Today I finally went shopping to buy a few new outfits for my vacation. I used to hate shopping for clothes, but since the surgery, I have lost 26 pounds and my clothes were getting baggy. Obviously I am in the in between stage, but to be able to fit into an XL shirt and shop on the regular ladies size in Catos. Awesome feeling. i just hope my trip to California this weekend on vacation doesn't blow the diet. I just had my first fill and to be honest i don't notice a change, kinda scary. Oh well, todays a good day

It feels great once you start fitting into smaller clothes. Well done.

be careful when you do go away. Both times I had to have an unfill was 4-7 days after the fill appt. Make sure you do liquids the first couple days and then go to soft food. The fill can make the stomach a little swollen around the band which can cause things to get stuck.

^{Thanks, you guys. Can't wait to go sight seeing. Maybe this time I won't be so out of breath like before:)}

I hope I can go shopping too soon. It does take some time to feel restriction I too went on vaca a week after fill it got tight on trip be a little careful at restaurants Congrats
