Have to share with my LapBand buddies :)

So on Dec 19th I went in for my lap band apt, which also happened to be my 3 month anniversary since the surgery. All I could think about after each fill (I've had 2) is coming back for the next one. So far I have 4.25 in my 14cc band. I've read on hear about the "green zone" and all I have been thinking about is reaching that. Not really paying attention to my body. Just wanting to get those fills thinking it was going to take a few more fills for me. Well the day before my appointment I started really thinking about how am I "really" doing.

-I'm walking 30 mins a day at work

-I'm walking 60-90 mins each day on the weekend (which does not include cleaning, shopping, etc)

-I feel soooooo much better and have more confidence in myself

-My outlook on life has done a 360 degree turn around

-Get bored really easy now when I'm at home on the weekends. Just want to go

-I'm not that interested in the food around me anymore. And my true test is now with the holidays!

My food intake now is:

-I eat my 4 oz of food each meal: egg w/cheese and ham or bacon, tuna or chicken for lunch, and my favorite of all, plain greek yogurt with 2-3 T of almond butter for supper and then again for snack at nite.

-And trying to get my Water in.

With all of that said, I realized I am soooo close to the zone, I can feel it! My surgeon (who is awesome btw) asked if I feel I could eat over 4oz at a time and I told him yes, but I don't allow myself except with the yogurt, I may go to 6 oz or so. He asked if I felt like I needed a fill. I could not answer right off, like before I could before. But I decided 1 more time. I told him I felt like I was almost there. With only .6cc put into my band, I think this is it!!! I've lost 47lbs in 3 months and am measuring myself this weekend.

That's great. We seem to be all searching for the same thing. I think I hit green with my last appt. I'm still giving myself time for my fill to settle, but like you, going in I didn't feel I needed much to get me there and I got a 1/2 cc and I think I'm done. I don't want to be super tight. Good luck.
