Fill Number Two

On May 5th, I had my second fill. According to my doctor's records, I've lost 10 pounds since my last visit. He was very pleased with my progress and congratulated me for doing something that 97% of all overweight people in the world can't do: Get The Weight Off.
This fill I can really feel. Even when I sip water it takes a good 10 second for the water to filter down through the band. I'm chewing even more carefully and eating very little. High protein and the usual, no carbs.
My expectations are that with every fill I should be able to feel full faster with less food and feel full longer. Resulting in more weight loss.
I suspect that I will need to lose at least another 60 pounds before I will feel satisfied with my weight but I wouldn't mind losing another 100.
I took my 14 year old son to see Eric Clapton over the weekend. At the ford amphitheater the seats were very narrow. And the walk was long from the parking lot. If this concert had been scheduled before March 4th, 2008, there would have been no way I could have walked from the parking lot much less fit into the seat with another person on either side of me. Last year, I would have required buying 2 tickets to be sure no one elses personal space was crowded by all of me spilling over my seat.
A recent reader asked me for some feedback on my decision to have the surgery. S2 this is for you: I have no doubt in my mind that this surgery was thee best thing I have ever done. I have absolutely no regrets and am certain that I would never have been able to get the weight off on my own. I needed this. And only with my band will I live longer, live happier and live life to the fullest. I would encourage, STRONGLY encourage anyone who's even thinking about it to do it. My husband is having it on May 20th. I can't wait until he feels the freedom from obesessive and compulsive eating. It's a great feeling.
