Measurements and Quick Check-In

So, last week I had mentioned that I might have gotten a little too much put in during my last fill.  Well, later that afternoon I was eating pudding and even that left me with the feeling of it getting "stuck" so I called text the nurse and she said to go back in.  I went back in that evening and she removed .4 CC's which makes my new total and even 5 CC's.  It feels much better and I FINALLY feel like I am at a great place.  I don't really need to keep track of calories because I don't have the urge to eat like I did before.  I get full and stay full.  It's great!  I am ready for even more success!

I forgot (surprise!) to take my measurements last week, but I took them this morning!  I also weighed in and I am at 180.2 - that's 4.4 down from last week!  Yay!  I was very excited!  I have also lost 2 inches since the last time I took my measurements.  It's not as much as I would like, but I am still struggling to add more cardio to my workout routine.  I love my yoga but I keep telling myself (and you guys) that I am going to add more cardio.  I just need to do it!

I will post next week after my next doctors appointment.  Next week will also mark the 4 month anniversary since my surgery so I might get brave and post some new pictures!  Now, let's get to the measurements.

An Unwelcome Weigh-In

I weighed in today as well as went to my doctor for another fill.  I was up this week - I weighed in at 184.4 which is up 1.4 pounds from two weeks ago.  I haven't taken my measurements yet so I'm not sure if I have lost anything there.  

I have still be able to eat pretty much anything.  Last night for dinner I had a whole turkey sandwich along with some chips.  I wasn't hungry after the meal, but I was hungry just a couple of hours later.  Like hungry enough to eat another meal, not just a snack.  I am still keeping track of calories, which makes it even more frustrating that I gained a little bit this week.  

Since I am still able to eat "normal" meals, the nurse at my doctor's office added another .8 CC's.  This makes my total to 5.4 CC's.  I need to only have liquids today.  I have noticed that if I drink water or my protein shake too fast that it gets "stuck" a little bit.  Nothing like when food gets stuck, but it feels like it's not going down as quickly...which is good, right?  Tomorrow I get to eat mushy foods, so I will see if that goes ok.  If not, I might need to get a little bit taken out.  

I will take my measurements tomorrow and post those.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I see some loss there!  Thanks for reading!
