4th Fill

Well I had my 4th fill yesterday and I think I am pretty much there for now. I was at 5.3 ccs and now I am at 5.5 ccs. I feel great too!!!! :lol:

The actual fill was very traumatic for me. He put in a little and I got up to drink the water. It would not go down at all. I had to throw it up. He then pulled a little bit out and I still could not swallow any water. He then pulled all of it out and it turns out that I had some air in it and I was at 6 ccs with the air. He said that sometimes happens. So now I am at 5.5ccs and I drank some water and all was great!

I am getting full faster and I can tell a big difference. I had lost 2 pounds in the past 2 weeks and another 1 today. So I am pretty much at 27 pounds lost. I am very close to reaching one of my weight goals.

I have also noticed that I do not have as many bad cravings anymore. Even when I do have a craving I do not feel the need to indulge it. I used to think I had to satisfy every craving I ever had. That is one of the reasons I got to the weight that I got. Now I am eating very normal and cooking all of my food. It is very rare that I eat food that does not come from my kitchen. I LOVE THAT!!!! :thumbup:

I am still kind of on a whirlwind of emotions. I am happy and sad all at the same time. Very crazy. I get frustrated with the weight going up and down in the week. I asked the PA about that yesterday and he put my mind to rest. Said it was basically just water weight throughout the week. So that made me feel a little better. Other than the crazy emotions I am doing awesome and loving my band!!!! :biggrin:
