april 24 2009 banded 2 month

[Dee 39]

Been banded for 2 months. How is everyone doing?

I have had one fill (8.4 cc total )and lost a total of 20# since surg date.

Learning to eat! Smaller bites and chewing enough

Stuck= chicken, turkey

PBx1 (liquids for 48 hours)

second guessing decision but I did lose 20#

Think I have restriction,

YOU?????:thumbup:

Banded on 4/21 and I have had 2 fills and I don't think I'm feeling restriction I'm eating a lot less than pre-op but still way more than 1 cup of food. I have yet to slime or pb, probably because I'm really afraid of it so I try to stop as soon as I feel full or hiccups.

I'm down about 2 lbs this week bringing my total weight loss to 48 lbs. I'm real happy with that number and I'm feeling much healthier however if I only made better food choices I think I could be down a lot more. Oh well I try to keep reminding myself this is a way of life and not a diet to race to the finish line. I just want to be able to wear a cute outfit before summer is over!

Banded April 17, 2009, not eating the way I'm supposed to, but not eating any where near what I'm used too! I don't feel any restrictions, two fills with a total of 6cc in a 11cc band. Never had PB's or anything negative. Scared to death so I won't over eat. Very slow process, but learning so much about me and my eating habits :0 I did not at all know I had.
