Light Bulb!

[Mea425 15]

Finally a light bulb went off in my head yesterday! After about 6 fills now and me complaining that it's not working. I realize what I've done wrong so far. I was banded June 1 and had a rocky start. Started having esophagial spasms, got hospitalized for dehydration and ended up having my prime removed. So my surgeon has slowly been trying to get me filled to the green zone. BUT I used my bumps in the road as excuses to not follow the rules. Telling myself "oh I can over eat bc my prime was removed and its just going to take longer to get me right again" NO I made a mistake in making those excuses. I HAVE to measure my food and not want that "stuffed" feeling I've always been seeking. I have to make the right food choices, the band won't do that for me. I have definitely been going through bandster hell over these last 5 months! But stepping on the scale at the dr office and seeing 5 of the 25lbs I've lost so far come back was a real wake up call!! I've made a commitment to do this right now and be accountable. To stop avoiding the scale. Can't believe it took this long. So happy to be back and ready to do this!

What is a prime?

Glad you are doing better. Oprah would call it her Ah Ha moment!

Thanks everyone! Prime is what my surgeon says is the small amount of Fluid they put in during surgery
