i justed wanted to tell everyone *hi there*.. i have been going back and trying to catch up with everyones posts. had to format and find all again.
i do get discouraged , i try so so hard. i finally got restriction after about my 7th fill. (Dr K gave me) and i lost 10 pds after that, went back 6 wks later and Dr H gave me a small one.
i only lost like 4 pds that six weeks.
well i went in and he says, no you don't need a fill, i think you are using it as a crutch. b/c i told him i use Protein shakes and stuff. says all they want you to lose it 3 or 4 pds a month. but dang if i eat each meal the weight loss stops. so i gave him the *eye and he knew i was pissed. told me get that scroll off my face :thumbup:.... i was mad but i did what he told me to do. and made myself eat normal food every 4 hours. i go 3 pds down then back up..i go in Monday, its such a long drive for me and i guess i recall back when we did this w/o the band we lost much faster ( only to gain it back when we got off the diets)
i have been noticing and reading some other area's on this site and saw where many traded in there band for the sleeve. they don't have to have all this *getting the fill right. wished i had read more on that first i guess..
i don't mean to sound like a drag. just sharing :confused:
God bless us all
i am not ungrateful what i have lost..
