I had my first fill today.
3 cc of liquid were injected into my band. I was a little nervous but everything turned out just fine. I could fill my band inflating.
The doctor said I am doing very well. I fell like I could be doing better. I am not sure if I have unrealistic expectations or not. I just really want to get down FAST!
I hate that I keep yo-yoing back and forth. Hopefully this fill will be just what I need to kick it up a notch here!
I did manage to make it to the gym today! Honestly that is the real secret! Getting my booty moving!
On another note; tomorrow is my first 5K! Granted I'll be walking but it is my first 5K post op. I am doing the National Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. I am pretty excited and just hope I can make it across the finish line without too much drama!

I Am Back!
Well I am back in more ways than one!
I recently went on a girls vacation and then a servant trip to Haiti.
All the ladies understand the translation of "girls vacation". For those of you unaware of this secret lingo I'll inform you. A "girls vacation" is basically a vacation of drinking and eating. Two things I can do very well. I went to Miami with some girl friends and we had a fantastic time lounging on the beach and dancing the night away! For the first time since surgery I did notice I could eat around my band. By that I mean that if I wait long enough I can eat more than my recommended amount. Plus I broke pretty much every rule. I was eating and drinking at the same time, drinking alcohol, skipping protein drinks, and skipping vitamins. I was a very bad girl...
But I had so much fun!
The view from my hammock......
I did manage to avoid rice while in Haiti. Overall it was a fantastic experience. I only gained 4 lbs for the 10 days I was gone. That's pretty amazing considering all the stuff I ate!
So now I've been back for 1 week and have lost those 4lbs and 3 more. My grand total is 47 lbs. Only three more pounds to the big 5- 0!
I am noticing I am eating more and more hungry...so you know that means time for a fill. I am not scheduled to go back until June 26 but may go in a little earlier! I want to give it another week or so to see if I can get back to a steady weight loss.

After a few days in Miami I headed to Haiti for a servant trip. What a change! Haiti was a very rewarding experience. I love the people of Haiti and have an even great appreciation for the gifts and blessings I have as a privileged American. Those of us who live in the privileged world take so much for granted. I will carry these children and people in my heart forever.
