I'm back from OCC, got my second fill. I have 7.5 cc's. I can feel restriction!!!! So excited!
-
Someone said to me today "It must be so sad that you don't enjoy food anymore". My response was, "It's quite opposite, I enjoy food now more than ever. I never knew what it was like to take small bites and truly enjoy and savor every single bite. Now I am really enjoying my food whereas before, my food was controlling my life and I didn't even taste what I ate."

It's nice to be able to eat "real" food and be satisfied. My best friend always gets a bagel ab
nd she only eats half. Before the band I could have eaten two bagels at a time. Now we share one bagel and I usually only eat half of the half for breakfast and the other half of the half for lunch.

I haven't updated in a while. Not so good news I'm afraid, over the last couple of weeks, I went up 5 lbs! I had no restriction at all and frankly was unusually hungry. I got my fill yesterday, I don't know if it took yet as I'm on a liquid diet until tomorrow. I can't wait to feel some restriction!!!
-
Wuuuuuut? 171.4? Exactly 5 lbs? Maybe I'm just hungry because I'm not eating enough. Increasing my intake of food. This is exciting but also scary. Almost 10 lbs in 2 weeks? Uhm
-
congrats on the weight loss but make sure you are taking in enough calories and protein.
-
also, don't get disappointed ifit slows or you ain a little back. I had a six pound week and then gaine two back and stalled for a week. You body doesn't like losing it that quickly and will begin to fight it especially since you are not that heavy. Great job though!

OOOOh, just looked at my spelling. You would never believe I was a teacher. Oh well I teach science, not typing!LOL

Wondering if I'll get some relief from being hungry when I get my first fill. I am eating a third of what I used to eat and pretty hungry all the time. I am just following the instructions they gave me at OCC. Will it get better on the first fill or will I have to wait for a few fills before I get some relief?

My second fill seems to be doing OK, Everyone's different.
-
Hang in there. I hope it doesn't take 5 fills to feel any restriction.
-
Judith, I wonder too, So widdlee, were your fills at occ?
-
I lost 4.4 this week, I'm super excited!!!
-
OK Adding more protein and more patience. I weighed myself again (no obsessed, promise). I'm recording my weight a day early. I weigh in Fridays but I'm going camping today. 181. +.2 It's ok, it's no like I can say forget it and go get a ridiculous amount of food like I've done every other time I've tried to loose weight. I'm going to keep on trucking.
-
My scale is going in the wrong direction 182?
-
temporary I am sure. Hang in there. How often are you weighing yourself? I am sure you know this but maybe it will help hearing it - we fluctuate during the day so if you are not weighing at the same time in the same "condition" (clothing wise) that can alter the number on the scale.
-
I sure hope it will pass but it just gets frustrating sometimes. The old me would have said forget this and would have prepared a feast. It's a good thing I have the band. I am weighing myself every few days at the very same time (first wake up), no clothes, to keep it cosistent. This mid week weigh in has proven that pounds lost are not pounds gone. They can come back :-(
-
That just happened to me too. I lost 6 pounds real fast then gained 3 back. Now it's coming off slowly again. It's just something that will happen. I added some more protein and it seems to help.

I lost 2 lbs this week. I'm at 180.8. Yay!
-
I can't wait to officially weigh in tomorrow. I weigh myself throughout the week (I know I shouldn't be scale obsessed) and I've been seeing some weight loss. So excited about this journey!!!!
-
I am scale obsessed as well. I weigh in every day. It actually helps me as the only source of support I currently have is the forum and the scale. It is all good.

Happy that the first Support Group Conference Call went well. We had 4 particpants total on the call. Join us next time fellow bandsters!
-
This soup business is a piece of cake. I think the next 10 days will fly. Day 13, yay!
-
Hi friends, I was thinking, how about setting up a conference call once a week to catch up on our progress? Who's up for it?
