Pemberley passed away last week.
I've been sad, but remembering the fun times we had together is helping.
She will always be my favorite workout buddy!

4 days post-op. October 2009:
In other news, since about late July/early August, I noticed that I was getting hungry quickly after a small sensible protein meal.
So then I thought, oh well, my seasonal sinus allergies will be ramping up soon, let's see how it goes. That band will get tight again. Allergies always makes my band tighten up.
And I waited.
And the seasonal sinus allergies went crazy. Boxes of tissues later...
I was still hungry!
So I thought, with a big vacation coming up to Italy, I figured there would be jet lag and travel stress/etc (stuff that usually tightens up my band), so let's wait and think about a fill when I returned.
That vacation came and went.
But I was still hungry!
Then Pemberley passed away. So I thought, oh no, this is very stressful/emotional (stuff that always tightens up the band), I bet that band will tighten up. Let's wait and see.
Nope.
I was still hungry!
SO, long story short, I finally went to see my Lap-Band doctor last Friday 9/25/15 for a fill. He added 0.4 ccs to my Lap-Band.
My hunger is reduced and my thoughts of food and what my next meal will be are GONE.
I love that at almost SIX years post-op, I can still get my Lap-Band adjusted and have that same reduced hunger and full feeling as I did at the very beginning of my weight loss journey.
