And i'm off.....

Let me first say, I've not had any updates lately but have been keeping up with everyone. Work has been extremely busy as the end of the fiscal year came to a close. We've also been having my nieces and nephews on the weekends and with 5 extra additions, I barely have time to potty. I've missed everyone and look forward to jumping back into lovely blog land.

I've had no loss since my last update. If you remember I had hit bandster hell and hit hard. After the weeks of the liquid diets and softs slowly passed, the scales actually creeped up about 4 lbs. Thanks to those who got me through this ruff time...it meant so much.

Today was my first fill. The worst part was the numbing shot. It was a little worse than a bee sting but reminder: I am a big baby! I'm sure it's common but my fill was via fluoroscope. I have a Realize Band, 11cc and was totally empty. I received 6cc.  I was so nervous because I had ran into a lady at the gym several weeks back who had the band and saw my doctor and said he only did 1cc at a time. I was actually in panic stage; I would never loose. But I am very happy with my first fill and can't wait for the scales to start dropping! My next fill is scheduled for December 8.

The race has started; and she's off!

  4. Wow that's a big fill!! Mine was just a needle injection, took literally five seconds. I got 1.5 cc for a total of 4 cc. I only have today on liquids & tomorrow on pureeds foods, but I can already feel a difference!
