Hi! Of course!!! That is so normal. After the swelling goes down, and before you get a fill, it's kinda like not having anything. Once you get that fill it will feel tight again and (ahhhhhh) you will love your band again! (that was the heavenly sound from movies if you didn't get it) LMAO!!! :confused: LOL just remember to take it easy until the fill and know it will get better. Take care and keep us posted! :biggrin: ps 39 lbs thats soooooooooooo good!

It's totally normal. It sounds like it's time for a fill, but you know so much of this is a head game. Relearning how to live and what we can and can't eat. I'm a stress eater and the band, as fabulous as it is, doesn't cure that. I keep almonds at my desk at all times. This way I can statisfy the mental need to crunch on something, while eating good protein. Needless to say it only takes a few to fill me up. I do have days when I think I ate WAY too much but then the next day, I'll hardly be able to get anything down. It's strange and different everyday. 39 lbs is GREAT and I'm sure you'll continue to lose! :confused:
