Question About Restriction

[becky42 0]

Okay, I could use some advice please. I had my surgery on 7/30/07. My ticker isnt' updated, but I'm down about 50 lbs. I'm a little frustrated that I haven't lost faster, although on the other hand I know it's better to lose it slower. I'm going back for a check on Wednesday and I'm confused on whether or not I need a fille.

1. I can eat way more than a cup of food.

2. I can eat bread - although not a big bunch at a time - I can handle it.

3. I do feel restriction when drinking Water after eating though.

Do you think I would need a fill or not? I don't want to get too tight, but definitely want to keep losing. I'm exercising, although not as much as I should. I haven't lost any weight in about 1.5 months. ADVICE PLEASE!

Thanks!

Are you drinking right after you eat or are you waiting an hour? You need to wait an hour. I think if you can eat without chewing well and nothing gets stuck you probably need a fill. I know i do

If you haven't lost any weight in 1 1/2 months then its time for a fill. Don't forget to exercise or add activity every day. How many cc's is your band?

What you are describing sounds like you need a fill to me...

I think there is a sticky of Wendals' - "You need a fill when" . It defines the parameters you should look at if you need a fill or to change up food / exercise.

I know I need a fill when I can chug Water after a workout / eat fast w/out getting stuck / eat more than a cup a food / am hungry between meals.

Check those out - Change your Protein up / are you exercising? May need to change that up as well..Good luck Becky, personally - I think you need a fill, but check w/your Dr....tell him your frustration, that's what they are there for...

Thanks for all the advice. I'm at 3.4 cc now. I'm going to discuss with him and hope he will fill more.
