It’s been a while since my last update. Lets just say things have been very busy… I had my surgery one year ago last week. I can’t believe it has been a year. I received a tiny fill back in March. I have nearly 10cc’s in my band. I honestly do not have much restriction [...]

Dr. Visit #11 (Fill #5) The Weighting Game…
The scale goes up, the scale goes down – this crazy game is making me frown. Sorry it just flowed out like that! I’m a little bummed this month. I have actually gained a couple pounds (two). I know, I know… WTF? I seriously believe the weight gain is from working my ass off at [...]
Dr. Visit #10 (Fill #4)
With all the holiday shuffle I neglected to post my last doctor appointment recap. Sorry! I have not lost anything since my last visit. I seem to be loosing and gaining the same three pounds over and over. I have not been eating the best foods but I have certainly been improving my diet over [...]
My New Fitness Trainer (Amy Barnes) – Inspiration Incarnate
Last week I signed up for a fitness class sponsored by my weight loss surgery center. I had no idea that the trainer was the now famous Amy Barnes. We were a few minutes into our training session when Amy began to tell us her amazing story. “I felt like food was the only thing [...]
Dr. Visit # 9 (Fill #3)
Back down a couple pounds. Glad to be going in the right direction again. I started to feel a little restriction with the last fill but really nothing that would tell me to stop. Hopefully this fill will really get the process started. I now have 7.5cc’s in my band. I feel great. Thankfully there [...]
Dr. Visit #8 (Fill #2)
The scale never lies! I am actually up a few pounds from my last visit. From what I have read and seen with others this is expected from time to time. I am really not that bothered by it. I know I have been testing the band since I got my first fill. I recieved [...]
Dr. Visit #7 (Fill #1)
I had my first fill today. It wasn’t bad at all. The doctor really took his time and asked how everything was going. He reviewed my progress and told me what he was going to do and how it was going to affect me. He began with a small shot of numbing medicine. I only [...]
June 8 – Dr. Visit #6
I went for my first scheduled fill today. I met with the doctor and we went over my progress. I am averaging about one pound of loss per week. Since the weight is coming off and I am not hungry or snacking we agreed to pass on the fill this time. I’m really not having [...]
Dr. Visit #5
Met with the dietician today. Everything is going GREAT! The weight is still coming off. I feel good and food has been no problem at all. I have been cleared to eat just about anything – no more mushies. If everything goes on schedule I will have my first fill June 8th. Hopefully it won’t [...]
