Happy 3 month bandaversery to me

Ok, I'm a few days late since my 3 month mark was on 5/22. I cant believe I've been banded for 3 months already. It feels like yesterday I was sitting at my seminar saying, "This is is, I'm going to do this".

I'm proud of myself, and for those who know me, those words are very hard to say. Some days I feel better about myself then others, but there are still days I feel that I havent achieved anything, and that even though I've lost almost 40lbs, I am still fat, obese, however you want to put it. I still have a long way to go, but I look back and I realize how far I've come.

My 18's fit, but I feel like I'd be happier in the 20's. I know its not a set back, but I dont want to put the 20's back on. I only have 1 pair of 18s. I went to the store the other day to try another pair on and they didnt fit, which was upsetting, but it took me a few days to stretch the 18's out I have one now.

Ok, enough with the jeans talk. I cant believe its almost June already. Seriously, where has the year gone? June is always a busy month for me, since my daughter gets out of school, and both of my kids birthdays are in June. My son will be 2 on the 17th and my daughter on the 27th. We also go on our family vacation the last week of June as well. Busy, busy!

Which is also why we planned on TTC our last baby next Feb/March so we dont have ANOTHER summer baby haha. I still have some pretty bad baby fever right now, and I'm hoping it'll subside soon.

Well, I guess I shall end this year. I'm trying to keep up with you guys, but if I dont get a chance, Happy Memorial Day to you all! (Yes, I'm a week early, but I'm always behind so I want to be ahead this time LOL)

Been awhile

I dont know why I keep this really, no one reads it anyway.

Well since I last wrote I had another fill, and an un-fill.

I got my second fill on the 5th. 2.0cc's, which had brought my total to 7.4cc's total in a 10cc. I gave myself a few days with liquids when I realized I wasnt able to keep anything down. I was so afraid to admit I was too full. Stepping on the scale and watch it just drop down at such a quick pace was nice (especially after a 5 week stall), but I knew it wasnt the right way, so I called the doctor and went in on the 11th for an unfill.

She was pulling my fluid out only to find ANOTHER cc in there! So total there was 8.4cc. She goes, "No wonder you've been so sick". She took .8 out and now I have 7.6cc, and happy to say I have wonderful restriction.

As you can see by my ticker I have lost 10lbs since my second fill, which is wonderful. I am almost 40lbs down in 14 weeks, and that is great. I went from a size 24 pants to an 18 :)

I hope you all are well, I'm trying to keep up but life hasnt been so good to us lately, and it doesnt look like its getting any better anytime soon.

Love to you all
