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!!

Life ....or Something Like it

 There was once a time that my blog was therapy to me.  It seems now I neglect my blog for actual therapy- but that is probably a good thing.  It has been 2 years since I wrote a post.  It isn't for lack of wanting to, I just don't want to be fake on here, and there were times that I felt like I could not be transparent or myself, so I chose not to write.  It was nothing to do with weight loss/gain- I will always be transparent there, but my life was a little upside down and sideways at times over the last few years.  I am finally at a place that I can be me, so here I am again. Being me isn't all pretty- but it's honest. The last two years have been...busy. I had my skin removal surgery on January 27, 2022.  I'm almost 19 months post-op, and it was hell!  The surgery itself went great: -Lower Body Lift with Belt Lipectomy -Breast Lift with Augmentation The healing process was the hardest.  I didn't feel like "myself" for about 6 months and that is som

Ten Things Thursday

1. I forgot to weigh in this morning, but my other weigh ins this week tell me the number on the scale really had not moved since last week. 2.  Yesterday my plans were kind of up in the air.  First, my mom talked about coming to visit.  Then Mr. Banker asked to come over.  Then a friend, Ashley, asked me to go to dinner.  My mom canceled, so I told Mr. Banker that Ashley had asked me to dinner, so he told me to go out with her.  I guess he wasn't expecting I would be at the restaurant for 4 hours because apparently he was planning to come over after my dinner. 3.  One of my favorite things about Lap Band is that I can usually go out to dinner for about $4 now.  If you don't have a card from your WLS that states you can eat from the kid's menu, you're missing out! 4.  I need a fill.  I'm hungry all the time right now.  I tried to move my appointment up, but they didn't have any openings.  I'm so thankful my PA will be back next month!  It's so much

32 Weeks Pregnant

Hi everyone, just wanted to stop in with a quick pregnancy/weight update. So... I'm still lighter than I was the day I found out I was pregnant, but I have watched the scale creep up slightly and that is hard!  SO HARD! Above is a picture I took Friday at 32 weeks.  It's insane, I hardly even look pregnant at all.  7.5 weeks left, hopefully I can stay under my pre-pregnancy weight in the next 7.5 weeks!
