When did your fills really start to work for you?
mrycrltn replied to NJChick's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Bring your water..let the doc fill you. Then drink the water and see how much you can swallow. That will tell you how tight you are. Good Luck. -
And to think we have all spent so much money over our diets...

Kryssa I had my fill and the doc filled it to 2.8cc and I cou;dn't drink the Water down without almost throwing up, so he unfilled it to 2.4cc and it works much better. Maybe you just haven't found the restriction you need. Check it out with your doc, stay in his office until you find it. I spent a good hour with mine until I was happy. -

It took me my 2nd fill to fill restriction. I think everyboby is different. -
It sounds like how I was. I had my 2nd fill Monday and it is finally working. I was on the liquid for the first part of the week, and I have now started solids. It sounds like you are not taking small enough bites or chewing your food to small enough bites. The PB'ing sounds like you are eating around the band. You know the first time I heard that was from Paul on this group, and it just hit the nail on the head. Slow down on the eating and make sure you are not drinking anything until you are done.

Sounds like you need a fill. Good Luck

It's time for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The cookoff starts on the 23rd of February. I have been having Slimfast for Breakfast and lunch and eating small amounts for dinner. My goal has always been to wear a pair of rocky mountains or lawman jeans with a shirt tucked in and look good. Is it possible to lose 20lbs. in two weeks?
-
Oh......I will get in them. It's just a matter if they will look good. You know the old trick of just laying on the bed with the clothes hanger. I just hope my man doesn't see me do it. Then I get to walk around all night being uncomfortalbe. OMG, what we do to look good.

You have lost alot. I had a fill Monday that I think is finally going to work for me. I have only lost 9lbs. since 12/22. It is coming off way to slow. But, at least it is coming off. Hey, maybe it will be cold here, and I can wear a long sweater to cover up everything from the waist down. HAHA. Me and my husband have been married since Oct. I have been to tons of rodeos, but this is my first one with him and I want to look good. I want him staring at my butt.

I guess I have figured out why I am over weight. Of course because of eating to much, but also because all my husband wants to do is go out to eat. Every weekend it's what's for breakfast, what's for lunch and where are we going to eat dinner. There has to be something else to do besides eat all the time.
-
I can relate to you girl. You go way out of your way, and it just doesn't seem good enough. But you gotta love him.
-
I didn't know you weren't banded either. GREAT JOB!
-
Wow Paul.. You do all that. Great husband. One of a kind.
-

What food have you sworn off for good??
mrycrltn replied to Kathy473's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm with Heather. Bread is my favorite food and now I can not eat it. -
I agree...I look forward to your post everyday.
-
I think it would be neat to have like a everyday person to check in with about failures, and improvements. Also to get tips from. What does other members think? Maybe through email. And later in a month or so come back and post the success the two have done together.

Turtle: no/slow weight loss I'm excited about this.

I like it. Friday is the date.
