Yell At Me PLEASE!

Thanks so much everyone! I am definitely going to keep smarter food choices at hand. I had my fresh fruit again this morning and am officially back on track...lol! I want that scale to keep going in one direction!

@Jen (Band 29) - I don't feel too much restriction at this point either to be honest, but there is a definite difference from before surgery. I didnt realize how much discipline would be involved with the band pre-surgery. I am guilty of thinking that I wouldnt have to do as much work...lol, but hey, I am glad because I am learning the proper way to eat and have some help at the same time. Other than the few slip-ups I mentioned, I have really been sticking to 1200 calories per day, I journal all my food (I just jot it down on anything, a napkin, envelope...lol....whatever is handy) and I think that is what keeps my weight loss going. At my last fill on June 8, I was concerned that my band eventually would get filled all the way and nothing! Funny thing is that I had to go back and get unfilled 0.5ccs because everything was getting stuck...now I feel I need a little bit more...lol. I guess its all about tweaking until you get to that perfect spot, but at least now I am not as concerned about running out of room in the band before I feel restriction.

@Rachael - I agree --- this forum is fantastic! At first, I was just perusing the website to do some research pre-surgery, but I must admit I am on here a lot more often than I inititally thought I would be and have found it to be very helpful! It is definitely a comforting feeling to be able to relate to so many people.
