It has been ages since I posted here. Here is my update:

Had my third fill July 18th - another .5cc for a total of 5 cc. I think I am at my sweet spot, perhaps a little tight but if all goes as with the other fills, it should loosen a bit. Got weighed at my fill and I am right on target - losing 2 lbs per week. I am trying to curb my impatience ( wanting to lose 5 lbs per week), and feel good about what I have done. To be honest some days are tougher than others - I still miss big quantities of food and there are times when I cannot eat another bite, but I don't feel "full". Head hunger I know, so I am working on that.

I am very excited because I am just 12 lbs from where I got to with WW before I started gaining again. This is a huge physical and emotional milestone for me (225 lbs) and can hardly wait to cross that barrier - and it has been a barrier for me.

I am also realizing that as much support as I get at home, on here and at the clinic - this is a very personal journey. So much of it happens in my head and I am the one who has to make the decisions, expecially about what I put into my mouth, day in and day out. This is good, I am taking ownership for how I got here and for getting to where I want to go.

Hi susan,

Congrats on the milestones - yes I agree it's as much about head hunger as it is physical and each one of us has our own trials on this journey. Support systems are great but I love how you've taken ownership of your journey - WAY TO GO! Slow and easy will win your race - good luck! Each pound gone is one step closer to goal.

Have a great sunny week.

A slow and steady weight loss is much healthier for your body to accept in the long run. I was banded last Sept 7 at TLBC and am now around goal. Be patient, SusanSilver, you will get to where you want to go.

Hi SusanSilver and Angel Bear: SusanSilver I was banded Feb. 01/07 and I have been fighting the battle but Angel Bear has helped me get my head on straight. Slow and easy is the way I want to go as well and our journeys shoujld be ups and downs but I am absolutely sure that the band helps me more than if I tried it alone. Thanks agan Angel Bear for your support and by leading by example. Doddie

Congrats Susan... you're doing great! Definitely get your head into the idea that 2lbs a week IS the way to go, and is the BEST you want to do a week! Anymore than that, consider it an awesome bonus! I worked out my goals as if I were to lose 2lbs a week, and also for 1lb a week, which is what we're supposed to aim for... and I always hit 'em! Set yourself up for success!
