Tomorrow's my 3 month bandaversary...yay! I've lost 55.4# since my pre-op diet a week before surgery. I started at 313.4 and now I'm 258. I can't wait until I et down below 250, then I'm be closer to onderland than to the 300's. I'm down from a size 28 to a 22.

I've had 2 fills so far, but 3 adjustments. I was having trouble with mushies so before going to solids I had an unfill. They removed 3.2ccs which was everything they could get out. They said that left me with 0.5ccs. 2 1/2 weeks later everything was going well so I went back in for my first fill--2.5ccs. I felt good after this, still not to my sweet spot but I definitely had restriction. Then 1 1/2 weeks ago I went back for fill #2 and they put another 1 cc in. I now have 4 ccs total in my 10 cc band. I feel like I'm a hairs bredth away fromt he sweet spot. Great restriction, the only problem is that the fullness only last 3 1/2-4 hours instead of 5.

Exercise is going well, although that's never been a huge issue for me. I work out 2 times a week with my trainer for an hour. I alos do 30 minutes cardio on those days. I also try to do an additional day of cardio for 1 hour. I did intervals on the treadmill today walking for 5 minutes at a 3.5 then running for 5 minutes at a 5.0 for a full hour.

A couple of other things I've noticed...I think I'm starting to lose some of my hair, although I have a lot of very fine hair so a few less strands should not be that noticable. I've also noticed my teeth are whiter, no doubt thanks to my Diet Coke abstinece.

I have updated photos on my blog if anyone is interested.

I had my 3 mo. Bandiversary last week. I'm down 48.5 pounds total, 29.5 since surgery. I've moved from a size 24 pant to an 18. I reached Onederland today (199.5) and a few weeks ago moved to the 'Overweight' BMI category. I've had 3 fills (last one today) and am up to 5.6cc's/10cc band. I had a little restriction with the last one, but I think this one will make a difference.

Overall, I'm really happy with things, expecially as a low BMI'er. I'm doing well on making the diet part a lifestyle...I'm not 'dieting' (never again) and I never drink my meals (except after a fill). No food is off limits and I eat mainly what my family eats, but I'll eat more of the Protein and skip the starches. I'm having no trouble getting in the right amount of daily protein and keeping the calories in line is going well. On the other hand I need a lot of work in making the lifestyle change with exercise...it's been very inconsistent and non-existent at times.

Here's to month 4! Sounds like everyone is doing great!
