7 more pounds lost since 3rd Balloon Placement
Okay so it is the end of October and I have lost 7 more pounds. Total weight loss 17 pounds. I'm happier with that number. The 3rd balloon seems to be helping more than the first two. I am scheduled to have the balloons removed on December 19th. So I still have about 50 more days for weight loss. I am very much hoping to lose more weight. The third balloon does noticeable diminish your appetite. Its hard to give too much of an opinion when I have not finished but the third balloon is not noticeable to me at all besides the diminished appetite and I do have to sleep on my right side or back. Throughout this experience I have not been able to sleep on my left side. It isn't quite painful but it is uncomfortable to sleep on left side and if I roll to that side in my sleep, I will wake up.
3rd Balloon placement
So I have lost a total of 10 lbs. Not exciting. I am hoping that the 3rd balloon will help. The Obalon company has you go through a Virtual Health program that has recipes and a once a month phone call. So today they sent me an email reminder that I missed my phone call...which I haven’t gotten around to. But honestly it’s 30 minutes of hearing what we already know about diet. I have a Fitbit and work out and at this point I definitely attribute the exercise to the weight loss. The balloons haven’t really done anything. I am sincerely hoping that this 3rd balloon will make the difference. Because really, if the 30 minute phone call is the key to my success and the reason this is failing...I would have simply paid for a 30 min phone call and not this whole discomfort of balloons.
Day 4...5 lbs down.
It is still uncomfortable when I first wake up. But I drink a lot of water..then coffee...then a Cambridge Shake. I've decided to stay on Protein Shakes for now. I will post when I decide to eat more solids. Its nice to see 5 lbs down...I'm definitely working as hard as I can with the program as I have an $8,000.00 incentive!
