Whoop Whoop!! Down 80.4 pounds today. Only 12.1 pounds untill im in the 100s!! Had my fill yesterday. he is ok with how im losing. Said it is ok to have a slow time. Im still doing above and beyond.

New Stats/updates

I know it has been awhile. So an update on me. I ran my first 5k on Saturday, April 23rd. It was the Wildcat Pounce in St. Rose, IL. My goal was 45 min, but i finished in 46 min 20 seconds. I did that running on my own, with no one to push me, so I am pretty proud of myself. Next time I will do better!! I had another fill on thursday April 21st. He only added a little bit. I now have 5.8cc in my band. So I took my measurements this morning. First time in a long while. I am now down 21 inches. But it is actually more since my baseline(first measurement) was after I lost the first 20 pounds. But still 21 inches!! WOW!!! As of today I am down 63.6 pounds and have a bmi of 35.8. I started at a bmi of 45.8.

Dr appt yesterday

So, Yesterday I had my 1 week follow up appt from my galbladder surgery. Since I was already there he went ahead and did an adjustment on my band. So now I dont see him for another 4-6 weeks instead of in 2 weeks. So today I met my mini goal #2!! 6 days early. I have a new goal set to lose 20 pounds by 4/12/11. Some NSV (non scale victories) I have achieved. I can now walk in my heals alot longer without them hurting my feet!! I also ran on the treadmill at the gym for 7 minutes. I know that isnt long, but that is alot for me. Also I no longer have to bend over to see the scale. I just look down!! I also as of today have a BMI of 39.7 I am now officially out of the 40s!!! yay!!!

First Fill Today.

So I had my first fill today. I am 28 days post op. I was kinda freaked out about it. But it was pretty easy. (below is a video of how it is done) As of their scale in 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds. 2.3 pounds a week. I dont know if it is because I am hungry today since I have not eaten, but I still dont feel different. I didnt feel full when I ate dinner. But it was the first thing I ate today. I dont know. I guess we'll see tomorrow.
