2ND FILL HAS KICKED IN


Recommended Posts

Okay, I know this is what we demand as a bandster, but wholly cow, I can barely eat a thing.

I was able to eat an english muffin w/sausage this morning, about 5 bites of chicken at lunch and 1 chicken fajita for dinner and wow, major restriction.

I chew chew chew until it's liquid, I am so afraid of another PBing episode, so far so good.

I need to retrain my brain again to stop when I'm full....that is the hardest part of all this...a plate of food, take a few bites and want more, but can't.

Cross your fingers it stays for awhile and I can get back to being a loser!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I know the feelilng. I am glad if I get more than just a couple of bites. No bread for me though. I do miss that. I have been doing yougurt and protien shakes to make sure I get what I need. Maybe that will help you. I was getting headaches until I did that. Good luck.

Hi there,

That is such wonderful news! I know how frustrating it can be (without restriction), and I couldn't be happier for you.

I agree that the challenge will now be for you to get all your vitamins/minerals in. You may get very familiar with your blender, again!

Anyway, have a great weekend, Skinny Kittycat!!!!

I know what you mean Kathy, mine took a month to kick in and boy is it keeping me on my toes!! Yesterday was my birthday and Hubby & I were going to go out for dinner, but I was afraid to! I ended up eating light at home. I'd be mortified if I'd have a PB episode at a resturante.... I'm not a quiet girl when it comes to PBing :bad:

I'm trying to do the retraining thing myself.... I'm slow at it though!!

Good luck Kathy and I LOVE YOUR CUT & COLOR!! :D

I'm so glad you got a good 2nd fill! I'm having my 2nd fill next Friday! I'll be referring back to your posts to see what you did to get through it. I got 2 cc's the first time and I'm hoping for the same again. Not too much restriction the first fill, but I had absolutely nothing in my band before that.

Good luck and thanks for posting such imformative things for us all!

Do we need to go on full liquids again a few days before the first fill in addition to the days folowing the fill? I get my first fill Sept 16th...and I was wondering about that...

Hi Elainad, my doctor told me not to change my eating habits before the fill, but afterwards I am on three days of mushy/soft foods.

Good Luck with your fill!!

Thanks Denise, portion control is what I use inbetween fills. I have developed willpower all of a sudden with the band, I guess the pricetag might have something to do with it! LOL!! I have gone through too much to fail this time. Second fill is working like a charm so far!!
