Well today was my first fill. I was scared at first but everything went ok. Had no problems at all. I only got 1cc but I felt it right away. Dr. said that I'll get a total of 4 cc and I should be good. He said that I should have no problem hitting my goal as long as stay focused on my food intake and increase my exercise to 30 minutes 3x a week. I was walking 15 minutes a day on the treadmill already I thought I was doing good since I didn't do anything at all before. Come to find out per Dr. that I would have to increase to the be able to make a difference. Ok he's the Dr. I'm excited the nurse said she could see the difference in my looks. She even pulled out the "before pics" from my folder and was pointing out my face , my tummy, my thigh, how she could tell where I've lost.. the before pics were taken 1 week before my surgery.
I'm so happy I've officially have dropped from a size 22 to a size 16 in a minimum of 2 months

. YAY me!!
I want to be at a size 12 hopefully by June for my Disney vacation so till then I'll eat right and lots of exercising!

congratulations on your progress....

and re: "till then I'll eat right and lots of exercising!"....maybe rethink this 'till then' business....

before long, 'eat right' becomes a habit!!!

'Exercise' becomes a habit!!!

Learning to eat like a Normo, and LIKING to such....becomes a HABIT!!!!

Bandsters are at a unique place in life....where we can actually start forming new habits with the forethought and rational behavior as an ADULT!!!!

We can learn from our own bad choices of the past.

There are even stores that DON'T have "XXXXL" sizes....I was shocked!!!

Hey Ruby..
I'm so glad I have a partner in crime with getting only 1cc for the first fill!! i was kind of disappointed because 1cc is sooo tiny. Since my fill on Tuesday, I noticed a little bit of restriction. Not too much, but enough to be full after a fairly small amount of food.

My doc said he will probably look at doing 3cc's my next fill which is April 2nd. He also reiterated that I'm doing extremely well with my weight loss and gave me lots of encourgement...especially in the exercise department!! That always feels good. Congratulations on everything you have accomplished so far. I bet you will be in those size 12's BEFORE you Disney vaction!!

Right on, sister!!
