Contemplating a break

In 8.5 months, I've had 14 lap band adjustments.

That's a lot.

And I think I need a little break.

...........

More than a few times, you all have told me that my band is too tight and I'll do better if I'm a little looser.

So I'm going to test this. I'm going to cancel my next appointment and make one for later. Wish me luck!!!

    I totally agree with this method! You will rock it! I have been too tight before and it leads to eating all of the wrong things and not being satisfied! You can do this:)

    Miss Lorie is right -- and best of luck with the break. Getting the right level makes the weight come off so much easier!

      In February I had 7.2 CC's, I've had at least 1 CC added since then, so I am not sure honestly. My PA always measures how much is there total, but my surgeon does not, and he's been doing adjustments since my PA is pregnant and can't be in the room with the fluoro machine.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
