Today I had a fill- just 3cc's. Ugh I was not ready for this one. It was my first fill at a new doctor, great office and wonderful staff. But today when she was feeling around for the port, i could have passed out. I think i was nervous and excited becasue every time i get a fill i seem to lose 15 lbs in a week. :thumbup: But she pushed around and then stuck me- i broke out in a cold sweat- not good. Then she moved it around until she found it, and then I swear i heard the swoosh of the band being filled... ugh ugh ugh... then i started to sweat more. I was not a happy camper today. Now im feeling ok, with my protien shake in hand, ugh but today not a good experience. Hope you are all well!! Keep up the great work!! :sneaky:

It will be ok... mine were so thick it was like drinking pudding...UGH!!!! Its worth it!!

About two weeks ago I started a new job which meant I needed to get new clothes ASAP. I was trying on old suits and dress and jsut laughed at what I was seeing. It was like I was leaving behind a person who never wanted to be there. When I put on my large skirt and my medium top this morning I was reminded of what I used to wear and how hard it was to be cute and find cute clothes that were not matronly in my size. Today I am in a Vera Wang skirt and Target top ( HAHA- you have to skimp somewhere :thumbup: ) And I have on 3 inch heels - another plus to losing wieght- you can actually wear your heels all day and not have to bring them to the cobbler after a week to have caps replaced. I hope everyone is doing well.. my next adventure will be swimsuit... and for the first time I am excited to put one on. WHAT!!! I never thought I would say that. Well keep it up everyone- as alwasys it keeps getting better!!

For the past 2 months the weight has been falling off but I have noticed some things that make me smile everyday that i never thought about..... 1. My rings are big... I can actually go buy the fashion fancy rings in a store and not hope and pray they have 10 but put on the 8 and smile. 2. I can run 3 miles without gasping for air and limping from shin splints. :cursing: 3. Going into a store and buying a large top or a dress in a medium. :mad2: 4. Being able to shop in any store I want to. 5. Out running my alwasy skinny sister. 6. Seeing poeple who have not seen me in months and have them gasp. 7. Going to the gym and getting the looks from the guys I am looking at. :thumbdown: 8...... There will be more but I just wanted to remind people that this is a journey and even if you dont lose a pound a day the small things for me like going to my jewlery box and putting on my size 8 rings remind me how great things are! Keep it up!! It keeps getting better!

Its a gas bubble. Its from them pumping air into you during surgery.. its was def the most painful thing post-op I dealt with. I just walked around and steached alot... but I never laid down flat...ever!!! It will go away but it takes some time. Good luck!
