"First Fill"

I got my first fill yesterday since my ER Unfill Extravaganza. She put 1.5cc's in bringing me to 2.5cc's. I feel no difference which I knew would be the case but that is just fine with me! I am going back in 2 weeks. I did manage to loose 2lbs since the last time I saw her though which was only 2 weeks. So 1lb per week with nothing in the band is not too shabby in my opinion. However, that does leave me at a 217 that I feel like I have been at forever!!! lol o Well it will come off sooner or later.

Holiday Eating Season

Happy November everyone!! I just love November, not only because Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday but because my Birthday is this month also!!! Every few years my Birthday actually falls right on Thanksgiving and as a child that was always so much fun because we got to have a big cake after
dinner!

I do have some concerns as we enter the holiday season however. Holidays means you eat more than normal and combine the 2 and your extended family is always around and my family knows NOTHING about me having the lap band. I'm actually pretty thankful that I had to get my band unfilled, hopefully this will make it a little less obvious that I can't eat as much as all of them. If you don't know, my mom, dad, and husband are the only one's who know that I have the band. I have not told anyone else because I don't want to be under a microscope and I know so many of them would be like "why did you do that?" They wouldn't get it. I assume one day I will tell them, but that is one day very far away from now!

Can some of you veterans out there give me some tips/advice or any comments that might help me out this holiday eating season??
