Back to being good...

I am getting ready to head out for fill #3.

I have needed this one for a while, but was a bad girl to wait so that I could enjoy my holidays (meaning holiday foods). The holidays are gone so it's time to get back on track with the band.

My weight loss has been slowing down to about 5lbs a month so it's time.

Hopefully I've lost enough weight that they don't have to dig for my port.

Good luck with your fill. I get my first one on Friday.

Where's your port that they have to dig? Mine is between my boobs and if they have to dig I'm in trouble.

Eileen, I ain't gonna tough that one....LOL

Carrie, congratulations on making it through the holidays. I can't believe that my DW (the pecan pie queen) made it through without ANY solid food. One week out, one week till her first Dr follow-up.

Good thread! Back to being good for all of us. I didn't enjoy too many holiday goodies this year since I learned I had erosion. Once you know your band is eroded, you get kind of queazy and are afraid to risk overeating. I guess my erosion saved any gain.

But here I am, almost recovered from band removal and on my first day of counting calories. I get 1200 a day, which scares the pants off me. That's about how much falls on the floor while cooking! 1200 isn't much, but I have to make it work. I don't ever want to see 315 pounds again. That wasn't living.

Lisa, your right 1200 is very little, its the reason most people have a hard time losing weight. On the other hand, you can get more bang for your buck by knowing what foods you'll get more of w/less calories.

For instance, you can eat more low fat popcorn than potato chips. There's a book called Volumetrics and thats what it teaches. Good luck. I'm glad your feeling better ( and stay away from that wacko chick in your office ). Hugs !

Why Randy, what ever do you mean ROFLMFAO !!! Thats so cool your wife made it thru the holidays. Congratulations Mrs. Pecan Pie Queen

NJ, I have the book! Dr. Billy made me buy it, only mine is a different model. It's an excellent source of good food choices.
