It has been awhile since I have updated this. Things in my life has just been a little hetic!! I am 4 months and 2 weeks post surgery and things have been interesting! I was always planning to do the work! I planned to eat healthy and work out I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I really didn't expect how hard it was going to be. I have had my band filled 3 times and after the 2nd fill I wasn't going very well. Food was getting stuck and things just really hurt! I went back in and decided not to get another fill. I talked with the doc and had a few of my questions answered. I went back the first of August and she pulled out all of the fluid to see how much was really in there. On paper I showed one number but in reality I had much more. Which explained the pain I was in!! She added just a little bit more. The past 3 weeks have been really really tough. Most days I can't eat more than 3 or 4 bites of my meal before I have to stop. Not because I am full but because it hurts. I can literally feel everything going through my band and it is painful. It doesn't matter what I am eating. I can generally get ice cream down but that is obviously not the best option! If I was dropping a bunch of weight because I wasn't eating I would be ok with it, but I am not really losing because my body is in starvation mode. I think I have lost a few lbs but not much. I go back to the doctor on Sept 2nd and will talk with them a little more and see what they suggest. I am starting tomorrow to train for running a 5k on Thanksgiving and I think eating is going to be important! I am also going to be starting with the personal trainer provided by Malley Surgical 3 nights per week.
I did buy a smaller pair of pants and shirts so that is a good feeling, but I only have 2 months left before I hit my 6 month point and I wanted to be down a lot more than I am by then!!
