Houston, we have lift off!

OMGosh! I am soooooo very happy! I'd like to report that I FINALLY FEEL RESTRICTION! Can you believe it! OMG, OMG, OMG.... I feel like I just won the lottery!

Now, I realize this may be a bit premature but I have NEVER felt what I just experience! I've just been doing liquids and runny purees since my fill on Tues so I've been unable to tell any difference in my restriction. Well, I've been making some homemade soups and last night I put 2 chickens in the crockpot for a Chicken Taco Soup and just to have the tender meat. I couldn't resist trying a piece of the chicken *the clouds parted and the sun shone thru with the sound of the choir in the background* CLUNK! That chicken hit my newly restricted tummy like a lead weight! Who knew you could be so happy for feeling so much temporary pain! I KNOW I most likely took to big of a bite, hence the CLUNK....but oh man, what a strangely GOOD feeling!
Just had to share! I feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I've waited OVER 7 LONG MONTHS for this day! Who knew one could be so utterly happy that they couldn't eat (so to say)!
Let's hope this really is the restriction I've heard so much about!
 

Congratulations!

Wishing you all the best,

Barb

Woohoo Wendy...that is great and hopefully stays that way for a while for you!

Good luck my friend!!

Pam

what a great feeling that must be for you. how many cc's do you have in your band now? have you tried any other foods?

Melissa - My fill is "at" 11.75 in a 14cc APL band. Tonight I ate a very, very small tender meatball and a couple Tbs. of tuna dip. All went well! I took tiny bites and chewed very well, lesson learned...LOL Tomorrow I will test the chicken, being very careful!

Thank You Ladies! Feeling GOOD!

Wendy,  That sounds just so totally perfect!  Look forward to hearing how this affects your weight-loss! 

Thanks Shauna!
