Well it has been a while since i have posted in the journal.

Here is a summary of what has happened

May 4th Surgery: It went well, i recovered pretty fast, within a week i felt near 100%.

June 18 First fill: I got a max 5ccs (felt no restriction whatsoever when i got on solids). I gained a few pounds from pre op because being back on solids my body punished me for losing lol. But thats the process.

July 4th Second Fill: Yesterday, had a max...

Well...I weighed myself this morning, and i've lost 10 pounds, so i'm pretty happy about that. No change in exercise, just stopped eating basically. I'm on yogurt alone.

I am happy that i am down like 7 pounds...but really it's not a big deal, i used to be able to lose that much in a day before, but then it would come back right away...the only difference is now i can count it because i am going to keep it up this time!!

I am going to go out for exercise when...

Hey, its 12:54 april 24th 2006....i should be studying exams but i'm here doing my journal!

I will start with what i did before getting into this, since i don't have much to say about the pre-op diet (i started 1 hour ago...its a 10 day diet consisting of yogurt and cottage cheese)

So....around march i started thinking out of the blue...I need help, i've tried everything, I don't even know what clicked but all of a sudden i felt the urge to look up everything on the...
