I'm a nurse and I help my patients through the worst by saying softly, "You can do this". It helps them focus and find what they need to get through the pain or fear or procedure. I decided to call my blog that since I have not been able to do this,

Restriction!

So this is what they mean by restriction! This is what I hoped for when I got the band. Yee Haw! Now I feel like I can do this!! I sure hope this lasts. I saw Dr. Cagle yesterday and she was saying that they hadn't seen much success with bandsters. It is coming off very slowly. They have only been doing bands since April, 2007 so maybe with good restriction I'll lose more. One thing she has noticed is that the bandsters don't gain back anything. She said that dieting all these yesrs makes weight loss really slow, but she also said if you lose a few lbs a month and don't gain it back it will accumulate. I am really looking forward to good weight loss this month.

Fill time!

Whoo hoo, fill day today! I have not had a good fill record. My first fill, Nov 5, was cancelled because of nausea and moved to Nov. 19. Went to Disneyland in Dec. 2nd fill Dec 19 for a total of 6 ccs. No real restriction. 3rd fill Jan but I was too embarrassed to go since I hadn't been losing. So today is the day!   I also changed my life around to better facilitate my weight loss goals. I work 12 hour night shifts and my schedule used to be 3 nights on 2 off, 3 on, 6 off That was exhausting! I switch back to day shift on my days off because I have an 11 year old son. I changed my schedule to 3 on 4 off so I can get regular exercise.   I started swimming again. I love to swim! I joined WW for the core diet plan, we'll see how that goes. I bought the book Success Habits of Weight Loss Surgery Patients. I also bought the workbook because I'm a bit OCD. I hope my fill goes well today! :thumbup:
