Too Tight Again

Here I am again, dealing with the same old stuff after an adjustment.

I got 0.9 CC's yesterday.
I had a EAS protein shake (170 cals) and a Starbucks Chocolate Vianno Whey Shake (250 cals).
Got off work, went home and had 2 greek yogurts.
Was wondering if I had restriction.

By dinner, I was ready to cheat.
It hadn't been 24 hours since my fill, but it HAD been 24 hours since solid food.
I had a bowl of wonton soup...mostly liquid, just 2 wontons in it.
I did okay, no PBing yesterday.

So this morning I woke up and took a big sip of chocolate milk.

Hello, PB.
Hello, 2 hours of Slime.
WTF.

So by lunch time I start eating my yogurt for lunch, sick.
Go for soup with a coworker, sick.
Get frozen yogurt with coworker, sick.

WTF.
I can't understand my band sometimes.

Currently about to post this ad and go PB again, as I just had another bite of yogurt.

    .9 is actually a pretty big fill. I would think it would take a while to adjust to it. I'd be completely closed off if I got that much fill. I currently have about 6.4. My last .3 was way too tight. I've been toying with the idea of .1 but don't want to risk being tight again. I know everyone is different, but I would think you'd definitely notice .9. Good luck! Hope it gets easier soon.

    I don't know all that much about a lap band, especially when you talk about a 'fill'. I'll have to do some research so I have a better understanding. Best wishes that you feel better soon. You've done well with your weight loss, kudos! Hope you have a great weekend.

    Had you lost all restriction before getting the fill? I'm getting one next week and my doc only wants to do a .5 and I want a full cc...we'll see...

    Yikes. Hang in there; give yourself only liquids and let your esophagus rest. Hope you feel better soon.

    Oh man! That happened to me after my very first fill and it was pretty much the worst thing ever! I had them unfill it and waited like 8 weeks to refill it. Granted, my weight loss has been much slower but we have gone really slow with my fills because it was happening every time I had a fill. So now I have like 3.5 cc in my band or something and this last fill was .5 cc and it was still kind of rough.

    I hope you got it all straightened out!!

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.
