WOW!
It sure looks like lots of us June Journeyers had similar experiences... summer fall doldrums, discouragement and FINALLY a fill that gives some real restriction and makes, for me anyway, finally feel that the band is my partner.
I could barely keep my weight, much less lose weight in August, September and until last week. I'd bump up and then diet like hell to claw my way back down. The band wasn't really a factor at all.
Then a week ago Monday I had my last fill. And now ....
well FINALLY! I eat lots of small meals now--can't really eat big ones, and finally the readout on the scale is consistently moving in the right direction!
Woo hoo! I wouldn't let them take a molecule of saline out of my band. And if the weight stops coming off, we'll be adding at least another half. The fill meister tells me when you get close to the zone even a quarter cc can make a big difference, and I suspect that some of you fellow travellers are exactly in the same place!
Now back to the game.
Go Yankees!
