13 weeks post op...a little late!

Start weight: 234.5
Current weight: 189.6
Total lost: 44.9


Up a pound last Sunday, and haven't budged since. I got a fill yesterday. At the last fill, they said they put in .6cc, but they pulled .7cc yesterday, and then added .2cc more, so I'm up to .9cc. I didn't think it was working until I sat down to dinner tonight...OMG...I ate maybe half a cup of food and I'm stuffed. In fact, I took just "one more bite" and ended up with a quick PB...obviously, that was too much. I'm really hoping this will put me back on the road to losing, since I've only lost 5.2 lbs in the past 31 days.

We'll find out Sunday!

I'm getting very excited about the amount of weight I've lost!! We spent today out at Six Flags, so I'm sure I've walked at least four miles, but of course, I managed to eat quite a bit of junk too - a piece of fudge, a scoop of ice cream, half a chicken egg roll, a few bites of turkey leg - I'm sure I'll be back up to 190 tomorrow, but I know it's temporary :)

It is so awesome that I did all that walking and went up and down stairs, and my knees don't hurt, and really, other than a little leg soreness, I feel great!

It may be finicky, and oh so fickle, but I love having this band!

Just a quick update

My band is fine!

They put a .6cc fill in and everything has been fine, so far. The fill nurse said that .6 seemed tight enough to her and it was under fluroscope, so I'm taking her word for it - even if it does seem a tad too lose to me. I'll give it a couple of weeks and then go in and get .2 or .25.

I haven't really lost any weight either since Monday, when they put the fill in. But then too, I seem to lose my weight on the weekends ;)

Well, I'm just ounces away from 50% to my goal weight of 145, although honestly, that may need to be upped to 150-155. I won't know for sure until I get there.

I only lost a little over a pound this week, but still, I lost. My fill is tomorrow morning, and while I'm not entirely sure that I need it, after last weekend, my biggest concern is whether or not my band has slipped, so I'm still going in. I've had some odd pains in the port region this week, and also had a couple of very minor PB episodes, but I think those were because I ate too fast.

I got into my size 14 jeans this weekend and that was pretty exciting! In fact, size 14 was as low as I got on Nutrisystem. These are stretch jeans though, so I'll probably be in them for quite awhile. I do have a few size 12s waiting for me...they were given to me by someone on the NS boards a couple of years ago.

I'll be posting pictures later today.

Better late than never

Got my camera working right, finally! Here's a picture of me before my boss' wedding on 3/31. I was down roughly 30-32 lbs. at the time.

Also, I'm scheduled for a fill under fluroscope on Monday at 8:00 a.m. I'll tell them that the max I want is .8, and let them go from there.

It sure is nice to not be choking on everything I eat!
