Question About Fills

1)  How long post-op before your first fill?

2)  How many cc's did you receive?

3)  How many fills did you have in your first 3 months post-op?

4)  How many cc's did you have in your band at 3 months post-op?

5)  Did you have restriction by that point?

6)  How much weight did you lose in the first 3 months post-op?


Yeah, lots of questions.  Here are my answers:

1) I was 6 weeks post-op.

2) I received 3cc's in a 10cc band

3) I'm still not quite 3 months out and that is the only fill I have had.

4) I am still at 3cc's in a 10cc band.

5) I think I have a little more restriction than I did before the fill.  I cannot eat bread without getting stuck.

6) I have lost 18 pounds since surgery, although I'm hoping to make my first mini goal of 20# gone with tomorrow's weigh-in.

I asked all these questions because I feel like I am losing the weight really slowly.  I've been losing a pound a week except for the first couple weeks before my fill and last week when I lost 3.  I am exercising daily with laps in the pool and 30 minutes of treading water in the deep end.  I think I'll bust out the Wii Fit again and start doing it again, too....I just don't like how you can't get 30 continuous minutes.  I walk around the board in between "games" to try to keep heart rate up. 

Oh, and I took a sneak peek this morning and saw One-derland.....we'll see what the scale says tomorrow on the official weigh day!
