 I'm finally in the green zone YAY!! ( thats what the DR said today at my appt.) After an unfill in February  and 2 fills later I finally hit my green zone. I have 5.9ccs in my band.  I've lost 9lbs in 2 months which is awesome!! 3more pounds to go and I'll finally  be in ONEDERLAND!

I had my 4th fill on Tuesday, so far so good. I actually felt this fill tighten as the Dr was putting in the liquid. I'm not sure how many cc's is my band, I always forget to ask :(. For some reason I think this is the one. I can only eat a little bit of food and I'm full, never had that feeling before. I had to wait 9 weeks for this last fill cause I missed my last appt, but in that time I still lost 5lbs so not to bad. I go back in March so hopefully I'll have lost 10lbs:).

I had my 3rd fill yesterday and boy what a difference.

 I had my 2nd fill yesterday and boy do I feel a difference. I'm only able to eat half of what I could before, hope thats normal?
The fill itsself went a lot smother than the first time. I go back December 1st for my 3rd ajustment. I hope to be under 200 by than. 12lbs more to go before I reach onederland  Imy band.

I had my first fill today, not to bad I was still alittle tender in my port spot. I have to go back in 3 weeks and get another fill. DR said it should take about 4-5 fills to start felling resriction. Hope I'm not as tender in my port next time .

Yesterday was my post-op appt, everything was fine. I can resume normal activity. I'm so happy I can go back to work, also I can start eating veggies (well cooked), some fruit and beans YAY! When I stood on the scale at DR's office I lost 11lbs since surgery, I was soooo happy!.I go back to the DR at the end of Sept. for my first fill. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Today is a little better, went for a walk earlier. I was able to eat some tomato soup mmmm yummy. trying to get protein in for the day but very hard. drinking lots of water though. My stomach is very sore, I have 5 spots where they worked. Hopefully tomorrow will be better than today. cutting back on pain meds.

All I can say is WOW!  Surgery went well, but my insurance said I had to stay the night for observation. Came home this morning,  All I can say is chicken broth never tasted so good when you finally get past the ice chips. I started to feel alittle more normal once I could drink a protein shake. I'm glad to finally be pasted this part, now I can start my new future. So now I need a place on the loser bench

Today I had to start my clear liquids, at least I get a reprive from drinking those horrible protien shakes( If only for 2 days ).
Now I'm starting to think do I really want to do this? I know I need to, but I'm getting a little nervous

4 days before surgery. Surgery Date August 25,2009
