I'm so excited today!! Last Friday I had another fill and I was nervous/sad that it might be like the past ones and just after a few days I'm still really hungry and not that full and only losing a few pounds that first week only to be able to eat normal and gain it all back. BUT this week I have been feeling the fullness so easily and have actually lasted the whole week with only 1 cup of food filling me up and not being hungry in between meals!! I'm so excited to say that I've lost 9 lbs this week and have been following the program with ease! I never thought I'd get to this point where I would be a week out and still feel my band, I love it & really hope I'm in my zone now!

So it's been 10 weeks since my last fill, I was banded Oct. 4th (& have lost just about 20 lbs) & from then til Dec. 21st it has not been an easy ride from the stomach flu to getting some kind of bacteria infection non band related to dealing with my grandpas death and then in turn dealing with now having power of attorney over my grandmother who has dementia and trying to take care of her from all half way across the country so that takes me to right after my last fill. Since my Dec 21st fill I was supposed to have my next appt 6 wks later well due to moving, taking an unexpected trip back home, and a crazy work schedule it is now 10 wks since my last fill, I have not lost a single pound and actually have gained a few pounds back!! I'm going to my appt tomorrow morning and I'm so embarrassed that I'm actually 4 lbs heavier from my last visit back in December. I need a fill so bad though, I'm so hungry all the time, & I can eat just like I did even before I had the band the portion sizes are not cutting it for me, I feel like such a failure and so ridiculous I just really want to feel full and for it to last more than a hour and a half to 2 hours! And I really want the help I need to not over eat if I feel full I stop eating but if I don't feel full well you know how it goes & then just combine it with family issues/stress & work issues/stress which I'm sure everyone has I've just always coped by eating my feeling until I feel full and idk how to stop.

Thanks! Went to my appt and it went great she was so understanding and basically told me to get back to the basics and as soon as I start feeling hungry in between meals to call her! I feel better and so glad I got a fill today! It's a new day not gonna worry about yesterday anymore.

Just curious when have you all started working out more than just walking. I'm barely 8 days since surgery and have barely been walking but before I was doing Zumba, hip hop, & lifting weights and I miss it sooo much!!! My dr said we will discuss when I'm able to do more on my appt Friday. =\
