Got Some Taken Out!!

So I had my appointment yesterday at the Dr. and told him my desire to have about .5cc taken out and that I was in about 6 weeks ago and had 1cc taken out and was fine for about a month and then that darn band tightened. By the way, my band had just started loosening up just a bit a day or two before my appointment, but it was still too tight and needed some taken out (I didn't tell him that). So, he took out .5cc and then I started to drink the water and it felt fine, but then again water doesn't give me a problem. I can feel the water kind of collect and then go down, like it's going into a funnel. Do you know what I mean?

Well, I explained this to the Dr. and told him that I thought this would be good and he explained that he thinks that water shouldn't collect, it should go right down and he convinced me to take another .5cc out for a full 1cc out of the band. If I wasn't going on a cruise, I don't think I would have done it, but in this situation, I decided to do it. So, we took out another 1cc. I don't even know how much is in there now!!

I was very nervous thinking I'd eat everything in site. I was definitely feeling more hungry last night and today. I drank my usual shake this morning, then at about 12:30 I was starving and had a bean and cheese burrito from El Pollo Loco and got full before I finished. Then for dinner tonight we went out to eat at Marie Calendars (didn't feel much like cooking all day evidently). I ordered 1/2 sandwich, cup soup and some fries. I ate about 1/2 of the 1/2 of sandwich, about 5 spoon fulls of soup and about 5 fries and was so stuffed, I couldn't eat another bite. Oh, I did start with a small slice of Corn Bread. So, all in all, I think I did well and my band is defiantly working!! But here's the best part, no pain, no uncomfortableness, no reflux, just fullness. This is the way it is supposed to be. I will cross my fingers I stay just like this and the cruise will be fine and I might not gain much weight either.
