2nd fill today

Hello everyone. So today was fill #2. Doctor seems pretty happy with my success to date - I am down 35 pounds so far. I only lost 3.5 pounds between fill #1 and today..(2 weeks) not sure if that's normal or not - they seemed happy, so I guess I will be too. Am hoping it picks up a little more now...we shall see, I guess! I hope you are all doing well and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

So today is 6 days post op and I woke up today feeling soo so much better. I am still really sick of soup - I hate soup now, I think of soup and get very angry - like the hulk! I have to go back to work tomorrow and really would just rather win the lotto, become independently wealthy and just stay home for the rest of my life - however, here in the real world....yeah, back to work.

Update

So, the pulmonologist hasnt yet ready that stupid, pain in my ass sleep study, so they pushed my surgery back to November 4th. I am actually not terribly upset about that. It gives me time to really get mentally prepared for eveything - the countdown begins, and I am trying to turn my fear and anxiety into excitement and joy!! Why am I so scared about something that is going to be so great?? :cursing:

Hello all - I dont know who would want to read this - I am mainly going to do this for myself, so I can keep track of my journey, but if anyone else finds it humerous or helpful - I am glad. Today is 10-6-10. I recieved insurance auth for my surgery today. They want to do it NEXT Thursday....I am a little scared and a whole lot excited. Did the sleep study last night - that was 9 hours of my life I will never get back - but I passed it, so I guess, whatever you have to do ..... I still have
