Time to Get Back On Track

Aurelia,

You asked for a swift kick in the so here you go *swat*

I understand you just had hand surgery so you are very limited on how much excersice you can do, but can u still walk?? When you go places park further from the door, take the stairs when you have the option.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of Water, when you feel like you are starving trying having some Water before you eat anything. Make sure you are staying away from slider foods and instead chosing foods that are going to stay in your pouch and keep you satified longer.

I hope you are doing well with the fills I am suprised at how many you have had. I was banded 3/26...1st fill 5/1 and don't get my 2nd fill for 8 more wks. I have to admit, I don't feel like I'm "straving" it's hard to say if what I feel is really restriction becuase I don't know what restriction is supposed to feel like, but I do know I don't eat like I did pre-band.

Now you've been kicked, and it's back on track for you!! Keep us posted and let me know if you need a kick in the future (and I'll let you know when you ca return the favor!!)

Big Momma,

Thanks for that. I will try all your suggestions. I downloaded a series of ten minute workouts yesterday and I'm going to try them out to see if I can do them with my injured hand.

I've also been increasing my Protein intake and I've been trying to make better food choices.

Aurelia,

How are you doing? I have been having some of the same problems. I have had two fills, total of 5 cc's. I had some restriction after the first fill but it went away within a week. I just got my second one last week and a I dont feel any restriction. My doctor also told me that with the realize band people usually hit their sweet spot between 6-8cc's. I have really been struggling for the last week, almost depressed because I had big exspectations. I have been through this before and I know that once I feel good restriction it makes it alot easier for me to make good choices. Right now I am just fighting against my head and I am going to have to make good choices all on pure will power!

Jennibells,

I'm doing so much better now. I really got my butt in gear and I've been exercising like crazy!!! The weightloss has been slow and steady. I got another fill yesterday and I'm hoping it will finally bring me to that elusive sweet spot!
