Well it has been a while since I have been on here. I am 5 weeks post op and I have felt pretty good until today I have not felt to well. Back to the Dr on Monday for first fill. I think I have lost another 4lbs which would put me at 22lbs down. I am a little nervous about the fill but I know I will be fine because my mom will be there for support. Even though I have not lost a lot I am already starting to feel better. Everyone tells me I can tell you have lost weight but I can't. My mom tells me to pick up a 20lb bag of dog food this will let you know just how much weight you were carrying around with you that makes me feel so much better.

Your mom is right, even try lugging a 10 lb bag of potatoes all day, then let it go.... Feels better doesn't it? Every pound lost is a victory so good for you losing that weight!

Don't be nervous about the fill. You just lie there and they shoot you twice, once with the Novocain and the second time with the fill. Just a pinch like a flu shot. Check out my blog I have an entry about my first fill!

Thanks so much dawalsh and Chicago rose for the encouragement. I am so glad I have this to keep me motivated in my Band Journey. My Dr's appointment is at 1:45pm tomorrow will try to keep everyone posted.
