You can get through this whatever option you chose : ) I am leaving my husband this Wednesday. I am moving out into my own place and this is after 10 years... I am super motivated and have a great career...my husband has not had a job in a year and is completely not motivated to get one. I still love him, but can't live with his lack of contribution to our marriage. I am worth more than his lack of love (no affection, kind words or sex anymore) and motivation. I hope I am doing the right thing, but I won't know until I do it. I hope this is a wake up call for him because I do love him...I just can't live with him anymore.

I am on my 5th fill...banded on 9/23 I had no restriction with # 1 and #2 # 3 I had restriction and lost 15lbs in the month of December. I had fill # 4 on January 4th and had ZERO restriction...less than before the fill...WEIRDDDD So fill # 5 was last Thursday and I can only eat a tiny amount of food since and am really losing I only have 5.4cc in my 14 cc band!

I don't really have any input except to say that I could have written your posts...I am going through the exact same thing

I had my thrid fill a little over a week ago. For the frist 2 days after I had pretty good restriction, but now that feeling is totally gone. I am not having any problem eating anything and I was before. I am just confused why this would be. I have 3.2 in a APL (14cc?? band) he is telling me that that is the amount in my band and that I have more between the port and the tubing (maybe 2-3cc)....help!! I can't get another fill until 1/5 and I am worried that my progress so far is going to be affected. I am trying to up my workout to compensate. thanks for your advice!!

I never eat Taco salads from Wendy's or any other place. I was desperate the other night and have heard alot of people eat Wendy's chili and thought it sounded good. The entire salad is 500 something calories and I ate about half. No need to justify what I ate...I have lost 40lbs in just under 10 weeks....pretty good I think! My usual salads consist of lots of veggies etc and I usually have no problem eating them at all and they really fill me up.

I have had decent restriction lately tonight after a hard workout I stopped at Wendy's and got a Southwest salad which is Chili and lettuce a little cheese and tortilla strips..... I was able to eat all of the chili and half of the salad....this is way more than usual wondering why I was able to eat so much more tonight??

I did my first 5K today!! I ran walked the entire thing and didn't die!! I am 327lbs and if I can do it anyone can!! Next one in Jan...now working on improving my time!! Had to brag...I am so excited! YAY!!

Linda- Thanks it does make me feel better! I guess I am just confused and obsessed at the moment. I am thinking that I am doing ok because this AM I took off the couple of ponuds that I had put on. It is just such a learning experience with all of the changes in my body.

I know that I have been eating more over the past 2 weeks especially the last 2 days.... how do you know if you stretch your pouch?

I did really great the first 2 months PO, but now in the past few days I have really been eating alot more than I should be. I have a fill scheduled for thursday, but I am wondering if because I am eating more than I should be if I am in danger of stretching my pouch?? I had my second fill about 4 weeks ago and lost weight initially in the first week or two after my fill. I have now been plateaued for the past 2 weeks and may have even gained a pound....has this happened to anyone else? Thanks:mellow:

I feel the same exact way and I am also 9 weeks post op! I get my third fill on Thursday...I hope it helps!
