Hello all! I went in today for my 8 month check up. Since June I was able to lose according to my doctor 20lbs...which he says is great! I did get a slight fill today of 0.5cc's. Now I am at a total of 2cc's. I can't get much of a fill because I tighten up real quick. I was actually impressed with the way they started doing fills. They have changed to a new method of x-ray, so they can see the band to make sure there is no slippage and also to make sure that when he does the fill he can see the liquid actually passing so that I am not too tight.
I was back on track and then I fell off the band wagon. Not that I was doing horribly on my diet, but I am sure that I could have helped it a bit more. The reason for my fill request is that I know that I was eating more than a fist full of food and if I tried to limit my intake, I would be hungry in the next 2 hours. I was also snacking a lot in between meals which I knew was not good. So now I am on my 2 days of liquids and 2 of soft foods. I hope this helps me getting back on track. I need 22 more lbs to go to hit my 100lb weight loss goal!
I need to get my motivation in gear again. I'm sure that these last 20lbs is going to be a challenge and probably harder to lose, but I shall succeed!
Until next time!! xoxoxo
