I usually am fine with soy milk for a couple days after I get filled its a 12oz cup so I get plenty I drink it on my way to work. But I am still trying to determine if I am too tight I told my husband some days things go down fine and others it does not. Yesterday day was fine then We went to my in laws for out annual close to halloween night (where we meet family and eat chili after the kids trick or treat) and th chili didn't seem to want to go down! I don't know if it was because if it was hamburger and I do not normally eat red meat anymore or wht happened. I'm going to give it until Tuesday and se how things go.

Breakfast Naked fruit smoothie & cup of chia tea

lunch Snacked on crackers( took my lunch to go to boys school for Halloween parade)

dinner wouldn't go down

Two fun size kit jars earlier in the day

Excersise walk! walk!! walking!!! with boys and dog while trick or treating but it was really fun

@Lose_It Based on what you ate today and what you said, it seems like you may be a bit too tight. But then again, some people say it is trial and error the first few weeks after a fill. Not just with the foods you are eating, but smaller bites and eating even slower. Chili has always been a go-to food for me but it does fill me up very quickly (and I only have 1cc in my band)! Keep us posted on it. Also super proud of you for getting that walk in! you look fabulous in your picture.

Breakfast - 5oz yogurt

lunch - 1/2 wheat pita with 1tbsp reduced fat PB, 4oz yogurt, about 8 blueberries

dinner - 2/3c caesar salad light kit, 2oz grilled chicken breast

snack - 5oz vanilla yogurt, 5 unsalted almonds, 1 strawberriy sliced (about to have it now)

liquids - Water, 8oz tea, 8oz skim milk

Exercise - 30 min elliptical, 15 min weights

[Lose_it 4]

Yes Miss Daisy you are right!!! I'm going to my dr on Tuesday to have some Fluid taking out of my band!!! I still want to be able to enjoy food and this is too tight for this gal!!! This last fill just put me a touch too tight!!

I'm not even going to post my meals until I get Fluid taken out and it's real meals what I'm eating now it whatever I can get down. But I do think its weird that somedays I have no problem eating then others I have trouble.

[daisychains7 427]

That is so odd!! For me, the week near my period i am very tight in the mornings. Otherwise, not many issues. I think you'll feel a lot better once you get some Fluid out.

Tomorrow is treat day. Having tortilla Soup then cookie with ice cream for dessert. just have to make sure to get solid 45 min of cardio.

I am not a real happy camper since I just weighed myself and I have not lost anything in the past 5 days. Zilch! I haven't gained either.. But.... What gives? Any tips?

Treats are good. We have to give ourself treats guilt free once in awhile otherwise your body craves it and that is when we Overdue it! Before I would way over do it and just eat eat eat but now I tell myself this is a snack for eating so food during the week. But if I had a bad week then no snack night!

Give yourself a couple more days to see you might be loosing inches not pounds. I know it's hard to do and it's hard when the scale is not moving but your getting your heart rate going!!

We lost a great man today in our family my husbands grandpa. So please bare with my post if I forget to one day

[daisychains7 427]

@Lose_It Very true... I am taking your advice to heart. My fear with treats is always that I WILL overdue it, but I see now I have more self control than I thought. And it's unrealistic to think with my lifestyle I will never ever have a piece of cake or a margarita again. But I got the band to help me controller portion and not overdue the way I used to.

I am sorry to hear about your hubby's grandfather. There is nothing harder than losing a loved one. I will include your family in my prayers tonight.
