    MOM, I'm down 2 lbs this week. Sorry for the late posting but my internet has been down since Sunday. I am at Panera with my laptop now. I definitely feel the restriction from my last fill, but am bummed that it wasn't enought to push me into Onederland last week. Oh well, I will get there eventually.

    Anybody Used Xenical?

    Anybody Used Xenical?

    I have used phentermine, bontril, and xenical. I will tell you when I was on xenical I wore pads every day out of fear of leakage. It was pretty gross in general, but took a couple days to kick in. Good luck!

    At this point I will have to lose 1 pound per day to make the Christmas Challenge. Not very likely, but then again this is the season for miracles, right? Knock on wood, I haven't had any PB incidences. I have been stuck 3 times from rushing and not chewing enough or taking too big of a bite. Fortunately my golf balls only lasted about 5 minutes each. I don't think I could have survived anything longer.

    I had my second fill yesterday. I can't really tell if I have any better restriction yet, but I lost 2lbs yesterday! I know, I know, its water weight since I'm on liquids for 2 days. But, I'm 2lbs away from Onederland!!! Tuesday will be my 3 mos anniversary. I hope to be 199 which will mean I lost 30lbs in 3 months. My Dr. did say that he started feeling a lot of push back on the syringe at about 1.9cc, which usually means that is getting close to an "ideal fill" or sweet spot as we call it. He said to fill past that resistance usually results in needing an unfill.

    Here is a fun NSV for me. I got a call yesterday from a company I sent my resume to on Monday and have a job interview tomorrow! I have been out of work for 14 months and it's been 9 years since I was last on a job interview. I pulled out my old work suits and my DH fell over laughing. It looked like I was playing dress up in my dad's clothes. I did finally find a suit in my closet that fits, and the suit jacket is a size 12! I'm going out today to find a top for under the jacket and a necklace to jazz it up a bit. I just can't believe the size 12 jacket fit!!! Wish me luck!

    Well, I'm reporting a 2lb gain. I need to focus on exercise this week and get back into a routine. I go for a second fill next week and cant wait!

    Where'd this restriction come from?

    Tami, I'm right there with you. I had my fill 2 1/2 weeks ago, and really didn't feel much restriction until this weekend. I had read about "delayed restriction" here on LBT, but didn't really believe in it. I've all of a sudden had a few golf ball incidences, mostly relating to eating too fast and too big of bites. Fortunately they have passed within a few minutes, but very uncomfortable. I'm glad to see that my band is actually doing something.

    Mom, sorry for my confusing post. Week 5 I was down 4lbs (not 3). So I should read -1, -1, -1, +4, -4. Thanks!
