I hope that this last fill will help accomplish some weight loss. I am still really bruised from the fill also. It SUCKS eating a bit too much too now. I can really tell this fill on my eating. I still want to eat a lot though too! What else is new?
Irritated
Jul 12, 2007
ANYWAYS - I am irritated... this is happening on a regular basis. I am not doing any stomach crunches... I don't think I have pulled it...so I am not sure. I will call the Dr. tomorrow and find out what the stinking culprit is!
Gym - EARLY!
Jul 10, 2007
Ugh - the gym at 530 in the morning. I started this morning... and it really felt good. I am one of those weirdos that actually likes to work out. I just need the motivation, etc... to do it.
I have done better the past few days. LAP BAND IS A TOOL. I need to remind myself of that every day. My energy level is back where it needs to be. Thank God! I know that even with my first fill, I can STILL eat nachos, chips, etc... you have to have the control. I am super sore in my area where my port is. I still think it is from mowing, weedeating and doing yardwork on Friday night. I was laying in bed with a heating pad... and decided to get up to post. I doubt anyone reads this, but it makes me feel better!
Next fill is 7-31-07. I am ready. Definitely.
Update
Jul 04, 2007
My energy level is back where it was. I don't know if it is the B sublingual I am taking or the fact that I can ingest meat now. Not totally sure on that. I am still not on any protein shakes... I really try to get my protein other ways.
Even with the fill, I am eating less, but AGAIN I have to watch everything. It is easy to ingest the bad stuff AGAIN! VERY easy.

My first fill
Jun 19, 2007
I did get some antibiotics for the little spot where one of my incisions had been infected and I had drained it. No big deal.
I came home tonight and went to eat soup (he put me back on full liquids for a couple of days) and I could BARELY eat 1/2 a cup. WOOHOO!
Next fill is in 6 weeks.
My first fill is tomorrow!

As far as healing goes, I am fine. I had a spot where one of my incisions was that was bright red. I work at a place that is full of RN's so I had one of them look at it and she said I should drain it. It was at the end of one of my incisions (where my port is) and where I thought I had felt a stitch. I did drain it and it was full of infection.. Yuck... and have since drained it three more times this weekend...I will have Dr. May look at it tomorrow.
The other issue is that I probably started yoga way to soon. Dr. May told me to use caution... and I thought I was, but in all actuality, I think I stretched my stomach area way too soon. I had abdominal pain for about four days and finally went to the doctor last Thursday. Dr. May was out of town, so I went to his on-call surgeon. He said it was probably minor bleeding on the inside of one of my incisions... nothing serious... should heal in a couple of days... which it has!
Appt today...

No problem though... I scheduled my first fill... set for the 19th.
I did weigh... I am at 187! With clothes and right after lunch :)
