  1. First Fill Today

    Sooo, I had my first fill today, 1.5 cc in my 10 cc band. It wasn't bad at all, Dr. McEwen got me first stick =]! He also does a numbing shot so you really don't even feel it. The Doctor's Office told me clears for 24 hour, full liquids for another 24 hours, then play it by ear. I feel a little change already, It may just be my mind. I was already feeling restriction I have cut my food intake by like 75%.
     
    That kind of got me introuble last week at the dietician. I had been eating so little she made me add in some more stuff. Just making sure I have meat, more calories, more protein. I am sure I was probably starting to go into starvation mode. So between now and my appt 10/11 I gain a few pounds. Still getting less that 1,200 calories, so my body is probably just adusting.
     
    I started a silly yoga routine at night. It is off my OnDemand, but it is a 20 minute workout I can handle. Also working to build up more time on my elliptical everynight. Walking 1+ miles a few days a week.
     
    Over all I think I am doing everything right. I have lost a good amount. This surgery was sprung on me very fast, I wasn't even thinking about it before my first appt 8/27. Surgery 9/18.
     
    When driving back to work after my fill appt I really was thinking about the surgery. I walked in that morning not really understanding the full extent, not seeing this is now the reality of the rest of my life. I remember laying back on the operating table, my heart rate sped up. It sank in at that moment, right before I was out for surgery. Before I could comprehend or think. Just a split second of seeing the rest of my life. Now here I am, and I would never take it back either. I feel great, am losing(besides past week or so), excersizing. I know my goal weight is coming sooner rather than later. I can see and identify my day to day mistakes, and I am curing them all.
