I wanted to also answer a couple of questions that were asked....

I have not reached my goal, I want to loose another 25 pounds (veru douable :0) ). I am not sure what they do when you reach your goal. I had 4 fills and 1 unfill. I do have some saggy skin but I am hoping that will tighten up with exercise...I wish I had been excersing more over the last year. After surgery I felt like there was slight restriction but that went away after the swelling went away. My first fill gave me some restriction, I started feeling hungrier so I git the second fill. My third fill was almost perfect, so I figured one more would but perfect. The fourth fill was great at first but ended up being too tight so Iasked my doctor to take some out. I current have 5.5cc in my 10cc band.

Way to go Alison! :thumbup:It's not bragging, it's reporting. We bandsters, especially newbies like me, want to hear about the success stories. I hope you keep on this site and continue to inspire newbies like myself and even ones who've had it for a while but haven't worked it quite as well as you.

      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.

      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!!
