I had my second adjustment today. Dr Minkin put in 1cc. He told me I am doing great! He said that The band is only doing 50% of the work! I have an Inmed 10cm band. At his office I weighed 320~!

I had my first adjustment this morning. The flouroscope was so very cool. Dr. Minkin put in 1cc. I feel really tired today. Maybe from the nervousness, and maybe becaue of work stress.

I am on liquids only today, mushies tomorrow, and then back to regular rules on Friday. Chew, 4-6 oz. Stop when I first feel full. No liquids 2 hours after meals.

My port is very deep. My next adjustment will need to be flouro also. Dang... those cost $800 a pop.

Dr Minkin says my inscison was not infected, bu that I had a reaction to the dissolvable stitches. It is lookin much better, I am using lots of vitmain E, just like my granny taught me.

According to The drs' scale I weigh 441.

I joined 24 hour fitness. I really like it. I walk at my target heart rate for 30 minutes, jog in the pool. I even took a yoga class. It was GREAT.

I go for my first adjustment with the Flouroscope on wednesday.

I had LAP-BAND® surgery on July 20, 2006. My heaviest weight was 380. I had to get to 350 in order to be banded. I liquid fasted July 7th through the 20th. I had been dieting before that but on the 7th of july, I weighed 367. When I weighed the morning of my surgery I weighed 347.6!

According to the scale at the Y (which never I could never weighon before...because it only went to 350) I weigh 328.

I am feeling great. I do get hungry in the evening. I am thinking about...
