I had my second fill earlier today. In the four weeks since my first fill I've lost 9 pounds which is right in line with my goal of 2 per week. It helped put it in perspective for me as during these past weeks I thought that I wasn't doing well because the scale hadn't moved for a couple of my weekly weigh-ins.
I tried drinking the required water after the fill but it was a slow gurgle down and I was a little foamy which I knew would be a problem. I spoke with the fill nurse and she removed 0.75ccs from the 2ccs she had given me. I don't mind being a little less aggressive with my fills if my weight loss is averaging where I want it to be. I'll be on a business trip all week next week and there will be lots of work meals involved. I don't want to be too restricted and have any pb episodes with my colleagues, not to mention that flying may also make the band tighter. Overall I now have 4.25ccs in my 10cc band. If this fill is any indication I may hit my sweet spot soon (I hope so!). I'm on full fluids today and mushies tomorrow then back to regular food on Thursday. I'm going to have to remember to eat slowly and chew, chew, chew.

Hope all is well with your second fill; congratulations on your weightloss so far, you are doing brilliantly!
ReplyDeletei can tell you from personal experience that your band does get tighter when you fly. i flew to my brothers a couple months ago and had a hardf time with things. when i'm worried about pb-ing or in a public setting i eat sliders. i know that we aren't supposed to do that. but i know i can eat soups/sliders and i won't have any issues. makes things a little less embarrassing. :) you're doing great though, keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteYay for you! You are doing great. It may be too early to tell but I don't think my 2nd fill is doing much for me & it was a whopping 3 cc's - for a total of 7 in an 11cc band. I'm hoping it is just taking time to kick in like my first fill did.
