Christmas Goals

coolcrystal · December 9, 2008

Let's see, I had to get half of my entire fill taken out like 3 weeks ago and have had the ability to eat whatever I want. So far I've gained 2 lbs total. Which isn't bad. I got half of the half put back in on Thursday, which puts me up to like 4.8.. I still don't really have any restriction though. lol. And I get another fill the week after xmas. So, my goal is to just maintain what I have right now. And not panic. I didn't get a slip or anything, I just developed some type of sensitivity to the band and kept bringing everything up even when I wasn't tight. So, to be safe, my doctor wanted half out.

Originally my Christmas goal had been to be 220 .. lol.. yeah, that aint happening. oh well, I'm still happy :-)

Crystal,

That sounds like a very reasonable approach. Good luck!

Thank "god" for another fill. I had 0.7ml put into mine on Tuesday and thankfully I have a good restriction. Let's just say I am not making much progress with my stir fry beef and vegi salad I just bought.

I had been able to eat anything I wanted for quite a long time (months) but had only put on .5kg which is good considering I have eaten myself stupid on jelly lollies. I know naughty me.

I would like to lose another 2 kilos before the end of January. Considering I have been on plateau for many months that may not be achieveable. But I am thinking positively and with this last fill am going to do it!

Good luck everyone.

Pah..2kgs before the end of Jan..

I did that over the weekend! (see "horrible experience" post).

Unfortunately the loss was due to being blocked, but I still lost. Hope I can capitalise now that my restriction is near perfect.

OUCH Peek! Hope you are doing ok.

My original post was I hoped to maintain (as I anticipated losing was not going to happen). WEll, now I am in the 'hope not to gain TOO much' camp...bah! :smile2:
