I went to the appt yesterday and was pleasantly suprised - I lost 13 lbs.:thumbup: I don't know what has changed. I feel like I am eating too much and too often, but I'll take it. This is the first fill where I can actually feel liquid pass slow. I cannot just guzzle Water or gatorade like I usually do - it backs up and slowly dissipates. I ate scrambled eggs this morning(about two hours ago) and I still fill 'full' - I say that in quotes because it feels like its in my throat so it feels different than full - maybe thats the way it supposed to be? If this is restriction, then so be it. I am glad I finally have it.

congrats cmexlr8.

my restriction is fading a bit. :sneaky: i have had awesome restriction for about a week or so and it is easing up. oh well. it was this way the first time too.

hope everyone is well and to hear from everyone more frequently. thinking of you all.

Has GBI in chatt. changed the fill dates. I need a fill in the next week or so but need to work it around my work schedule. I have put on 5 lbs and find I am getting hungry in a couple of hours this will be fill #5 in 16 months. I am worried I will run out of fills before I reach my goal.

I have a fill appt. today at 1. Hope this is the one what will allow me to really control how much I eat. I think this is the 7th or 8th one. Surely I will get there soon. I am happy with my progress so far, but the last 3-4 months have been slow.

I haven't lost anything in about 3 months, but I started nursing school in september and I just haven't been focused on losing weight. I am going to start back at the beginning of the year, but I'm debating if I should get a fill or not.

[punkster 0]

missing you all. i had a fill today too. i have started losing again after my slip. hope it continues this way.

carrie - how is nursing school going? stress majorly effects my band. to the point of not being able to eat or having to go back to liquids.< /p>
