Got my 2nd fill yesterday

I got my second fill yesterday. I keep waiting to feel a restriction, but yesterday was liquids, and today mushies. So tomorrow should be the test to see. As for now, I feel the same, she only put in 1 cc, so between my last and today I have a total of 4. I just hope by the next fill I will feel something. As for my oatmeal breakfast this morning, I didn't feel anything or any difference than before(no restriction feeling). I tell you that honestly, I am getting frustrated. I am glad I did

got my first fill today!!!

I went to the doctors today and got my first fill! Yahoooooo!! Finally I feel like I am getting somewhere. This unbelievable hunger has come over me the past ten days or so. I think it was because I was totally healed and no inflammation was left after the surgery, at least that is what my nutritionist explained to me sometimes happens, but I think with me going to stage 5, I had free range and cravings I could have fresh food, fruit &veggies ohhh I have missed them. Anyway it didn't help bu

I am coming upon my 1 month anniversary. It has gone by fast, but at the same time slow. I would say the first two weeks with the healing and pain were rough at times but, then nothing is easy re: losing weight. I am pleased and shocked at my progress.

I like that I can sit down and eat a meal, salmon and a sweet potatoes or some chicken and butternut squash, I can eat with my family and feel normal. I a

I got my stitches out!

Oh itchy, uncomfortable and aggravating, those dang stitches are gone (May 29th). It was amazing how quickly they came out, and the only spot that bled of course was the big ole' frankenstein stitch, (the long one on my left side). They butterflied it and I am so happy!! Those things really tugged and made me uncomfortable, I guess I healed pretty well b/c they were happy with my progress. Only showers for 5 days, no pool, sauna, lakes etc.... as if I could be so lucky at the moment. I would

1 week post op, OMG, what a trip!!

So last Thursday, May 16th I had my long awaited surgery . It has now been a week of recovery, and shakes and learning and whining . Yes, whining, I am going to be totally blunt and honest here. On the 15th I freaked out b/c I was expected to have morning surgery on the 16th, well I found out I would have to wait till 3:30 p.m. I freaked, all plans thrown to the wind, the babysitter, hubby's work sched. My mum & dad helping out, and on top of the needless endless pain of hunger, b/c cl
