Week 15 Post Op LapBand (7/6/09)

Well I managed to be in NYC at the food show and only have a gain of 0.02 pounds. Then I was on a mini 4th of July vacation with old college friends and we drank from the time we woke up until we went to sleep. This also involved very little eating, but when we did eat it was pizza, tacos or subway (I had a salad - mostly the tuna and no lettuce). I did not gain or loss any weight during the 4th party weekend. My weight today is 210.2. My starting weight was 244 16 weeks ago (pre op diet).

I have only lost 4 pounds (many times or no changes) since i had my first fill 6 weeks ago. I am heading out of town again for another week and hope to get a second fill when I am back from my trip.

Wendy, I don't know how you don't gain a ton of weight when you travel. When I get out of my routine I always gain.

Your're looking great, good luck with your fill.

[bandedwendy]

it is tough. I am like you and when i get out my routine it is very difficult. I just try to be the best me daily and make the choices count. much easier said, then done. thank you for the compliments and encouragement. i wish you all the best.

hey wendy you look great, just wondering is ti real a big deal if you drink while you eat? i have been trying so hard not to do that but i tend to forget. i have not gained any weight in doing so....

[bandedwendy]

thanks. YES, it is a big deal if you drink while eating. the drinking just flushes the food down out of your new stoma and allows you to eat more, thus you are beating the concept of the band as a tool to keep you full and help you loose weight. I always try to hold of drinking during eating and for at least 30 minutes after. It's harder to not drink before i eat, so i am still working on that portion. keep on trucking and thanks for watching.

thanks! I come to ATL 2x's a year and started passing up the Sweet Tea about 4 years ago. . .it's just too sweet for me. Thanks goodness! LOL! How did your fill go? did you get your 4.5 cc's? take care.

[bandedwendy]

Great vid, as usual. You know what's weird is that my doc said that I have about 3cc in my band now (pre-1st fill). Apparently he put some in at surgery. I'm having a hard time believing that, but I'll know for sure tomorrow when I when he pulls out what's in there before filling it. I"m going to beg and plead for 4.5 cc... at least! Anywho.. you look great... cute dress. Have fun in ATL and run as fast as you can away from the Sweet Tea :)
