Doing well

[Whillow 0]

Since my last fill in early june things were up and down for me...

I was losing well 2-3 lbs a week but was suffering from nausea , vomiting and very bad acid reflux.

I toughed it out taking 80mg prilosec a day 40 in the am and 40 lat afternoon, it seemed to solve the problem.

my next issue was learning to eat with my band being tight - one bite too many and out it came, too big a bit and too fast.. same thing.

I now have it under control.. ive lost 73lbs since october for an average of 9.1lbs a month.. i am pretty happy with this.

I am now sitting at 209- this is the exact point i got to 6-7 years ago when i did Atkins, ,i hit 209 and couldnt go any farther, so while i am feeling great, excited about my loss i am getting very nervous that i will stall out here again and not go any further.

my ultimate goal of 150 puts me at still over weight, 140 and i will be considered normal.

But right now i just want to get below 200 - this is my nemesis...i dont think i have been below 200 since i was a teenager.

Way to go, sounds like you are doing great.

How many fills have you had? How much are you exercising?
