August Rush in bandland!

[ddow58 2]

Well, I was back on track today. Did well with food. I can eat more than I should but trying to be better. I also got my sorry butt to the gym after work and had a good workout.

Who else was with me today?

A 4cc band will close pretty much at 4cc's. Just like a 10 will close at a ten. The smaller the band just means I had a "small stomach / esophagus." If they were to put a bigger one on me it wouldn't stay because it would be too big is the way I think they explained it. I am not sure though if I am correct. I will ask again my next fill. I am going to call today to see if I can go for a fill in two weeks. My first fill was last week. Or let me see if I can do it this Friday. I am going to call. Thanks you guys. :laugh::thumbup:

I was told that allergan has 2 sizes 10 cc and 14cc. The 4cc is not widely used anymore because of the new styles. Did you get banded in mexico?

I did, and you are correct they are very rarely used any longer. It is an Allergan band however. One of the girls I was there with had a different size though. So I don't know. Every time I asked if I am going to lose like everyone else, all doctors said I would. I am going to ask when I go back in though for a fill just to be reassured.

I was not with you but, I am proud of you. :laugh: I really need to get my butt in high gear. I am going to jump on the gym wagon with ya though. I can't make it to the gym now so I am going to take my pup for a walk. Thanks for the idea. :thumbup:

So I called for the fill today and she told me I can come in on the 29th which is okay with me. I ate less today which was good, I hope I keep that up. I am kind of just hoping because I am around menstrual time, that is the reason for me eating so much. Because before surgery I would do the same, eat often and would always lose weight during that time. So who knows.

Well I got a full medical release yesterday after having a hysterectomy last month. Now it's back to exercising for me! I think I really need it b/c I'm starting to lose my restriction now:(

Hey Diane,

Good on you for getting back on track. I was not able to do too well yesterday . I think I mentioned earlier that I have unexpected guests now so we have been taking them out to eat.

They are leaving this evening so I will definitely get back on track tomorrow first thing. I'm anxious to be back on the ball. I am ready to clearly see some weight loss. I drank a cup of senna tea this morning to jump start my cleansing and to get the gunk out. I haven't been eating much but just bad choices.

I may call for an appt for a fill too around the end of month.

Time to get it in gear.

Congrats on the release. How are you feeling? Was it hard to deal with the band in and the hysterectomy all within a month of one another? & yay to your motivation.

After waiting for an hour in the waiting room, then waiting another 40 minutes for my Dr. to come in,.......he came in and asked how I was doing, I said hungry, but I guess fine.. He said do you want a poke?(aka more fluid) he left to go get the stuff, then in walk three student Dr.s and all I could think of was "Grey's Anatomy" they fit the bill. I said, well what if I don't want you here, they said "well, we can leave at any time!" Of course I said "no", It's for school!

So then the Dr. comes in and this time he has a 3 inch needle! OMG! Of course I'm tough! I see him poke that 3 inch needle in me (mind you I have a very high tolerance for pain) and he begins telling the students about what he is doing. Then he lifts the seat up and I say "are you going to give me your 2 second poke" ha ha......then...he sticks the needle in and the student Dr. gives me a cup of Water and he says "drink"! So I drink, and as I'm drinking he is pushing in and pulling out the Fluid depending on how the water is going down. I forgot the funniest part, where he tells me to sit up and pretend like I'm farting (ha-ha) so the port would rise up to the surface! Anyway it ended up he put one cc in and I can feel it..got happy on one can of Soup (thank the lord)!

So when I go out to get in my car I had left the lights on because to get there is about 45 miles of driving with your lights on and had a dead battery.

Well had to call triple A get them to come out, in the mean time it's like 95f degrees in the sun....WOW that was hot.

What a day, anyway goodnight all !

HAPPY with my second fill.....no matter how "grey's anatomy" it felt like!

OK, I'm still waiting on the part where you tell us there was a McDreamy or McSteamy!!!!! That would have made it worth having an audience!

Okay guys I lost my grandpa yesterday. He had an unexpected fatal stroke:( I will be surrounded by food for the next 3-4 days. So far I'm doing good though and not taking it out on food. I'm just keeping myself busy instead.

So sorry for your loss Amanda.

This will be a test for you in more ways than one but can make it through.

Be well.
