6th fill was my sweet spot and in ONEDERLAND!!!!

So last month I had my 6th fill and i've finally hit my sweet spot. I won't be going in this month because i'm steadily losing every week which is awesome. I am finally in onederland!!! I weighed in this morning at 198 yipee!!   This is soooo exciting. I went shopping on the weekend at Pennington's and I am a size 14. I won't be able to shop there anymore because that's the smallest size they have. Can you believe it - I have to shop at regular stores now. AWESOME!!!   I am so looki

5th fill - difficult but worth it

So I went in for my 5th fill. I got .75cc fill. Felt fine but by that night couldn't even swallow my own spit.   I went in the next day and had a .25cc defill. Felt fine and then a few days later the band tightened again had to go back in and have another .25cc defill.   Now I am at 8.75cc in a 10cc band and feel great. I think I am at my sweet spot for now.   Altogether - I am down 55 pounds as of this morning. What a wonderful feeling. Even though being overfilled was very uncomfortable

Wow

This was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I really thought that I would have to fight my food demons to be able to stay on track. I have been pleasantly surprised.   I eat 5 to 6 little meals a day - well 3 meals and snacks in between - all realtively small. I have followed the book of instructions that they have given and it really works.   I am now down 33 pounds as of this morning. I have had two fills - both successful and no complications.

Well....

I'm down 17 pounds. Which is great. I have been walking every day for about an hour.   I have no restriction - so i just stop eating when I feel satisfied and not when I'm full. Never thought I would be able to do that. Wow.   All my incisions have healed nicely. I had very little shoulder pain from the gas of the surgery. It last for maybe two days and disappeared.   I bought three new shirts yesterday. All a size 2x - used to be a 3x. Feels good. Can't wait for the next few week

20 Days and Counting

Well - 20 more days until my surgery. Once the September long weekend is over I start my 10 day preop diet. :blushing:   I can hardly wait till I can get going on my new life. I joined the Aquatic Center near my house and after surgery will be getting a gym pass.   These last few weeks have been so long because I knew I was going to be having surgery and have been very anxious to start.
