I had to go for an unfill today. I understand this happens. But I am having to face the fact that I may not get the restriction I want, period.

I hit my sweet spot early in the spring and did very well for several months. But then suddenly, I was tight and had to have 1 cc removed. Over time, we put it back in and I just barely started losing again.

I had .75 removed today. It seem s my stomach is quite sensitive to hormone changes and stress. So, when my hormones go crazy, I get SO tight. Stress=tight. My hormones are all over the place and can be elevated for 2-3 weeks at a time. Randomly. SO it isnt easy to predict and work around.

So maybe the better approach to is seek less restriction, to give myself more flexibility for this sort of thing.

I realize I will still have SOME restriction, so I am still better off than no band at all. I have been going to the gym again, so I just have to work harder.

And yet---- SO FRUSTRATED because I have lost 95 pounds as of today.

5 more pounds to first 100 lost

16 pounds to go and I will be under 200. I havent been that small since my first baby. Who will graduate from high school this year, by the way.

But for now, I can drink without vomiting. That is something.
