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:

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:

Thank you I am trying not to stress. BTW you look GREAT.

I watched a youtube video that is a big needle. I don't think I will look down.

Thank you! you're so right!

So what a great weekend. I exercised allot, went hiking and long walks. It felt great. My lap band nurse just emailed me and wants to do the fill tomorrow. I am kinda nervous and super excited. I was so hungry yesterday. Exercise = ravished! I ate two small fajitas the other day. That's almost twice what I was eating 2-3 weeks ago. So yeah I am ready. I also have been eating pasta without any incedent, I read that I shouldn't be able to do this after a fill? Is this true :thumbup: I love my whole wheat pasta. Any sage advice for my first fill? I was told not to eat after a certain time.

Woohoo looks like I am making a little progress. I weighed 240.4 today! That's great. I might make my 5 pound week goal by Monday. Which will be 237. I am going to keep up the 45minutes of exercise all week. Wish me luck.

Since I can't have diet soda in my drinks I went to juice. So I am sure that is the offender. I think the best choice may be having one vodka martini. I go out all the time to live music venues it's hard to escape having one drink. I have cut out all booze this week, we'll see.

So I am not losing weight :thumbup: I ramped up my exercise yesterday. I also started drinking coffee, in the past it has helped me be less hungry and more active. I want to try to lose 5 pounds this week. I think I will just walk everyday for at lest 45 minutes. I am starting to wonder if my drinking alchohol is slowing things down. I may just have to cut it out again and see. Today I was 243. I want the scale to MOVE! My fill is on 10/8 seems like forever. Though at the same time I am not eating that much. I just had 4 spinach ravioli for lunch and I am happy and full.
