Well I havent written in quite awhile, getting kind of disappointed with this slow weight loss. Ive had 5 fills totaling 8cc I can tell with every fill there is more restriction but Im not getting that full feeling like I should be. They have me going in every two weeks now, I can tell as soon as I get a fill and eat something if its right or not and so far it's not right. So long as I chew the hell out of my food it goes right through my band. They have to be getting close the thing only holds 11cc and Im at 8. I guess it's part my fault as well, I really need to get off my ass and hit that treadmill.

Doing good, I'll get my first fill in 12 days. A little worried about that. but looking forward to it at the same time. I'm ready to get on with loosing weight, still holding steady at 300 pounds. Having issues with taking big bites of food, I get a stuck feeling and hiccups. Been able to wash down with water. I need to get some baby utensils so I'll take smaller bites of food

Doing very well, work has been going good, trying to take it as easy as I can. Just got back from a mile walk. Progressing well with the diet.

Slept great, woke up with a stiff neck and aches like I still have a cold. For breakfast had a Carnation breakfast shake with a atkins bar in it and a chocolate pudding. I'm kind of worried I'm going to put weight back on so started keeping track of calories.

I think I'm going to get a shower and head out for a little trip into town. We are both kind of sick, we're going to pick up some NyQuil, dayquil and Tylenol pain meds today. Also wanted to pick up some more bouillon cubes. Thrill thrill

Feeling pertty good, had a crave for food awhile ago, I ate a sugar free pudding and drank some crystal light. Oh some more big news I had a BM, after 4 days without I was starting to get a little worried. The incissions points are starting to itch a bit I'll prob take a shower before bed tonight and see if that dont help. Im not really feeling any real pain the worst that Ive had has been my shoulders.

Well Mom and Dad went home this evening, I hated to see them go but I’ve been getting along pretty well on my own. We removed the On-Q pain relief system yesterday evening. Rebekah just stood there and watched as did Mom, all was fine until a few drops of some light red liquid came out. I caught it in the plastic covering but it was going to need to be wiped up. I looked up and Rebekah and Mom both looked at me then turned around and took off running. Mom took a right into the 1st bathroom and Rebekah kept going straight for the other. I was thinking "I don’t know if that much of a rush was needed" What I hadn't realized is Mom had a weak stomach and was running to puke Rebekah couldn’t find anything to wipe up the blood. The whole episode kind of made me laugh because while they were freaking out so was I, that was kind of damn weird pulling that cathedra 6 inches out of your belly like that. 
        I’ve been cutting back on the pain med today. You can tell from the cathedra removal episode just how good those pain meds are.
        I’ve been trying to see what I can and can not eat with out going crazy. I got down a scrambled egg and protein drink for breakfast this morning. Started keeping a meal log for two reasons 1. To make sure Im getting 70 g of protine and 2. To make sure Im not eating too much.

Had a rough night I couldnt get to sleep, when I laid down with my Cpap on I got a migraine headache. I think is has to do with the gas. Plus I dont think Ive been taking in enough protine, got 20 grams at 7am am now keeping a log. All in all so far so good.
