Hello Lap Band family. It has been a little while since I have bloged. Hope all is well with everyone. I am doing pretty well. Very hopeful (as my name says lol) that my fill I am getting on Monday does the trick with out giving so much restriction I cant even get my own saliva down. I am down 47.5 pounds. I feel good, am happy with the progress, just starting to be sooo hungry again. It is much harder when you are starved. So when you reach your "sweet spot" is that it? No more fills for good? or in time does it start to losen up? Or does it only losen up if you start to abuse it and eat too much? I have some restriction now, get some stuff stuck if I am not careful, some kinds of breads and other foods i shouldnt have at all. That tells me this thing is working. I am only 4 pounds away from my half way point. I wanted to lost 103 pounds. I am soooooo excited. I am 110.5. Cant wait to get into onederland again. Bye the way I am one of the hard headed ones who was convinced I didnt need the protien shakes. If you have a band you DO need the extra protien and yes it does help you to lose more weight. Each time I am at a stand still, all i gotta do is start the shakes again. I am a believer now. It's a daily shake for me. God bless!!!!!!!!!!:tt1:

CORRECTION LOLOLOLOL I AM 210.5 DONT I WISH,. I MUST HAVE BEEN DREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOPEFULMECHELLE ON MY WAY TO 155 LAP BAND FAMILY SLOW AND STEADY I GO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
