Were is all my Chattanoogians at?

I haven't PB'd. I guess I am just being overly anxious. I am just not used to getting full on so little. I took my time with it. I know I spent about 30 minutes trying to get what I did eat down. I guess this is just better restriction than I am used to having. I have lost 3 pounds since Tuesday. I guess I just need to stop being crazy. Restriction is what I wanted. I haven't asked since that one time, how much I have in my band. I will just keep an eye on it and take my time with my eating. I am cooking some chicken in the crock pot for dinner tonight. I guess that will be my test.

Punkster, I am glad that you are feeling better after your unfill.

Y'all have a great Friday!

Well, i was able to eat the meat from a chicken thigh. I also had a couple bites of veggies and rice. It all went down fine. I guess i was worrying for nothing. You all have a great weekend!

slim, if you have really good restriction, it should take you at least 30 minutes to eat. I know it seems like a long time, but you will get used to it.

Also, if you're not PBing or getting stuck, it sounds like you have hit your sweet spot!

Holy cow! I hadn't even thought about that. Carrie, you just made my day!

i hope that is true, slim. i can now eat anything it seems but it is much better than not being able to eat much of anything. i have the same appt in july that i guess i will get another fill at. i am swinging all around my sweet spot i feel. i trust this process and know that i will get there hopefully sooner rather than later.

hope everyone is doing well.

Happy Father's day to any fathers!

I hope everyone has a blessed day!

feeling a little lost...

[*slim* 2]

Why are you feeling lost punkster?

[punkster 0]

still losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. not sure what i am supposed to be eating. confused.

[*slim* 2]

I am so sorry punkster. I have been there. I keep going there. When it is time for me to have a fill, I start to lose and gain the same pounds. You might try to either drop your calories for a couple days or up your exercise for a couple of days to shake you out of that. The couple of times that I have tried that, it seems to finally make me drop the pounds that I kept losing/gaining. Also, I have found that even though I don't want to eat like I am on a diet, I am going to have to do it more often than not to lose. I do ok for a little while eating what my family eats, but then it just starts creeping back up. I wish that I had a better answer for you.

I just wish it was better advice. How are you doing today?

[Carrie_C 9]

I need to go for a fill, but my work schedule is so crazy right now I don't have time to fit it in
