Had my first fill Tuesday.  Everything went okay so far.  Yesterday stayed on pudding/jello and protien drink.  I had my fruit/cheese and yougurt this morning.  Going to try a solid for lunch just have to remember to eat slow.  I have more restriction now.i'm 225 and want to get to 219 by my next visit on the June 24th.  Keep me in your prayers.

When I weighted at my doctor I was 244lbs and the same at home. I don't know where the 241 ame from.I am 238 now my goal now is to exercise and get into the 220's.  Dr. Henderson would not put fluid in my band. He said I was doing good and we were not changing things on this visit.  Maybe the next time. I will be visiting my family who have not seem me this weekend..

love and peace    

I hope my scale is correct I was  241 as of  yesteray morning.  i'm not feeling good this morning.  I have had chills/fever doing the weekend. I also have pain off/on near my port site. I hope I don't have an infection or band slippage.  I have my appointment with Dr. henderson tomorrow. I feel I need a fill.

It's been a while.  I was sick on my frst day back to work 1/16/08.  I really thought it was my band.  My doctor put me in the hospital took all my fluid out the band.  I had  a  problem with my toe and had two bones removed.  i am down to 247.  The doctor put 3cc of  fluid in my band the day I was released from the hosptal.  I had a visit to the doctor on 2/12/08 no fluid was added.  my next visit is 3/11/08.  I been bad eating popcorn.  Last monday was my first day back to work. i really need a fll because I can eat a full size dinner with no problems.  I hope the fill does not make me sck and i can't keep anything down.   

I had my surgery on Tueday and everything when great.  The only thing I notice is my fluids sometimes go down slow, I believe that it is because of the gas. I feel like i what to eat food but I know my stomach is not ready.  I was allowed to increase my protien drink to 6ozs.  I had lost 4 more lbs the day of surgery.  

I have my time for surgery.  Tomorrow at 7:30am I'm leavng home at 5:30am its a hour drive. I'm  a little nerveous  now, but I will make it through. 

Just returned from my two 2 workshop.  It was great.  I am so happy that I choice to do the surgery in Brunswick.  Well I find out tomorrow what time I need to report to the hospital for surgery.  I really hope I will be a early patient.      

Happy New Year!!!  I have 6 days to go. I attended church services to watch the new year come in. 2008 is the year  of new beginnings, my surgery  is the 8th of january.  I have a double blessing coming 8th of January and  the year 2008.  I'm having some problem these days  with  the  liquid diet.  I am to  close  to  lose it now.   

I completed my pre-op visit on Thurday, Sec 27th and everything was great. I have lost 14lbs since the 7th of December.  Dr. Hendeson allowed me to stay off the liquid diet until Jan 1.  I am so exicited for this life changing tool.  I too will be in watch night service tonight.  I will attend the two day workshop in Brunswick, Ga this weeked to help prepare me for a new healthier life.  All praise and thanks goes to GOD without him we could do nothing.  I bless God for your support. Pray for me as I and God prepare for the surgery Jan 8th. Happy Happy New Year!!!!
