Week 22 Post-Op....Back in the Saddle

Finally! Yesterday I went back to my doctor for a refill. Two weeks of 4.9cc's is not working for me! I did not go back to 5.9cc's because I felt that was just too tight. I was not able to get in my water daily and I would throw up in my sleep sometimes. So I am at 5.6cc's currently.

Next month is my six months follow up so if I think 5.6cc's is just not enough then I will go to 5.8cc's.

For the past week and a half I have been sick. Terrible head cold which also caused me to lose my voice. I was not able to exercise at all! After getting into a routine after all these months, that made me feel crappy. I actually crave the movements now. That's a good thing....right?

So yesterday and today I was back on liquids. I have to say I am sick of soup. (giggle) I really need to get some more recipes to switch things up.

I did not gain any weight or lose any weight during my two week ordeal so I can't be upset. Lord knows the last thing I needed was a gain! I think I would have took a hammer to my scale if that would have happened. I am just five pounds from 200lbs and I want to reach that before my next doctor appointment, which is the week of Thanksgiving.

All in all it has been a pretty boring week because I was so sick.

I did discover that my band does not like Mahi Mahi much. So I will be staying away from that type of fish. Too dense I guess. One thing for sure....when you band doesn't like something...it will let you know!:huh2:

So ladies and gentleman, here I am....the Incredible Shrinking LaLa....Back in the saddle again!

Keep up the good work.

You can do it Laura....Shrinking LaLa

I know you can. I am saving for my band and I hope I can do half as good as you!

Its great that you did not gain!!! you are on your way to 200lbs, i cannot wait for that moment also ( hopefully by the end of next year)

Can you believe i have no idea how many CC my band has right now? maybe they told me but i was to loopy with meds to catch it.
