I am very happy.  I went for my first fill yesterday in Mississauga.  I was all worked up about the fill because I had heard that the proceedure hurt.  Well I am here to tell you.  That is CRAZY...We drove 3hr to get there for a 2 1/2 minute appointement with the fill nurse.  My appointment was at 11 am and we were back on the road on our way home by 11:15 am, and that included signing in and waiting a few minutes in the waiting room.  It was super fast.  It has beeen almost 6 weeks since my surgery and I already had 4cc in my band.  I received 1cc.  I can feel it big time....restriction, but not chocking,,,

All is good.................

Well I am now on solid foods.  Things were a bit tough in the beginning, but have settled down.  I have received my date for my first fill.  July 23rd.  I cannot wait.  I would like to loose another 10-15 lbs by September 2nd-that is the D-Day.  I go back to work.  I am still working out every day. and toning.  Feels great!!!!!!  It may be slow coming off but it is well worth it.

  Well,  here it is 2 weeks post-op.  I am doing fine.  Of course with the band weight loss is slow but if I stay in tune to it and my body --all is good.  I went back to the gym this week, and feel great.I am eating what I need to and nothing more -I am now on soft foods.  I watch it very closely.  Getting my water in can be challenging but I am working on that.  I am definitely one happy camper.......:)

So far so good....

 Well, I am 1 1/2 weeks post-op and things seem to be going well.  I am down almost 14lbs. I am eating pureed food. I find this stage difficult.  I have a hard time with the texture of pureed food.  I would rather eat cream soups or even just the broths.  I know that I have to get it down so I do it, but it is not easy.

  The insicions are looking  pretty good.  I still have some tendreness where the port is, but the majority of bruising is gone.  I feel good- but still adjusting.  It is hard to get use to the full feeling and not drinking as much as I want at once.  Sipping is not my thing.  Having a reg. meal would be a good thing.

   I am hoping to get back  to the gym this week, even if it is just walking on the treadmill.  we'll see. Well that is it...Talk soon. 

  Hi everyone....Well I had my surgery on Friday.  Today is the first day that I feel well enough to actually get up and do things.  My stomach is a bit sore ,but not to bad.  I have gas pains and hunger pains more then anything.  So I have eaten jello, yogurt, drank water etc.... So I am following the guide lines from the Doctor and see what happens....I didn't think I would be hungry...Is this normal...not sure... 2 DAYS out and I'm  hungry ummmmm.

    Hi everyone

    Well I am heading to Mississauga around 4:30 pm.  I am very excited. This day is finally here.  I am a it nervous though.  I'm sure it is nothing.  Everything will be fine. I 'm all packed and good to go.  See you all soon. 

         Well, here it is Monday...Ugh...Normally I dispize Mondays--but today I am feeling pretty good.  I was so completely in control this weekend (tap myself on the back).  Friday night was good.  I stayed in control did what I needed to and " voila" I pulled it off.  I have a great bunch of girls that I work with that super supportive.  THANKS GIRLS--YOU ROCK !!!!!

        Saturday was a clean up day.  Outside I cut the grass, did the trim, trim the trees and bushes that had grown out of control.  It was a whole day thing.  How many calories does doing yard work burn?  It was sooooo worth it ,now my house looks great. 

          I can`t believe it, " Only 4 DAYS TO GO "  I AM SOOO EXCITED...............................  I have to reread my information books and start on the What to do /days before etc.....
