back in 1 month. I really hope these 3 ccs help. I am ready to get this fat to melt off, and more than ready to just be in the GREEN! :)

For now, I am on liquids for 2 days. YAY! *straight face*

Then I can work my way back to solids. If i can do 2 weeks of a pre-op liquid diet, I can do 2 measly days.

No fill this time

So i went to my dr today, and spoke with the nurse. She took my vitals. I am down 20 lbs...and 5 lbs since sugery. I am 1 month post op. 5 lbs in a month isnt a lot in my eyes, but i havent been working as hard as i should be. I will def be working harder. After i spoke with my nurse, the dr walks in. He asks me how I have been so far, and everything is ok. The other day I got "stuck" and spit up a lot of saliva and water. He told me that my stomach is still swolen from surgery and i should wait a few more weeks before I get my first fill. I agree. I dont really eat much, and i feel restriction. I would hate to get my band too tight.

So maybe in a few weeks. yay!

First fill in 2 days

Well, this Fourth of July weekend was a blast. Saturday I went to Orlando with my family in the morning. When we returned around 2pm, I then headed to North Port to see my "Band Buddy" for the first time. We met off of lapbandtalk.com, and she is a great friend. We went to see Eclipse, which was GREAT, and then we went to Olive Garden for dinner and CHEATED lol. Saturday made one month anniversary of our band, so we did it big. Well... not too big but we had a great time. We are suppose to schedule a trip to seaworld in the near future. Excited about that.

Sunday was a rather dreary Fourth, but I went to a cookout at my aunts. I had a cheeseburger with no bun. I also had a few bites of banana pudding. YUM. I came home and roomie was in a silly mood, so we went outside and walked around in the rain watching fireworks. After getting in the house at 11pm we went out for drinks... but realized everyone is closed because it is sunday. Soooo no drinks. Well, no drinks for her. Water for me of course. :)

Today has been rather slow. I woke up and ate my left overs from olive garden. I went to my dads and we went to walmart and bestbuy. I bought SIMS 3. I had the game, but I gave it to my besti... and now i got the nitch to play again. Uhm... tonight I am suppose to have dinner with dad. Then back to work i go tomorrow.

Wednesday will be my first fill... I am excited yet very nervous. I am going to really put forth all my effort to eat right and exercise. I am on a medical leave with curves... so i will be able to get back in there with no problems. I bought a lot of things at walmart with high protien, low carbs. Kind of like doing an atkins diet... but healthier. I pray that i will not get stuck. Ive got stuck before and that is PAINFUL! Geesh.

Well I think a nap is coming on... enjoying this last day of my 3 day weekend.
