Got 2nd Fill, but have no restriction

hi estela

i just notice that you dont have as vast amount of weight to lose as most people that have been banded on here... looking at your ticker you are nearly half way to your goal..

im sure with a little tweeking of your fill and perhaps a food diary of some sort to keep track of exactly what your eating for a week or so might help...

Dont feel frustrated as 23 lbs is already gone forever and thats a brilliant achievement..

love tracey

hang in there

Ladiebird makes a very good point, Estela. People with less to lose definitely lose it less quickly. You're making great progress!!

Bummer!!! Well, Wednesday will be here before you know it. I am going for a new fill Friday morning.

Estalla, are you a stress eater? I know that when I feel stress I eat more. How about pampering yourself a little more, maybe a relaxing bubble bath?

Thank you all for your encouragement, I know that this is a slow process, but it just gets frustrating sometimes.

Blossom, you hit it right on the spot. Yes, I am a stress eater, and I have been having a rough couple of weeks. With working full time and having three kids, two of which are toddlers it is not easy. And my marital problems add to the stress level. If I could have a full time nanny and a full time housekeeper I think it would be easier on me. LOL -Don't we all wish for that??? Well I have to wait for my fill next Wed., meanwhile I will try to get a hold of myself and not be eating like I have been.

Thank you all for being so caring.

Oh Alex, I so agree about the overfill. If I don't get through today without pbing then I'm getting some taken out tomorrow. I've been telling myself it's just swelling or I didn't chew enough, but when I can't do chili something's not right, especially after the sun goes down. It seems more restricted at night, how weird is that? I can't even get my Protein to stay down. I feel great, but I don't want to make myself sick or start losing hair. Pretty bad when a milk shake comes back.

I'm sorry Estela, I didn't mean to hog your thread, but I'm just saying too filled is not good either.

Blossom, you're so patient I'd be so depressed, you've got a good positive attitude, I admire that.
