Hola

So here comes week 2 after my 4th fill and the scale didn't budge this week. I stepped up my workouts and the scale just keeps going up and down a few points. I am reminding myself not to get discouraged. I assume I am building muscle and I know that sometimes this slows down weight loss but I am sure that I am losing inches and I feel great so that is what I am truly trying to focus on!

I am also getting a lot more comments lately "are you loosing weight", "you are looking really good" ect. Not a a lot of them but more than what I was getting. Pretty much no one noticed my weight loss until I hit about 22-25lbs lost. Which I am fine with because I didn't tell anyone about my choice to be banded, I told some people I was having surgery because there was no way around it. I told them I was having a hiatal hernia repaired. So in my eyes the further out they notice the weight loss, the farther that is from when I had surgery and hopefully that makes it harder to put two and two together you know?? If I had had gastric they would have all known whether I told them or not. Did you all tell people about your surgery? If you did, do you regret it? I imagine that someday I will tell some people.

4 1/2 lbs this week!

Just a quick post to share that this week went great! I have been exercising a lot more than usual and eating a lot less thanks to my recent fill which brought me up to 6.5 cc's! I got my fill and weighed 227.7 and now I am 223.0, so 4 1/2lbs in a week I cannot believe it! One more lb to hit 30! I really want to hit 199 by my birthday/thanksgiving which is Nov 23rd/Nov 26th. Hmm......I'm not so sure at this point if that is doable, that would be 20lbs in about 5 weeks. I could definetly do 15......20 might be pushing it but we will see I am going to keep trying! Hope you are are doing fantabulous!!!!!!!


ps. I have gotten stuck many times.......any tips??????
