Well, it's been just a little over 3 months, and I'm a happy girl!!  I have lost 59# (that does include the 14# I lost pre-surgery, but hey, I lost it, I'm counting it!!)  I feel so much better.  I can actually walk without limping when I get up in the morning!!  My feet and hips were so sore before surgery, but the other morning as I was walking to the bathroom, it was like a lightbulb went on.  Hey, this doesn't hurt!!  I have been digging back into the deep corners of my closet for clothes to wear for work - it seems I have a pair of black pants in every size from 28 down to 16. 
I've had 2 fills, and I go back April 28th for another.  My surgeon does the fills pretty slow, but I guess that's ok, I don't really want to have to be unfilled.  I do feel like most of the time I quit eating before I'm full.  That's not ideal, but hopefully this next fill will take care of that. 

I had my surgery on November 12.  The first couple days were pretty rough, I also had a hiatal hernia repaired which made for a little more pain.  But now, I couldn't be happier!  I lost 14 pounds pre-surgery, and I've lost another 28 since for a total of 42.  I haven't even had a fill yet!  When I met with the dietician, she said I was doing so good, maybe I didn't need one.  So I talked to my surgeon, and we decided to wait another month.  So this coming Tuesday, Jan. 20th, I'll have my first fill.

Having my surgery on Wednesday, Nov. 12.  Excited but nervous!!  Looking forward to a new, healthy life.  Doing the liquid diet now, starving.... appointments this week getting ready for the band.
