To fill or not to fill???

OK..so its been a few days since I've updated.. So the last time I was depressed because I went back up to 208.. now I got back down to 202 lbs.. buts thats where I have been the last 1 1/2 months.. its been up and down like a roller coaster.. but never made it under 202..:)

I currently have 6.2CC in the band.. but my weight loss has came to a complete stop.. PLease help!! what should I do????

I've notice that on the weekends I have a tendacy to PB alot and not during the workweek. I asked myself what the difference was and I came to the conclusion that I don't drink enough water. While at work I am constantly drinking water and when it's time to eat I'm able to eat more comfortably. I have the same fill 6.2, since my last fill I've lost 6lbs, but I now know drink your water,eat your PROTEIN and chew, chew, chew!!! Hope this helps. I have another fill scheduled for 10/10 and I'm also thinking about it!!!

Believe it or not, when you are to tight, you won't always loose weight. Not saying you're starving yourself, just you body may feel like it.

Do you feel like you are to tight? How much are you eating? If it is a couple bites then uhhh then you may consider doing a small unfill. I realize no one wants to loose fill, but sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

It's a hard choice, one gal was just posting about it on the lapbandforum.com interesting read. She was to tight for so long her stomach got inflamed and she was risking a slip. To tight...not tight enough....ahh the life of a bandster. I hope you find a good fill level.
