Thanks everyone.  I tend to be a trooper when it comes to this stuff.  My weightloss is more important than being afraid to get a fill. 

Band is going pretty well.  I am learning my own limits and my mental food issues seem to have calmed down a bit.  I know they aren't gone but with progress - supressed.  I'm still trying to convince myself that I can't really eat bread and have been leary of trying pasta or rice so I'm just not doing it. 

My protein level has dropped significantly with being on 2.5 days of liquid but today is mushies so I should get some protein in! 

Im actually glad they have me do the water test.  My doctor is 1.5 hours away in lovely DC metro traffic so when I go for an appt I have to be out of work alot. Not so convenient to be running down there.

My true progress and feelings I want to assess at about 3 months.  So in December - it's right around the corner.

Hi Nikki,

Congrats on your awesome weight loss!!!  Keep up the great work! :-)  I live in Frederick and travel to DC too for my Dr. The traffic down 270 sucks :-)

Does your Dr. give you a numbing shot before your fill?  If not, you can ask for it.  I get it and don't feel a thing except for the pressure feeling of the needle pushing into the port.
