jao

I am just over a year post op and have never heard of anyone like me. I am four pounds to goal. I can't be the only person who this has happened to and I would love to speak with anyone who has ever heard of this before. Thanks for the help.

Terrilen, I am hardly an expert about fills (lol) but I would say it sounds like fill time for you. Hopefully, you have a wonderful surgeon who can expertly direct you.

Flower, wish you friend a good journey for me. Sixty pounds without a fill is great. Have a nice weekend!

Molly....thanks for the kind words....God Bless you on your journey.

Kathy, I pretty much track every morsel on FitDay. It's my personal accountability. I do, however, save 100 calories or so every once in a while for a glass of wine...lol. I usually eat 1/2 Protein bar in the morning, a little while later I will have a few ounces of whatever kind of of protein I've made for my family the night before. For lunch, I have a healthy Soup. I am married with family so I try to make healthy meals, but my kids and husband still eat carbs so I still make carbs, i.e. potatoes, noodles, Pasta...but only eat a teaspoon or two. If I don't have at least 50 grams of protein per day, I'll take a Protein shake. If I want a sweet, I'll eat a couple of junior mints. It satisfies me. I drink alot of Water. I think, because of the restriction I have, I am disciplined for the first time in my life. I've often thought to myself that a band was wrapped around my head as well as my tummy.

Kathy and Kelly....although I'm grateful I haven't had to work for restriction by getting fill after fill, my journey has not been a piece of cake...lol. I actually eat very little at each meal. I stay around 1100 calories per day and do a little exercise routine I made up myself. I still have issues with spitting up if I am not concentrating 100% on what and how I'm eating. But this has been a Blessing in my life. God bless you!

Thanks for the quick response, DeLarla. I have lost 83 pounds and still have all of the restriction a year ago. Odd, huh?
