I love all the pictures you put in! They crack me up, you are very inventive! Just got my 3rd fill yesterday! We are getting there..... slowly, but still getting there! Good luck

You so crazy girl! Keep up the good work, I'm hearing sweet spot for you! My first fill is set for Sept 30. Looking forward to some restriction.

Thanks gals! Sweet restriction to us all!!! -BG

Oh I have it that's for sure. The restriction....I am not sure I want another fill. I hardly eat anything any more. All I can say is I better be losing!!! I went to my first Stretch and Strength class I will be dancing pretty soon. Well after I lose another fifty lbs. It felt good to stretch I must have looked funny but I do not care anymore. imaluckydog

About those hour-long waits-- my doc has a constant hour-long wait, sometimes more. Usually, the waiting room is packed solid, and it's a new fresh hell every time. You can tell who's been with doc at least six months, because they appear resigned to the wait and pull out needlework, books, and laptops. The rest fidget and get pissed off. There's no sense in doing so. There's just that many morbidly obese folks who need help.

Hey girl! How ya been? Well I do have foods that I CAN"T eat, but that is okay. I can't eat any type of bread (bagels would kill me!!) unless it is crunchy, but I don't eat that. I can't believe you have gurgling when you drink My doc wants water to go down without any problems at all.

Let me tell you about the learning to eat again. I'm over 10 months out and I have that problem now with my last fill. I have to take small bites and chew. If I forget and take just one regular size bite or not chew it well enough I ruin my meal. I don't always PB, but I do get a little uncomfortable. I also have been trying to learn about eating SLOWLY. I need to put my fork down between bites and wait just a bit. I can even get uncomfortable if I eat cottage cheese too fast, but I can take small bites and chew well and enjoy a hamburger or turkey breast.

If I did those things I would never PB, but I am a slow learner so I do PB too often. I worry about hurting my band, but I am getting better every day! Take care I wanted to stop in and say hi and check on how you are doing. I am in the forums almost every day, but I just don't blog as often.

Much Love!

wow this is great real people talking about the real deal with the band. i'm switching to this forum instead of the one i was using. just trying to figure out this site first :thumbup:
