One Month Later....

It has been one month, since I had the procedure and I feel pretty good. My first fill is tomorrow and am curious to see what it is like. I was told not to eat for 2 hours before the fill. I'm sure I'll learn this tomorrow, but am wondering how are you supposed to eat after getting a fill.

I am doing good with not really craving any food. I have been doing some shopping at a new, Whole Foods Market not far from me and have really enjoyed foods from their "raw" bar (vegan, vegetarian, raw & living foods). There is this cucumber-yogurt dip that is so yummy and healthy. It is delicious. I also have enjoyed healthy items from their self-serve "to-go" bar.

It was pretty funny that a couple of weeks ago, I was having dinner w/a co-worker (a working meeting) and she later commented how slow I ate. I just told her that I'm changing how I eat. It was an odd moment, because I wasn't really sure how to respond.

I've done really good with my exercising. At least 30 minutes at the gym at work and then I usually ride 5 miles on the old stationary bike at home. On the weekend, when I can't go to the gym, I ride the bike.

...and I am down 21 pounds since my pre-op on 08/26. :ohmy: I think that yesterday when I weighed myself and saw myself at 194.6, I couldn't help it. I got a little giddy. :frown: I think it just kindof really hit me, that I am on my way to being healthy and happy with myself. When I make it below 190, I don't know what I'll do with myself.

I hope everyone else is doing good. Take care.
