I realize that it has been months since I last Blogged. Shame on me but here I am at last with a moment to write. I sure have enjoyed keeping op with Band Groupie, what would all of us do without her! She is great! I also follow Julie Ann with her secret journey and she is such an inspiration! Thank you both for all the great encouragement from your blogs!

I am still plugging away with my band! I have been on a three week vacation to the East Coast and I was not able to eat what I like, but I managed to only gain 3 pounds. I got an adjustment (fill) as soon as I got home since it had been longer then 6 weeks. So this was my third adjustment since I had my band replaced. My band is getting pretty full now but I have still not reach the Sweet Spot! My band is a 11cc and I believe that I am now at 9cc. This adjustment so far is good! I still have a lot of restriction and I am not able to eat as much as before. I have lost the three pounds that I had gained but I am still stuck on my Plateau! I had a long talk with Dr. Feiz's new assistant Larry, who by the way is wonderful! (He is the one who does the adjustments now.) I am going to change a bit of what I eat and I am going to add a snack between lunch and dinner. I also need to make sure that I eat breakfast everyday which is hard for me. So a low fat yogurt or a protein shake will work. Protein for lunch and protein for dinner.

and try to get more cardio exercise in. I will try!

Still all in all Tuesday will be my seven month Bandiversary and I am half way to my goal weight. I have lost 60 pounds. I am very very happy! :huh2:

Good job keep it up. Best wishes imaluckydog

What a great job you've done...you are an inspiration!

60 pounds is awesome WL!!! Some need there bands almost full...so you'll get there, we're all just different. Three weeks of vacation and three pounds (that you've already lost) is not bad at all. Going away from home is almost always a trigger for me...it's hard to be eating out a lot. Eating breakfast does seem to help me with the rest of the day and if I get at least 20g of protein in at breakfast then I'm not playing catch-up with the protein total for the day. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the shout-out, that was so sweet! -BG

Glad you're back to blog...I have had a couple of months of needing a fill but couldnt travel all that way to get one...I guess Im just happy to not have gained! Anyway I got two fills this month and now I am nice and snug!! I dont think I could eat a full cup f anything so I am just doing four or even five tiny meals and its good so far...I really envy you your 60lb loss but I have to just be happy with what I have so far...hope you can blog once in a while for us!!

Hey I just left you a message wondering where you had gone off to. Now I know. Welcome back. Good job on a tiny gain and losing it so quickly. You know before the band that might have been when you would have continued to stray. Great job at getting right back to it! Bless you for your kind words by the way. You are awesome too! Take care and keep in touch!
