Well I went for my 3rd fill last night and they now want to throw a parade in my honor...hahahaha. No but seriously since my last visit on Jan 7th I have lost 18 lbs. The PA was thrilled with my progress and thought I was nuts when I said I would like to try an adjustment. After some sweet talking she agreed to give me a small one. She gave me 1cc which brings me up to 7 total. I only had Soup last night and a cup of greek yogurt so far today so too early to tell about any restriction but am looking forward to my first meal to see how it feels. Thanks to everyone for all the good luck messages yesterday also, your support it greatly appreciated!!!!!

I thought I felt some restriction in the first couple days after the 2nd fill but not really sure, I just seem to be eating right and a lot less then I used and I'm in the gym a couple days a week. But I felt like if I wanted to eat more I could but really tried hard to behave myself. Hopefully now I will have good restriction and the pounds just keep falling off.

That is so cool! You should be super proud of yourself!! I know that my big issue right now is exercise....I need to find time to get it in everyday. My schedule is so hectic that I always seem to find an excuse as to why I can't do it! :thumbup: I'm sure that moving my butt would seriously help the pounds come off a lot faster. Keep up the incredible work!!! And thank you for sharing!!! :thumbup:

Wow... Congratulations! Thats awesome... I went in yesterday and didn't get a 3rd fill... I can barely eat as it is so he said just give him a call when I feel like I need another... I think I actually gained a pound or two the first week after my second fill because I could only get cream Soup down and I was having a cup of soup like every 90 minutes or so because I was getting hungry so fast, but the second week, things loosened up a bit and I was able to eat very carefully and by the time I went back to the Dr. after the two weeks I had a 3 pound lose from the prior visit...

Keep us updated... Your doing great....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
