5th adj. 33 lbs. lighter 3/6/08

Well, I went for my 5th adj. today. The Dr. was not there so his nurse did my adjustment. I was a little nervous at first but she did a good job. Seemed to take her a little longer to hit the port and that was a little painful. I asked about the size of my band and they didn't seem to want to go into those details. The nurse said that they like to go on how the patient feels and reacts to the adjustments and not how much fluid they have put into my band. I didn't push it. I was so dissappointed that I had only lost 2 lbs. since my last appointment. I had lost 4 fat lbs. but gained muscle from exercising so by my scale weight I only lost 2 lbs. That sucks. I will continue to stick to the diet and hope that I will start to drop a little more by the next visit. Still have not reached under 200 lbs. a couple lbs. to go. I only hope to do better next month.
