setting goals....

I saw a cute pair of boots on a friends blog, they were black and white toile rain boots. Super cute!!! I found them, but they are not longer available on Amazon. I wasn't going to buy them, just window shopping, but I came across these beauties. I might treat myself once I reach a milestone in my weight loss journey.

First fill went well, if you call.....

almost passing out and puking well....lol it really wasn't that bad. I was already sick and not feeling well when I went in to have it done. I laid down and he numbed the area with a little baby needle. Then he pulled out the BIG needle. I don't get bothered by needles at all, in fact I always watch them take my blood and what not. I started to get really hot. He was having a little trouble finding it, since he's not the surgeon who placed the lap band in me. When he finally got it, he pulled out what was in it, to see how much I already had. It was 2cc's I was under the impression it didn't have any fill in it at all. So he added 3 more. I sat up and was handed a cup of water from the nurse to drink, this is to make sure that it's not too tight and that I am able to get stuff down. Well before I could drink any, I had to hand the nurse back the cup, because my ears were clogging up (worse than from my cold) and everything started getting farther and farther away. So I stripped off my hoodie and laid back down for a bit. When I got my wits about me, I sat up and starting taking sips of the water. I got the hick-ups and almost vomited it up. The band was too tight. He had me lay back down and by this time, my wonderful husband came over and was gently stroking my head and hair. Then when I asked the nurse for the cup, he said..."well it's time for me to go back to the other side of the room" lol I didn't think he had a weak stomach. Wonder what childbirth does to him....if he thinks he gets out of that, he's got another thing coming. But back to the doctors office. This time he was able to find the port right away and took out 1cc and I had instant relief. So as of Tuesday I have 4cc's of saline in my band. I weighed Wednesday morning and again this morning, and I lost 3 lbs. I am so excited and can't wait until the results are such that they are noticeable.
