    So I have been a bad blogger and part of my reason is that I have been living with a tight band hoping it will get better. The good news is that I didn't gain an oz during the holidays. The bad news is that I vomit dailly :thumbup: So my nurse will be here any moment to remove some fluid. I hope it's just right after this. Sarah

    I finally got my second fill on friday. I lost about a pound with the first fill. This one should be my last, I feel it. I now have 2.5cc's in a 4cc band. I can only eat VERY small meals. Which is fine with me. I had some major slimming Sunday and tonight I ate too much and have a stomach ache. I am going to have to get on track and follow ALL the rules or be in pain after eating. I ate half a McDonalds salad. I was ravenous after all the liquids over the weekend. I am down to 238. I am really crossing my fingers I can be near 200 my New Years.

    Hoo I have had the food stuck thingy for the last 20 minutes. Wow that's fun. I am going to try yoga tonight for the first time post op. I did some sit ups a few days ago without any promblem. So my core muscles seem ready for a workout. :huh2: Anyone want to do a challenge? I need motivation. I am going to buy a bunch of low carb food and veggie protien to see if I can kick some ass. We could do low carb plus 30 min a day work out. Also I am going to start posting my Thursday weigh ins. 241 yesterday.

    Are you watching carbs? I am so confused I want to be skinny. :huh2:
  8. Sarahbear commented on Sarahbear's blog entry in Blog 71137
    Yeah that sounds reasonable. I am not sure how many are good. I don't have a nutrionalist.

    Still nada. I am not gaining or losing. LAME. I even have joined roller derby which means I am skating and skating my butt off. I guess it's time to kick out all the carbs. I so don't want to "diet" but I am not happy at this weight at all. I am also weeks away from a fill. I think Nov 6th is the soonest. I do feel restriction so I am not sure why I can't budge the scale. I have been eating protein and 3 small meals. What gives? Sarah:eek:

    Soooo I am not losing. But I look and feel better. I started doing roller derby which btw is an insane workout. I think I may have actually gained some muscle so I am not beating myself up about losing. I am still at about 15lbs lost. I was hoping for allot more at this point. But reading the forums I see people don't magically lose until they get proper restriction. My fill is about a week old now. I feel a little bit different but not much. I really don't want to calorie count but I think I will try to add it up to see if I am taking too much in. I would guess I am doing 900-1200 a day.

    My first fill was awesomely easy! It was about as painful as a flu shot. Hehe. 1.5 cc's in. My band holds 4 that should be good for awhile.:biggrin:
