Walked about 45 minutes during my lunch break. I am on liquids until this evening when I can convert to mushies. When I came back in I drank some protein stuff by bolthouse farms.. probably about 9 ounces or so and now my freaking chest is tight again. This is going to take some getting used to and I have got to learn to start SMALL and work my way up. I'm not bad like yesterday but this is fairly uncomfortable which means... IT"S WORKING after only one fill. Of course he said the fill can cause slight swelling which is why liquids for two days so It may relax up some but.. this is how it works. I was just kind of surprised because I have read a lot of comments about the 1st fill not really working. Maybe it's the size of my band and the fac that it only holds 4 thingies and he put in 2.2. I actually think I will bust out of 300 by the end of the month!!!

Your doing great...It is good to know whats going to happen when I get my first fill. Mine isn't until the 26th, can you believe that? Until then, pure will-power!

Go Tracy!

Breaking 300 is GREAT. You started at .5 pounds higher than me. I was 331 even at surgery - and it took me stinking FOREVER to break the 300 pound barrier. I am cheering you on to pass me on the way down.

GO GO GO!
