1st Fill Up today!

It's been 35 days since Lap-Band Surgery. I have lost 34lbs total since starting this journey in March, and 31 of those lbs have been lost since June 11. The weight loss is definitely slowing down. I am hungry every couple of hours and looking for food - well, I feel like an animal when it happens. I can eat just about anything I want. I haven't tried salads yet, and I am mentally not ready for any kind of bread product. It is a rare occassion when I am mentally hungry - it is definitely the physical hunger that guides me now. Food has become fuel and not a medium for boredom or my emotions. I need a new bathing suit (bought this one 2 mos. ago - 1st one in 7-8 yrs) b/c my bottoms are sliding off me during water aerobics - quite embarrassing. My bottoms slide down and my top is loose enough that it just floats up. Today, I go in for my first "fill" - where they put saline in the band - probably just 1cc today, then it is liquid diet for 2-3 days. No problem, I know what to do there at least. We'll see how it goes after that!
