2cc fill... 3 months! progress

Well I have definitely not been posting on here like I would have like to. All I can say is this 20 credit semester is really starting to catch up to me!

 

Just to briefly update on here It has now been 3 MONTHS since my surgery!! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by. I have been extremely busy and I suspect that is why time seems to be racing by.

 

At this moment I am 38 lbs down since my surgery date. It is amazing to me that I could have been carrying around that much excess weight. I really don't notice a difference much in how my clothes fit or anything yet, but I guess I really didn't expect to until I hit at least 50 lbs. Looking at pictures though I can see a difference and people have started to ask.

 

I have had 4 fills so far but the 3rd one I do not think actually went into my band. So last week I had a 2 cc fill under fluoroscopy to make sure everything was reaching my band ok. I can definitely tell the difference with that extra 2 cc s in there and I feel like I am doing a lot better because of it!

 

I hope to see more progress especially now that the weather is getting so nice and I can spend more time exercising outdoors! I hope to keep update a lot more frequently but easier said than done. Until then...

Have you experienced any pain from the fill? I had my first fill and I could not eat or drink for 4 days. I went back and he removed .5 cc and was able to drink. I can eat very little. I experience a lot of pain in my chest then it goes to my right shoulder. The pain is very bad.
