4th Fill today July 1st. 7.65cc I'M TIGHT!

Today i went in to have my 4th fill i am now at 7.65cc's. :smile: i have had some personal problems at home and work so my emotional eating habits are coming back to haunt me no matter how hard i fight them. :sad: I am hoping this new fill will keep me from being able to eat the crap my emotions tempt me to eat. I was doing ok in the mornings but by lunch time seems like my band is looser because as early as 2 hours after a good solid food meal i was feeling hungry again already. Evenings have

June 24th 3rd fill a charm??

So, this last 2 weeks since my last fill became torture...ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS EAT! AND YES, I WAS HUNGRY! :tongue2: This last week was riddled with failures. I ate half of a steak house burger and fries for lunch one day and that wasn't the only time I fell off the wagon, but on this day I decided this is a bunch of crap after I feed my emotions with half of a snickers bar! HOW FOOLISH I HAVE BEEN! :frown: Lucky for me my doctor is the best! They scheduled me for my first day off that I c

How's my 2nd fill working?...

Well the 2nd fill has broken my plateau. Am I to my "sweet" spot? Don't think so, but feeling less hunger than ever.   Tonight I ate about 5ozs of good healthy food and felt satisfied. It's now 11pm and my belly is rumbling a bit, but seems that i always have a problem this time of night. Guess I should hurry and get this blog done so i can go sleep off the hunger?   I go July 1st for my next fill. So, in two weeks i think i will be where i want to be! Today is June 13, 2010 and I

2nd Fill Today

Went back in today to get another fill. I wanted more than he gave me, but he was really concerned that I would be over filled and then suffer the weekend. This time since I knew what to expect I was less nervous and the needle wasn't anything more than a tiny quick pinch. He filled me to 5.7cc so lets see how this will work! I stopped at Wendy's and got a baked potatoe and a junior frosty to sample both. I was only able to eat about 4 tablespoons of potatoe and about half an ounce of the f

Started with Personal Trainer Today

Today I got started with Lori a personal trainer with 23 hour fitness. She got me set up with a simple full body workout. She kicked my butt, but that wasn't so hard to do. I am such a whimp and have no staminia...I can't wait to feel like exercising instead of dreading it. My arms are so weak 20lb weights are all I can bare to lift.   On another note...looking forward to tomorrow, I get to see the Doc for my second fill. Hopefully this time it will be an effective one. I am bouncing b

Doin' the happy dance!

Am I feeling restriction yet?....NOOOPE! I am doing the happy dance because I expected to have to beg to go in for another fill, but heck no! I had ZERO resistance, just sweet, kind, gentle understanding. My doc's staff are so nice and i think most, if not all are patients of his too, so they know what I am going thru. I love that I am not treated like a fat woman there! They make you feel like family. So without asking when I told her my name she says, "oh, do you need another fill?" So,

My first fill was 4.4cc I am NOT happy..grrrrrr

I was very nervous about the fill needle and being poked, but turned out to be pretty simple.   When I was laying there with the needle and syringe sticking out of my body the doc says, "ok, now I'm going to have you sit up and drink some water'. At the point I started laughing hysterically, tears and all. I said, "REALLY! :w00t:With the needle sticking a foot out of my body?!" The doc and my hubby looked puzzled or maybe they decided I had really lost it, but I seriously couldn't stop lau

First Blog

I have never done a blog before so this is more of an experiment in...can I figure this out? I was banded on May 5, 2010 by Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum in Aurora, Colorado. Before the pre-diet I weighed in at 212 pounds. At my pre-op appointment May 1, 2010 I was 196. May 16th, I weighed in at 186. Today June 1st I weighed in at 181, but that is what I have weighed for the last several days now. I guess I have hit my first plateau??! Uggggghhh! Hate those! So, I am super excited to have my first fill
