Well Duh...

I had a "Duh" moment today at my fill appointment. As much research as I did for 5 yrs prior to getting the band, and all the things I've read I never thought about, or put together the fact that the reason our fills work and don't, then work again is fat loss and shifting.

 

When my Dr said this today I was just like Ooooooohhhhhhh DUH!

 

The reason we get fills - fat loss around the band makes the band looser, hence the fill to tighten, then fat shifts, especially as you lose it, so there's days it'll seem SUPER tight and days it'll seem SUPER LOOSE, same thing with various times of day.

 

WELL DUH! How I missed that one I didn't know. For some reason it never "clicked" to me that our stomaches have fat around them.

 

In other news my total weightloss since Surgery on 12/18/09 is 47lbs WOO HOO! Got another CC put in today, bringing me up to 4 cc's.

 

1 cc at install Dec 18th

1 cc Jan 18th

1 cc Feb 8th

1 cc Mar 5th

 

And in other other completely random news... I had Maple Bacon Ice Cream tonight.. Yes I said Bacon Ice Cream - and it was SO good! If you live in AZ be sure to try Sweet Republic - SO good, but that Bacon One.. WOW
