  1. Yay today!!

    · tavimew · 10/05/2010 17:00

    Got my 2nd fill yesterday and today I'm 215, YAY! :thumbup: I'm still doing liquids today, tomorrow mushies. First thing this morning I noticed I didn't wake up thinking of food :confused:, that's strange for me. I'm sitting here right now and my brain is saying you should have eaten by now but my stomach is saying no way.
     
    I still have the pain in my left side (not port side) and my surgeon says it's muscle, I need to stretch more before working out and take Advil.
     
    I am so happy I got banded, I really feel this is going to work well for me. I feel to good when I put on my clothes and they are getting bigger, I'm shrinking!!!
     



  2. 2nd Fill Today!!

    · tavimew · 10/04/2010 22:23

    Got my 2nd fill today, 1.5cc. Feels really tight now, Yay! Trying to drink protein drink right now and can only take small sips. Fill went much better than last time, doctor hit the port with 1 stick, and stick was less painful, Yay again! I've lost so far 22lbs since 8/17/10 and I think this band is really working for me

  3. I'm in my teens!!

    · tavimew · 09/24/2010 15:52

    I'm 219.8 today!! YAY FOR ME :thumbup:
    I'm so happy the weight is coming off. I stopped counting calories and protein grams, stopped stressing so much about losing. I know I'm eating way healthier than I was before banding. I've decided not to watch what I eat as long as I feel good and my hair is not falling out. I'm eating when I'm hungry and only until I'm satisfied. I do reach for the protein first and take my vitamins. When I'm stressed and want to eat, I get a sugarfree popsicle or sugarfree Jello, usually can't eat all the Jello cup, but enough to make my brain happy. YAY again :smile::tongue:

  4. Day 35 Banded

    · tavimew · 09/20/2010 20:17

    Well I'm down 18lbs to 221 today. Had a stall there for a while, realized I wasn't eating enough. Now I'm trying for 900-1000 calories a day and the weight is starting to come off again. Eating that much is hard, on solids already. Never thought I would ever have trouble eating enough food :thumbup:! But I really am starting to feel I'm getting in control of myself. Still having food cravings but eating much much healthier than before the band. Strangely not missing bread, would like pasta though but won't die without it.

  5. Post fill day 1

    · tavimew · 09/14/2010 17:57

    Well I survived my first fill, yay. Feeling fine today, down to 222 on the scale. Not having any problem eating thin cream of wheat this morning and not hungry now. I am more optimistic that this is really going to work for me. Lost 17lbs since my surgery on 8/17/10 yay!
