Fill Please!!

I sucked it up and called my doctor today to move my fill up...I have lost NO weight since my fill on Jan 11th. I am holding steady at 250...I have been teeter tottering to 249 and back for 3 weeks now , my short lived 240 excitement was just that...short lived. My appetite is increasing and I can eat a larger portion size now before I even begin to fill full. I dont even feel like I had another fill last month! I still am having stuck episodes though with wings, chips and even on salmon. I have to admit I have not been eating as great since the week I was sick but you would think with the band you dont have to be sooo anal every day all the time!! I do find myself leaning toward easier foods like mashed potatoes and cookies..lol..That is frustrating to me..I find that if I dont hit the gym at least 3x per week and watch what I eat everyday, I dont lose anything....I could accept that when I dieted but with the band I thought it would be..how do I say it? EASIER!!! I know that I probably wouldnt of lost 50lbs without it especially this fast but when you are on the low end of the process its hard to think of the good stuff. I want to lose so much more weight and of course I want it like yesterday! but by june would work:)..Is that too much to ask?...I hate the idea that I have hit a stand still for a month now...that is such wasted time in my eyes...that could be another 8lbs! At my last visit the doctor said he didnt want to see me back for 3 months...that put me at April 19th. There is no way in hell I am gonna wait that long for another fill...when I called I was lucky that they got me in March 1st. I just want to get to my sweet spot where I really am full after half of a cup. right now Im still almost 2 cups until I feel full and satisfied. I figure worse case I have to just struggle through and try to do my best for another 3 weeks, it sure is better than 2.5 months! I alreay have 8cc's in the band and it only goes up to 11..Im a little nervous that Im so close and only 6 months out! Oh yea..speaking of 6 months..I completly forgot to recongnize my 6 monh bandiversary! Happy friggin anniversary to me!!! lol...I would of preferred to bring it in another 10lbs down but I guess I cant have it all!!

  1. hang in there, I noticed that I have a problem when I don't eat truly solid foods that I get hungry all the time. Like soup or my protein shakes. Try to replace any semi mushy foods for a smaller portion of more solid foods.
    That is great that your date got moved up though :)

  3. Happy Bandiversary! I hope the new fill works for you. I am more full with solids than soft foods too. I have to add that it is a cruel twist of fate that junk food passes so easily through the band but good food doesn't!

  6. Happy 6 months! Soft food syndrome/sliders (even crunchies like chips) are usually a signal you're too tight (as they go down more easily), but it sounds like you aren't. If 4oz. of solid protein then 1/2C of other things ontop isn't keeping you full for 3-4 hours, and you're following the water rules, then you need a fill...and then if you're paying attention to 'satisfied', it should be easier!
