Just a Pinch

I had my first fill today. I was in and out in 10 minutes. I don't know what I was so worried about. I initially had 2 cc's in the band. He took that out and then put 1 more cc in. So right now I have a total of 3 cc's in the band. The needle pinched just a bit going into the port. It was over in about a minute or less.  The goal is to keep losing weight and not to feel hungry between meals. If I am still really hungry and not losing weight he wants me to come back and see him. I go back in 6 weeks but if I feel I need the band tightened I need to go back in sooner.

I lost another 10 pounds since my last appointment 6 weeks ago. I got on the scale this morning and I am down a total 42.6 pounds since I started my weight loss journey, October 25, 2013.

I am pleased with how everything is going so far. I am motivated to keep going. I haven't set a weight goal. I am ok with that for now.

So this is me....

40 lbs down!  Got my hair done and went back to blonde. I also splurged and went to Old Navy and bought a few new tops. I actually think I bought a few things too big!  Imagine that?  It's amazing what I bought and how little I spent compared to what I would have spent at Lane Bryant.  It feels so great walking onto a "regular" clothing store and being able to fit in cute, stylish clothes again.  I have bagged up most of what I own. 2 large garbage bags so far. So I really needed new clothes.

I see my doctor on Wednesday and get my first fill. I am a little anxious just because I don't know what to expect.   I'll blog about it after I get it done.
