3 months since surgery!

Well, it's been 3 months since my surgery,,, well, actually tomorrow, Thursday the 21st will be my 3 month mark. I've lost 33 pounds and it's been SO slow. I actually lost 17 of the pounds on the 2 week liquid diet before surgery and 16 pounds since. WOW,,,2 1/2 months to loose what I lost in the first 2 weeks,,, but I guess that was a lot of fluid weight in those first 17 pounds. I have had 2 fills and am scheduled for my third which I hope is the charm,,, this coming Monday, the 25th. I do feel that I have the band,,, certain things stick, breads and rice. If I eat too fast without chewing it sticks and if I drink too soon after eating it sticks,,,, SO, that's progress I think, lol:-) At least I know the band is there,,, if it weren't for these little things, I'd swear he forgot to put my band in? LOL All in all, I'm still very happy I had the surgery,,, I might be loosing it slow until I get that good restriction that is referred to as the "sweet spot" but with every pound I loose,,, I'm more positive than ever that I'll never see that pound again!!!
