WEIGH-IN DAY GIRLS.

I am finally out of the 180's for good. I lost 3 pounds this week. I had been going back between 179 and 181 for awhile but I don't want to see 180's again. How was everyone's Easter? Mine was good. I did eat things I shouldn't have but because I can't eat much, I just pretty much tasted everything. I love the band. I can remember when I loved holiday parties because of the food and would gorge myself. Now I just enjoy family and fun. I just can't believe how my mindset has changed regarding food. I see restaurant signs for buffets and such and I just don't get that excited about it anymore because I know I can't eat much so what's the point. And the funny thing....I am getting used to it so I am not sad about not being able to eat. My band is doing it's job and changing the way I feel about food!!!!

Bella,

GOOD FOR YOU! I've just been banded a little over a month but I know what you mean, food just isn't that exciting anymore, for the first time in my life. The band was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Put me down for -1.5 so far!

Cheryl

I'm the only one so far this week that gained. This is not good.

not home yet Deb! I'm in NY still. I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon! I can't believe this week went by so fast!

PRTYANTOVRYT.........(Goal 25lbs)

I don't have a scale here in the hotel! I can't believe I've gone 6 days without weighing myself! I am going through major withdrawals! I'll get my weight to you when I get home! Thanks Bella!

You can put me down for -1.2

Lotza', sounds like staying on liquids for a few days might be a good idea. Sorry everything hurts . . .

Miss Dee, way to go on the NSV! Are you back yet?

Thanks Mini! Yeah! Can you believe I didn't need a belt extender? I was thrilled!

[PrtyAntOvrYt 6]

So.... I have a question. The first couple of days after my fill were great. But the last few have been weird. I can't really eat anything with more consistency than Soup or I hurt. Not like a stuck kind of hurt, but actual pain in chest, jaw, and headaches. Am I just at the stage where I actually have real restriction and just need to wait for my body to adjust? I have made the unfortunate discovery that potato chips go down nice and easy though. We had company last night and I had some. I have decided that I am just going to do shakes and Soups until I adjust. No chips. That leads down a bad road.

How are you doing now?

I wanted to respond to your post, but I couldn't. The computer kept freezing on us. I'm wondering if you're too tight. Make sure you don't get dehydrated and that you're getting in your Protein requirement. Are you still having pain?

I still seem pretty tight, and sometimes even when I'm not eating, I get this pain. Idk what to do but wait it out. Tried some solids last night and it did not go well. Back to liquids and mushies for a while. Thank goodness I like milk, it has really helped me keep my calories and protein up. Actually thinking about going back to adding Protein Powder to pudding and such. Well, as I lose the band will be looser so it will probably work itself out soon.

[lotzasunshine 2]

Put me down for -.5 please. It's not much, but I will see what happens when this fill takes effect.

Don't let yourself stay too tight for too long. Is your tightness related to your TOM or stress or something other than your fill? If you're in constant discomfort or unable to get in adequate calories including your protein, you might want to consider getting a little removed. I'm not trying to scare you, Dear, I just want you to be safe.

I care about you!

Jaime! I haven't weighed yet Honey! I may have gained big time! You can't imagine how good NY pizza tastes!

Thankfully with the band, I can't eat more than half of a piece! But I could easily eat that 3 times a day!
