i have the band. i have my first fill. 4.5 ccs total.
you know how they say that after surgery you find other things to do besides eat or constantly think about eating? and you know how during our pre-op time we don't believe them? can't wrap our minds around that concept? today i finally get it! now instead of starving myself before doctor weigh-ins or rushing to get something to eat after weigh-in -- i rush through traffic so i can update my online weight-loss ticker! lol.
another 5 pounds down today. total weigh loss is 22 pounds. yay me!
the fill went great. i requested the surgeon do it and got to chat with him. it literally takes 30 seconds. i feel fine but i do know quite well that i really need to take small sips right now. chew, chew, chew. sip, sip, sip. i think i need a tape with that on it to listen to in my sleep.
he also mentioned he heard about the nutritionist and told me that his office is not the only one having these issues. he says it is frequent discussions with colleagues around the state. he said that the whole pushing carbs thing is a big problem for his practice. i suspect they will be bringing in their own person soon and stop using the hospital nutritionists.
i am wearing a new (size 26) black and white polka dot shirt today and size 24 side-zip cigarette pants. people are freaking out about my look and the noticeable difference.
ok, the important stuff is done -- weight loss ticker is updated and blog is current... need to get back to work...lol.
Congrats on your first fill! You're doing awesome with the weight loss. I bet your new outfit looks great (I too have a thing for polka dots...stripes too, I know, not the best choice for a big girl), and how cool that people at work are noticing a weight loss!
