Five weeks postop, First fill

Hi All,

I'm glad I waited until today to write about this, as I am feeling much better today.  I had my first fill and check up last Friday and although the appointments went great and I never even FELT the fill (talk about a lot of worry for nothing!), I felt pretty yucky after the fill and all day yesterday.

I'm happy to report that I feel wonderful today and am very happy!  My restriction is fantastic and although I had a lot of acid reflux friday and saturday and couldn't eat or drink much, I feel like a new person today.

I loved my appointments with Alison and Cindy also -- Cindy even got me to sweat a little!  All in all a very good experience.  Weight loss is above average for my age/size and Dr. Fowler seemed very happy about that.  I look forward to this phase of the journey where I will actually have some help from my band!

Oh, and the best part of my two days on Oahu... my sister from Oregon met me there and we had girl time.  She bought me a wonderful gift and I wanted to share with you:  It's a silver bracelet with "Embrace the Journey" engraved in it.  She bought it at Brighton in Ala Moana.  I think it's perfect for this journey that we are on!

Thanks for letting me share.  Blessings to you all ! 

Hi Nicole,

I am glad to hear that you are feeling better and congratulations on your progress so far! Keep up the good work!

Aloha!
How exciting! Mahalo for the update! Continued success, too!!! Oh, your friend's gift is amazing... a true keepsake of this life-changing event for you.
A hui hou!

 thanks Makena!  I'm loving this journey (even the bad days are better than my best fat days!)

Brinn.... where have you been?  I've been wondering about you.  Terrific job on your weight loss!  Would love to see an updated photo !

Hi Nicole,

I've just been super busy with work and also back in physical therapy for an old shoulder injury that I keep aggravating. I really  need to take new pics but I did post one on my profile from 2.8.09.

Hopefully I will take some pics this weekend and get some before and afters up here.

Take care,
Ole

Aloha,
