2 MONTHS IN
Jan 09, 2008
I just had my second fill today. I have lost 31 pounds and now the real weight loss will begin. I really did not think it would take this long to get things going. I have been losing but I have not had the restriction I thought I would. Now I will have it much more. I found out that I need to have more protein in my diet and it should help with the weight loss. I am excited about the energy I feel and the way my pants are "not" fitting. I have yet to get into the next size, 14. My goal is to be to 190 by Valentines day. That is 15 pounds and about 5 weeks.
Three days out

Boy it is a bit tougher than I thought. I have been nausiated and that has been the worst. Plus the pain of the bigger incesion. I wish there was spell check, sorry. Any how, I have been able to take the pain meds and a bit of protein drink, but not much else than water.
I have had to sleep in a recliner due to the pain of getting out of bed. It helps greatly. I was thinking I could go back to work tomorrow, but no that is not going to happen. Luckly we have a family business and I can do some from home.
I am anxious to see that doc on Friday for the first follow up. I hope to be able to start exercising and moving soon, so that I can get some weight off by Thanksgiving. My goal is 25 pounds. I have 13 off from the 10 day liquid diet and I think that another 12 should not be tough at all.
My RA is not showing any signs of problems. I stopped meds a full two weeks before surgury and will not start the methotrexate until next weekend after I see the doctor and if he says healing is looking good. I have a bit of it in my back starting and ice is helping, but nothing in my hands.
