Another fill.. 7 1/2 months out

I FINALLY got in for the fill that I seem like I have been waiting forever for! YAY! I had a little fluid taken out in March, due to me having a cold and the drainage was miserable! I couldn't hold anything down. I made an appointment for April, but I couldn't get off work to make the appointment as our owners were in town. So, I finally got to go yesterday. They had taken .5 out of my band and put .3 in this time around. I should be around 7.7 in my band. Up until yesterday, I felt like I was eating more than I should and definitely hungrier. No fun. I could eat biscuits (even though I know I shouldn't) with no problem...I didn't get stuck on anything! Amazingly, i still lost a pound during that time. Now that I have a nice bump, I'm ready to get on the weight loss train fully. I have been trying to get my daily workout in and also trying to keep track of myself on sparkpeople.com. When I weighed this morning, I am 282, still up from my lowest of 280, but I know water weight can fluctuate, so whatever. Goal for next weight in: 272. Full steam ahead!

    Almost forgot..went to Fashion Bug yesterday. And, I am now a size 20/22. I stopped buying clothes in real sizes when I grew out of size 24 pants and opted for the 1-7 sizes Lane Bryant/Fashion Bug offered. I was a tight 5, but really could have been a 6. Now, I can pull off my size 5's without even unbuttoning ;-) And, my bra size also decreased! No longer a 46 F/DDD, I am now a 44 DD. Yippee!!

    Yeah for you. 7.7 cc. I was 5.9 and had to get some let out because I could not even swallow my spit. I want to get to 6 and hoping that will be my sweet spot and not have to get anymore. Had my surgery on Dec 31st and down 55 lbs and feel great. Happy for you on your new size of clothing. I have not bought any new bra's yet but those darn things are fallen out when I raise my arms up so I better get to the store. I am old and gravity does work here on earth.......LOL Have a great day and think skinny, Judy

    Im with you. I had a fill yesterday , too, of .3. Im filled to the same point you are after having an unfil for the same reasons. I am a little lighter than you are but our struggles seem to be the same. Hopefully this will do the trick and I will be unable to eat all those bad foods.
