Hey Girl, So I stop by to check in on you and WOW I read your PREGNANT!!!!! Well congrats, I am sure your excited but worried at the same time. Your gonna do great..after the little one comes along you will kick it into high gear and get your lbs back!!!

Hey Beth,

I was just checking in on you to see how things are going. I just had my first fill yesterday...that was interesting, but I am ready to kick it in high gear. He put in 6.3 cc's for my first fill..I thought that was a lot but I'm gonna see how I do. Have you had any fills yet? I'm down right around 40lbs and hoping to loose another 20 by xmas *fingers crossed*.

All for now, hope all is well with you!

Coleen

Congrats on the surgery. I did find after about the 3rd week I could literally eat ANYTHING I wanted including a McD's mighty kid double cheese happy meal (shame) I think I had to mentally see I was going to be able to eat those things because I know for me once I CAN'T eat something that is all I want to eat. I try my best to do low carb which is hard to do with kids. I now bring a little stylish lunchbox everywhere I go and I fill it with things I can eat...Like string cheese sticks, lunch meat and cheese roll ups with a small container of mayo to dip it in. My biggest struggle is drinking my water..I am not big drinker to begin so Dr Baptista suggested I drink before I eat and that has really helped and it even helps me stay full longer. It's not easy that's for sure...I have to be aware everyday of what I am putting in my mouth..however if I want a cookie I have ONE otherwise I will eat everything just to not eat that one cookie lol. Keep me posted on your progress

Hey Teresa,

Just dropping in to see how you are doing. I have had a really busy summer so I am hoping things settle down now that school is back in session and I can be on here more often. I am doing good...had my 3rd f/u appt with Dr. Baptista today and I am down a total of 38 lbs from the start of my journey and 23 lbs since surgery on 6/19 it has been a little slow but chugging along. I haven't gotten a fill yet because Dr. Baptista is happy with my progress and the percentage of my fat loss. So we shall see! Hows things been going with you?

Hey Beth,

Just dropping a quick note to see how you are doing. I have had a really busy summer with the family and now back to a normal routine and hoping to be on here more often. How did things go with the surgery??? I am down a total of 38 lbs and finally hit Onderland YEAH!!!

Hi Teresa...I am good, I feel good. I did loose the 5lbs that I gained after soft foods and I think I have lost an additional 3 more lbs. Thanks for the heads up about the fill..I go tomorrow for my first one and let me tell you I am NERVOUS!!! I honestly don't know where my port is..I haven't "found" it yet. So I haven't been told but what are the diet restrictions after you get a fill?

Hi Teresa my name is Coleen...so glad to find someone local to keep in contact with. I am feeling really good still a little sore at the incision site..Dr. Baptista was able to do my surgery with 1 incision at my waistline and a tiny one at the breast bone so the one on my waist is still tender. All is good with my diet I am doing good with my 3 meals a day...however I did notice that the scale did go up a couple of pounds but from what I have been reading that's pretty normal...just hoping it starts to go in the other direction instead of continuing up lol. Have you had any fills yet? Curious to know how if feels to receive the fill and afterwards. Thanks for the friend invite...we will have to keep eachother motivated
