Hey I understand about being so busy. Same here. It has been going very very well. I love my band!... Hey, word of caution..Don't lose too much on the diet. You so don't want them to say that since you are doing so well that you don't need/qualify for the band. That's what I did. I stepped up the exercise which helped a lot but I ate EVERYTHING I wanted with in reason. Now once I was on the pre-op diet that is when i got SERIOUS. I am sorry to hear about the hubby. I have family that has diabetes and it's not fun. Hey email me and we can respond to each other better... yra657@yahoo.com
Take Care..

Sorry it's been so long since I've been on. I lost my password. I am on a six month diet for insurance purposes. It's not bad. I think it's getting me ready for the band. I have lost some, I knew I would. My birthday wasn't that hard and Holloween either. At work the girls got me a veggie tray. They are very supportive. I see the dr on Wednesday. Then he said on the 5th meeting i will see the surgeon. Wednesday will be my 2nd meeting. I have to go thru the holidays though, i know I can do it. My daughter is thinking of the Navy so after the band gets put on i will probably retire. My husband just this week found out he is diabetic. This does help with the diet some. It is hard getting his blood sugar on track. So a lot of stuff going on. How have you been? Have you been losing? tell me how your first fill went. Talk later

To Fill or Not to Fill...That is the question..

You know I think you're right. I want a lifestyle change so I'll have to step up. Change and challenge go hand in hand... -
As you can see I was banded in July and had my first fill in September. I currently have a total of 3cc in my band. Many days I am fine with my eating. In no way am I in a race to lose it fast. I took up the mind set that I am eat now like I'll eat always. I just came off a 3 week plateau where I'd gain and lose the same 3 pounds. I eat exactly one cup of food and if I need a little more I'll have a cheese stick. I have almost no snacking or if I do it is one of my home made Protein bars or maybe a 100 calorie ice cream. Here is where my question comes in to play. THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!! I am scared of the holidays. You know why... The parties and, family dinners, Desserts and alcohol will be so plentiful and are right around the corner. Do I get a small fill to help curb the temptation? If not how do I get around the head hunger? I have gone slowly with my fills because I am totally scared of getting stuck. It sounds painful and I hate throwing up. To the Bansters that have been through HOLIDAY HELL how did you survive it?

So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Getting the kid ready for school...Thank God tomorrow is the first day. I'm still waiting to get my first fill and i really "get it" too. What support group are you going to? I feel like I may need to go to some so I can stay on track. I am so glad you are moving on down...

Wow. I guess I am a wimp too. I took 4 weeks. I had over 600 hours of sick time banked. I figured why not. I feel great after 3 weeks and could possibly go in, but never again will I be able rest recuperate and feel great. I work nights and for the first time in years I'm not walking around in a sleep deprived haze. For you iron men/women my hats off to you. I'm going to just take my time. -
Chrisietmr...Great reply. It helps me to hear this information again. I'm in BH but am surfing along smoothly.

I find it so odd that there are so many schools of thought on the whole eating thing. My doctor doesn't have me scheduled for any type of solid food for almost 3 weeks. I've got day 1-4 clear liquids; 5-7 full liquids; blended foods 1 week after surgery; and soft foods 2-4 weeks after surgery. It's like what is the best...are they making it up as they go along... is there no standardization for this process??? Everyone is so different..
