Since peeps have asked if I can feel a difference after getting my first fill on the lap band I have to say yes. Food gets caught very easily if I do not chew (chew chew chew and chew some more) it into a toothpaste type consistency and it gives chest pressure. I think this is where "Productive Burping" talk comes from on the forums that I read. I just have to remember to chew, eat slow and all should be well in lap band land!
Hubby took my pic today and took my measurements as well. See below.
DS came home from college to see me ~ that's what he said!! He took a few things back with him but I think he just wanted to see his loving mama!
Here's the pic (if you click it gets larger ~ not that I need to be larger and why my teeth have a couple of shiny spots I have no clue ~ in real life they aren't like that!):
Here's my measurements:
waist 39 1/2 (no change in waist)
hips 46 (minus 2 inches)
chest 45 3/4 (down from 47)
wrist 6 5/8 (was 7 3/8)
forearm 11 (minus 1 1/4)
thigh 24 (minus 1 inch)
calf 17 1/2 (minus 1 1/2 inches)
ankle 8 3/4 (down from 9 1/2)
upper arm 15 1/2 (the size of a normal persons thigh! geez....no change!)
neck 15 (down 1/2 inch)
so gut and upper arms need lots of work!! well all over needs lots of work but I would have liked to have seen some change in the gut and arms....
