Hello everyone! I am 3.5 months post op, 6cc in my 10cc band and down 50#'s. I am so happy about the weight loss. I have committed to going to the gym 4x a week and have only had a few weeks where I have fallen short since the first of the year. I had a fill last week and was taking it really easy with solids and doing well, really feeling a restriction and thinking aaaah, the green zone. But 2 nights ago I came home from the gym starving and had a few bites of a roast I had in the crockpot and have been in misery ever since. I slept in the recliner the first night, it was after 11pm before I got it clear or so I thought. Ugh! I had an early dentist apt the next morning so didnt eat or drink until around 10am and ate a smallish bite of banana while making a protein shake. It stuck. I spent the rest of the day tossing it up. Tried some water at bedtime but it didnt feel right. This morning drove to work and sipped on water on the way and did ok, but it was not just zooming thru. Managed a protein shake this morning over a couple of hours and for some unknown reason, thought i could eat some pureed soup at lunch. 4 bites and here I sit 3.5 hours later in misery still. Finally, I decided to call my Dr for advice but I cannot leave work till tomro at 4pm. I imagine he will unfill me a bit when I finally can get in. Until then, they adviseI have lost 7# since last weeks fill but no way would I want to repeat the last few days.

I am diappointed b/c I thought I had finally found a level of restriction where I could actually feel full and be unable to cheat. Here's hoping that I will get back to that sweet spot after I am over this current disaster.

Thanks for listening
