Got my 3rd fill...

Good morning everyone! I got my 3rd fill this morning and I am now back to 6 ccs, which is what they tried to give me at my FIRST fill! Thankfully it only took Pat one try to get my port today. Today I'll have to eat mushies because of some swelling where the band sits (typical after fills). I had some refried beans (20 grams of protein) for breakfast and just had a kid's Chef Boyardee mini ravioli bowl (probably 8 mini raviolis! 7 grams of protein) for lunch. I think I'll have a Pure Protein bar for a snack later and more beans for dinner! LOOK OUT FLOYD! Anyway, both times I got what I THINK was a soft stop. Just a slightly full feeling and a little hiccup/burp. Can't wait for the scale to start going DOWN again! The official loss today was 46 pounds on the docs scale. I must have gained a couple since I felt like I was eating more. Darn Period!

Keep on truckin' Heather. My cousin was such a success with the lap band and I know you will be too! TraciL

You're doing great Heather, keep up the great work! Take Care, Terry

Way to go!!! Hugs, Mo

Heather you are doing so great! Keep up the good work. It's hard but you can do it. Don't forget to chew, chew, chew, even the soft stuff. That might help the soft stop feeling. Hugs, Robin

Hey gorgeous, Sounds like you are really doing well. Glad it only took one try to get the port. The scale will start going down again son because you are doing all that you can to make it so! Be well and hang in there. Julie

46 great news...... i must have missed everyone coming and going at Bayview yesterday..... Simone (not her real name) was there too earlier in the day for her 1st post-op (She's another Dr. S. DS'r.) i checked in for my 10:30 appt at that time. I didn't get checked in for about another 20 minutes. Never got to see Pat until 11:30.... I had good scale news too (but i don't want to hi-jack the thread) I am bumming though cause this is my last day home.... ~~Kristina

Heather, I am very proud of you you are doing wonderful and you look great I have to add. How is Floyd doing? Did he go in for a fill? Hugs, Cira
