I should have started writing this before I got the surgery done, but oh well. Things are going well with the band. I am finally at a good fill level. I am already at 4.2 cc in a 4.0 band. They are going to check my levels next month at my next appt.

I have lost around 55 lbs or so, my scale is always off compared to the doc's office. I feel pretty good, but have been losing very slowly. I have stepped up my exercise and joined the Y last week. I do the Body for Life program. Yes, it is hard but is is also very rewarding. I love the results I get from it. I don't take a bunch of supplements, just drink my own protein drinks, etc...

It is frustrating when you spend exorbitant amounts of money, and it is just as hard as dieting in my opinion. I am however, very happy that I got the band. I know I won't gain the weight back because I can go in for fills when I need them, or start seeing the pounds come back on.
