Five weeks past GB surgery (Realize band) and I had my first “fill” appointment on Monday. Not too bad, just a wee prick in my port/tummy area. The worst part was my skin’s reaction to the adhesive on the band aid the nurse used to cover the shot area. It was itchy afterwards and I just put it off to the area being unhappy about the needle shot. Then I took off the band aid Tuesday morning and saw the red area and it stung. Nasty for sure and I will let them know next time, no Band-Aid.
Fill was only 4 mil and not enough to curb my returning hunger. The fill slowed me down a little bit but got the shakes Monday afternoon and had to eat. They have me scheduled to go in for fills for the next three Mondays as they hone in on the perfect fill to lose weight. Apparently I am NOT suppose to eat 1200 calories but about 1000 calories if I want to maintain a 1 – 2 pound a week weight loss. Mentally I have had some eating that happened when I wasn’t hungry but just craving, cheese slices mostly.
It is so funny that I am thinking I am overeating when it is only 1200 calories. I will do better this week on my eating awareness. Drinking more fluids is vital and I am improving. I am also doing more walking every morning on the treadmill to pop my aerobic activity. The inches have been coming off even though I am not currently losing weight. I do expect a weight loss this week with the recent fill. It has me more focused on the food I am eating and why I am eating it. Session with Mistress Meghan tonight at Health Happenings in Monroe and it is suppose to be HOT outside which means sweltering in her little gym. It will be a sweat shop experience tonight for sure!
I purchased a Flip digital video camera to take some videos to post on my blog. It will have to wait until the tripod which is backordered arrives. In the meantime, I will be doing practice videos and figuring out how to edit and which software to download to edit with… all fun.
