FILL !!!!
Yippee me! I got another fill. I can’t even think of what # it is b/c I have forgotten (but I’m pretty sure it’s listed over on the right hand side. Just thought I’d do a quick update from work. I do have internet at home but I’ve been super, super, super busy and not able to kick back and enjoy my blogging lady lapbander updates. I do miss it. I feel like I’m going through some things right now (band wise) that other people could relate to or help me with.
About the fill. I went in yesterday and I took a pic of it! hehe! It’s stuck on my phone though and my phone died last night so as soon as I can FIX my phone I’ll put the pic up here. I took a pic with the needle stuck in my stomach and the NP joked with me that I was “sick” b/c I wanted to take it! lol! She was teasing! Anyway, so previously I had 7.5cc in the band (I did have 1 episode of losing 2-2.5cc early on). I haven’t had a fill since Dec. I’ve been in once every 6 wks for my check ups but they said I was doin’ great and hadn’t needed a fill. Well I felt “lose” lately so I insisted I get one. She add 0.75cc and then I made the mistake of telling her I could feel the water go down. (Psst, I can ALWAYS feel the water go down if it’s super cold) and so she took some out. She seemed happy with adding 0.5cc bringing me to 8.0CC IN MY 10CC BAND!!! So I did liquids all day yesterday (especially last night going out for Cinco de Mayo and get my DRANK on!!!! Woot woot!). today the liquid diet is tough b/c I want some food in my stomach and I’m drinking water and fruit juices to try and flush myself out. I’ve wanted to do a “fruit flush” for awhile but when I CAN eat food, I don’t have the willpower for the fruit flush. So right now I’m rotating a bottle of water, then a bottle of 100% fruit juice, back and forth. And I’m about to try this “VITA COCO Coconut Water with peach and mango” and it sounds sooooo delish, I’m stoked to try it!
So I hope I get a few pounds down after this liquid diet. I was 213 the morning of the fill (yesterday). I’m hoping to be like 209 soon, just b/c passing 210 is another huge goal to me!!!! Yay! I’m officially 65 LBS DOWN and it’s sooo amazing! Really every 5 lbs from here just seems sooooo huge and something worth celebrating. I’ve gotten to the point to where I can hardly believe it myself and EVERYBODY in my life is noticing. For example, I went out last night with my old high school sweetheart (dated 2 hrs in hs, 2 yrs after hs, split 4 yrs ago) and we went to Dos Gringos in Mesa, I had never been. It was a BLAST!!!! Buuuuuut on top of just having fun, we ran into like 5 people we went to HS with!!! It was crazy! We hadn’t seen any of them since HS and they ALL thought we were still dating. THAT part was ackward, cuz we’re not. But anyway, those people looked at me like I hadn’t changed a day. I was hoping someone would say or ask if I’d lost weight. But then it dawned on me “omg, this was my size in HS, so to them I am no diff. They don’t know I gained 65 lbs after HS! Yay!” sooo, to those people I am no different. So it was just odd and I felt so comfortable seeing old friends from school. If I had ran into them a year ago I would’ve hid in a corner or tried to leave asap to hide my big body. I was sooo miserable then. But last night was a ton of fun and we got old friends numbers and I’ll definitely go back to that place sometime in the near future!
I’ll let you guys know how the fill, liquid diet, coconut water, and weight goes in the next few days!

Any possibility of rekindling things with the ex b/f? Had to ask :).
ReplyDeleteWelcome back- man I sooooo want/need a fill. Am jealous ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou look sooo wonderful btw. It's always nice to read your posts because you enjoy the journey.
Dunno about the ex. He was and is the love of my life, hard to even see him. He is "seperated" from his wife and I really shouldn't continue hanging out with him unless he decides to get divorced. He should have space during this "in between" time. :/
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, thank you a ton Brooke! I can't wait to catch up on your blog!
