After my lament, fret and worry, I weighed in 20 pounds lighter than I was three weeks ago. Who’d a thunk it! I’m excited. No tongue lashing from the doctor, rather cudo’s, encouragement and my first fill.
The fill, well – a needle, I didn’t feel went in just below my sternum, sending four cc’s of saline into my band. I now feel like I did the day after surgery – full! More full than I was this morning when 1/2 cup filled me up, now 1/4 cup will do. Goodness.
I met friends for dinner tonight at Bob Evans. This is a second set of friends who meet to share our stories, days and and laughter.
I had soup, imagine that – 1/2 c bean soup broth with added celebratory catsup for flavor – quite a splurge.) I’m sure my body will be surprised by the unexpected carbs. We’ll see what happens. I’d say the fill definitely kept me on track for quantity of consumption.
Unexpected carbs….I hope there’s no reverse ketosis. Ew. Great job with the loss though…and making it to Friday with pureed food!
It would be lovely to have lost 20 pounds, even if it took longer than 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS! Dang! Congrats!

Thanks for sharing your blog with me! I’m so excited for you and will continue to pray for you as you continue on your journey! You are looking good girl!
I have to say the ketchup made it look more like tomato soup instead of bean soup! I was really wanting to ask you for a bite just to see how it tasted. I’m thinking it could have been pretty darn good! Have a great one!
