I am at the doctor for my for my first fill. I am nervous as hell!!!!

I am at the doctor for my for my first fill. I am nervous as hell!!!!

I haven't told either. My husband, daughter, 2 best friends, and another friend who has a band knows. Other than that I didn't tell. I don't want people watching everything I eat and making judgements. I am a teacher, so I am on vacation for the summer now. Everyone knows that I am on a diet. I hope to lose 10 pounds before school beings in August. I didn't even tell my mother because she is 91. I don't want her to worry.
I say it is your business if you don't want to tell.

WOW!!! That is great weight loss. I only had my surgery last Friday, and I really haven't lost anything yet. Unfortunately I had to go back to work the following Tuesday, so I actually only had Monday off. If only I could win the lottery!!

I only got my band last Friday, but I fell like I had 2 small victories today.
First I went to McAllisters and had a bowl of Soup. I ate so slowly that the soap got cold before I finshed it. I probably ate a bit too much, but I didn't eat all of it!!! That would have never happened in the past. I guess next time I should order the cup instead of the bowl.
Then I went to an office building. I walked down the stairs from the 3rd floor instead of taking the elevator. Small steps, but steps non the less.
I have found this wonderful juice that I LOVE. I will be sorry when I go off of liquids because then I won't be able to drink it anymore.

I am in the same boat as you right now. I am finding that I am becoming more neurotic these days and I am 5 days post-op. I am definitely having the "holy crap, what have I gotten myself into!?" issue. I have never been one to wish time away, but right now I would like to fast fwd about 2 months. Everybody on here seems genuinely nice, helpful, and concerned for each other's well being, which is so nice. I was also wondering about this "slime" business, and now I know . I hope we can both relax and let time do it's thing so we can get on with this journey to our new, happier, healthier selves!! Good Luck!!
