Well let me say I am trilled!! I got 3cc in my Realize band. dr Roye was very please with my progress so far except the whole not really exercising thing. I got the SPEECH!! This came at the perfect time and I really didn't think I would get one today but it's been 7 weeks and 1 day and I feel great. Total weight loss since surgury is 39lbs. I have not given myself a chance to be proud because I have sooooo long to go but during my lecture from the doc he explained the we pat our selfs on the back, be proud of our accomplisments and then look at the big picture. I have been so wrapped up in how long the road is that I failed to notice how FAR I have come. Well enough of me patting myself on the back.
Thanks for all your support through my banster hell. I hope I stay out of hell for a while.
Jaime

Hey Jaime, great job!  You are doing great!  DO you feel restriction yet?  You are right about not looking at how far we have to go, but how far we have come.  I need to think that way, too!  Congrats again!

I could by no means eat like I used to. Some say they can but I could not. I really didn't try too much but some things I would and felt awful. I am on liquids now so for after fill restriction...I hope but I'll have to let you know in a few weeks.
Thanks

WOW...39lbs is excellent and yes a huge accomplishment. The exercise should now start as you are fully healed. Take it slow...even if you just start walking. It'll help with weight loss and any future loose skin. Good luck and congrats again!

Congrats Jamie!!!  That is great progress without a fill!!  I have found the only way I can lose is with the exercise- even if it is just parking in the furthest spot away or taking the stairs rather than the elevator.  Once you get started- It gets easier
