REDGIRL · April 29, 2008

Just when you think you've figured out your band(BAM) IT TAKES A NEW TURN!! I have resceduled three fill appointments because one minute I'm loose and the next minute I'm tight! How and when do I know it's time. I'm not rushing to get a fill and then be fustrated when I'm to tight. It's been almost 2 1/2 months since my last fill. But sometimes I can eat way to much and then sometimes I can't hardly get Water down. I have been almost the same weight for the last 1 1/2 months, but scared to get a fill because sometimes I am just to tight. It's 7 months and I would like to know if it will get a little better for me ? I just don't know what to do! If someone could relate please let me know!! Oh and I started walking for the last few days and lost 1 lbs. I was so excited this morning when I got on that scale.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png" alt=":lol:" />

I'm also losing slowly. I have been writing down what I'm eating and comparing it to my past food journal. I'm really doing much better compared to my pre-surgery eating, but there are times when I choose to have a 'treat' and even though it is not much, for what ever reason, my body is not cooperating. To get the weightloss to start up again, I know I need to change my exercise up a bit, and write down every morsel because you may see that you have too many carbs or you could see that you do not have enough to eat, because that too can halt your weightloss.

I bet if you keep up the walking, write down what you eat and be meticulous:smile2:, your scale will keep moving!

Redgirl, maybe you should go into your dr and talk about it? Sometimes I am not sure if I can get a fill and I go in anyway, to hear what they have to say. The dr will ask me questions about the patterns and portion sizes and look at my weight loss. Based on those, they either tell me not to get a fill or will give me a fill.

I know what you mean about it being loose or too tight sporadically... I call the band a finicky bitch :party:
