Happy 34th Birthday karmasprincess!

I've read that a lot of people have the same issues with inconsistency when it comes to restriction. I agree that conservative is the way to go, too, even though we get impatient. And I'm like you - I can't get on the scale everyday or else I obsess over it. I try to weigh only once a week. No, I haven't vomited. But I've also had no problems changing over to the smaller bites, and chewing really well. I thought I'd have a problem chewing well, but it came pretty natural and I think this is why nothing has got stuck. I can eat anything - bread, rice, dry meat - without problems.

i go a week from friday for my second fill! I am doing really well. i have different retriction at different times its kinda weird. i have nt been on the scale since my first fill because i was getting a little to obsessed with it ( the scale) I am hoping they go a little conservative for me on my fill! Hope you dont mind if i ask but have you vomitted any?

Oops I forgot to mention that they only filled me with 0.5cc - we went really conservative because I go to NYC on Thursday and I didn't want to be too tight.

Hey lady!! Yea I had my second fill on Thursday. Since then close to 3 pounds have come off, so it's nice to see a sgnificant amount of weight come off the scale again. I'm ONE pound away from ONEderland, and it can't come fast enough! As far as restriction...I haven't noticed too much of a difference. I've had great restriction since day 1 and still have pretty decent restriction. Today is my first day of "real" eating since the fill since we have to follow that post-fill diet stages. I had my first meal but it was a lot of carbs, so it only kept me full for like 3 hours. I'll have to pay attention when I eat dinner tonight (I work night shift) to figure out how long my turkey tenderloin will keep me full for.

How have you been doing?

hey girly! how you doin? Have you had a second fill yet?

I am doing ok! I have had a few intollarences, but i really think its because im still trying to eat to fast. I am still trying to make lifestyle adjustment woooooooooo they are not always easy!!

I'm excited too! I don't really have a trick for eating chicken. I try to make sure it's moist just because I've read so much on here about making sure it's moist, but honestly I've ate a few bites of not-that-moist chicken too. I had my fill on a monday, and per Dr. C's orders was allowed to start to a regular diet that Thursday, and had chicken that day.Knock on wood, but I've been very fortunate enough that I haven't had any food intolerances - I've been able to eat bread, rice, pasta, and all the other things that you read some people can't tolerate. I know after each fill there is a chance that I won't be able to tolerate them, but so far so good.

How are you doing?

I am sooooooo excited for yo getting close to ONEderland! I cant wait to be back in the hundred range. So tell me your trick to eating chicken and how long after your first fill were you able to do so?

Hey girl thanks! I'm officially down 24.4 pounds as of this morning, and I'm 5.6 pounds away from ONEderland. My meals typically consist of greek yogurt mixed with peanut butter for breakfast. for lunch I'll have a boca burger or lunch meat with around 1/4 cup veggies. for dinner I'll try to have fish or chicken with 1/4 cup veggies. If I need a snack during the day, I either do the yogurt/PB thing or a hardboiled egg. Now that I'm back into the swing of things, I'm feeling really good and don't really focus on it during the day. I felt great restriction after my first fill 8/10, and I've lost 6 pounds since then but am now noticing that I am getting hungrier sooner than when I first got the fill. I've got another fill the second week of september and am hoping it will put me at my sweet spot because I feel I'm so close!

Hey 22 pounds is AMAZING!! you go girl! I am only down like 15 i think, but that is better then gaining soooooo ill take it lol. I got my first fill last thurs and i notice different restriction throughout the day and everyday is different. Yesterday i was allowed solids so tried a peice of grilled chicken. DID NOT GO DOWN SMOOTHLY. So tell me how much of your weightloss has been since the band and what are you eating mostly now that you had a fill? Hope you are having a excellent day!!

Glad to hear you're doing well! I'm nervous for my first fill tomorrow but excited too, I'll let you know. Ready to eat some veggies!
