I made it to Onderland!

I can't figure out how to post a pic of myself? lol. So let me tell you a little about it. the pic on the left is of me on the evening before I started my 2 week pre op diet. I weighed in at 287. I was out having my "last meal" at Wendy's. The one of me on the right is of me today. I turned 49. It has not been easy, but I'm getting there. Old eating habits are hard to break, but i'm going to break them. I wish you all the best.

So today I went in for my 5th fill. I received 0.4cc. That is aggressive for me. I lost 8.4 pounds last month. Some days are better than others, but I am so thankful for my lap band. No weight gain during Thanksgiving!! Really!!! On to Onderland.

Today I went in for 3 month post-op visit. I did not feel I needed a fill, so I did not receive one. My weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week, and I am happy with that. I need to work on my head hunger. At times I get hungry, but I know it is not real hunger but I'm just missing foods that I use to eat so freely. I am so thankful for my lap band.

I went in for my 3rd fill today. I lost 9.8 pounds this past month. I'm feeling good. I am not in the green zone yet, but I watch what I eat and really try hard not to snack. I received a smal fill of .2.5cc so now my 10cc band is filled up to 4.95cc . It hasn't been easy, but I'm trying.

I had my 2 months post-op visit/fill. I received a .3cc fill so my 10cc band now has 4.7cc in it. My first fill was 1cc, but I had to have .6cc fluids removed because I could not get fluids down. Even after an unfill, I still lost 10 pounds the last month. I am happy with my results so far. it has not been easy. I have not reached the "green zone," so I have been watching what I eat. The band has helped me control my portions.

Surgery this morning went well/

Surgery this moring @ 7:30a. I'm ready.

I start pre-op diet tomorrow. I am ready to start this journey.
