I recieved my fourth fill today.  I now have 2 cc in my 4 cc band.  I will be on liquids for the next 3 days and I have lost 7 lbs since my last visit so I am averaging about 1 lbs a week.  

This morning I recommitted my self to an exercise routine.  I had several obstacles in my way but now I am getting up 30 minutes early to make time to exercise.  15 min on threadmill and 15 min on stationary bike and 100 lift with my weights.

I got my last fill on December 3rd and it was a pretty aggressive one.  Dr. Mejias put in .5 ccs at each fill and this one I could truly feel.   He instructed me to do liquids for 3 days, mushies for 3 days and then back to solid.  It has been a long week.  I'm just now beginning to be able to eat a little something ten days later.   I guess each fill take a lot longer to come out of.  I had a half of thinly sliced chicken breast and couldn't get anymore down.  I truly hate to live off of soup because of my high blood pressure and the sodium in most soups.  This is a learning process everyday because I seem to not be able to tolerate eggs and that was one of my ways to get my protein in.  I am just going to have to get creative with that.     35 lbs lost to date.

I went in to have my third fill today.  I have lost 6 pounds since my last visit with Dr.  Mejias.  Another .5 cc in my 4 cc band.  Hopefully with this fill will come some restriction.

Had my second fill today.  There has not been any weight loss since my last visit 4 weeks ago.  Dr. Mejias added .5 cc to my 4 cc band- now giving me a total of 1 cc's.  Hopefully with this comes some sort of restriction and some weight loss.  We will see.  Next fill is schedule for November 26th.

Had my first fill on this date.  Haven't lost anymore weight.  We will see how this goes.

I had my surgery on Tuesday,  July 31st @ 11.  Everything went fine there was a delay in getting my surgery start.  The first patient of the day took a little longer and so my surgery was put off for any hour.  I was in surgery 1hr and 45 minutes.  When I woke up I felt as if a truck had hit my stomach but other than that I was okay.  I got up to walk about 2 hours after surgery and continue to walk once every hour until I was release the next evening (7 pm).

Once home I was fine other than being a little sore, I was fine, took pain meds like every six hours.  I return to work on Monday, August 6th.  It was rough, because even though I am adminstrative secretary, I had to get up and down to find folders.  I went home on my lunch break and took a nap.  When I got home that evening, I took some pain meds and stay in bed until it was time for work the next morning.  The second day was not as rough but I still came home and took a nap on my lunch break.  Besides no energy, I was okay.  (If I had to do it over again, i would have took 2 weeks off instead of one)  Only because I had no energy- I wasn't in any pain just tired.
I am happy to say that I am down 13 lbs since weigh in before surgery.
