1st fill today

Got 3 cc's in a big band, and he told me never to ask again. So I won't. I agree it doesn't matter - doc said there's no way I'll run out of room in the band and everyone is different so counting numbers doesn't matter. He wants me to focus on what I can control - portions, food choices, exercise, etc. Can't argue with that!

I was pretty nervous about the fill. Have read some stories about how it hurts, not being able to swallow, etc. So far so good at 8 hours into it. The numbing shot didn't really hurt - felt less painful than the prick to my finger to check my blood sugar (by the way, I'm still in remission - no metformin since before surgery and checking in with fasting numbers in the 70's on average.) The fill shot felt about the same as the numbing shot - again, no pain and less than the finger prick.

He said I've done better than most with my weight loss since the surgery (of the patients he sees - all programs are different). That made me really happy and the will power I've executed worth it! GO ME! hahahaha...

Hope you are having some GO YOU moments. Let's keep fighting the fight and working toward our goals.

Doc jazzed me up when he said his next goal for me is the weight to begin with a ONE....I'm 213 today so 14 # to go. HERE I COME!!!
