OK, so I planned to go back and do these in some linear fashion, but there is something I need to speak about. I recently had my third adjustment. I have been doing very well, losing weight at a good rate and really having no problems to speak of. As I get closer to an appointment, I notice that I can 'cheat' more and that triggers me to get my backside in for a fill. Well, this last fill is kicking my ass!

I only ended up with a little less than a 1cc fill (bringing me to around 7 cc out of my 14cc band) but since then, that whole cheat zone is GONE! I have had more regurgitation at this level than in all the time previous. Now before you say, "Get thee to thine Doctor chubby!" realize that I am the one to blame here. I feel the 'soft full' and plow through it because I always could. Even under my new, much smaller portion sizes, the occasional cheat was easy enough to execute. Now, I am quite certain that 4 - 6 oz target is the max.

Am I being an idiot? That seems to be what the Doctor wanted. I am not, strictly speaking, hungry past that point but socially, this becomes a mild struggle. Oh well, I am on the road which makes all of this harder. I will see how a week at the home base will do for this.
