9 months--- 5th fill--- 40lbs--restriction?

By Gorda123

· 429 views

It has onmt been one month since my last fill...but after 10 days i knew i was not going to feel any restriction so i called and made an appt to get a fill.

The dr gave me 1.2 CC so i have a total of 7.8 CC. He also gave me some pointers in regards to my food journal.

I was drinking a protein drink of having fruit for BF and he said to change that. That i need something bulkier in the AM and to try to stay away from the "snaking" between meals. That is hard.

Right now i am potty trainning 2 boys and i am constantly going to the kitchen for treats, snacks, meals Oh and my 6 years old daughter is out of school...so she is

'trying " to help

 

my next appt will be in sept, that will be my 1 year annv. but if i dont see any real change in my band and my diet i will be going back to the dr.

    I hope you have restriction after this fill. I have days that I am really restricted and then I have days that I am not restricted at all.

    I wish I could send you my son and you could potty train him..and I could help you with not snacking...maybe we could do a trade!!! LOL. Our snacking is SF popcicles, jelly beans and gummy bears. I don't eat gummy bears at all..I will eat a few jelly beans but not every day..now SF popcicles..watch out! I know I eat my daily limit and go beyond on them. Once I got banded I started looking at what I was giving my son to snack on and realized that if all I did was give him all bad foods..he would have the same problems I do!! If you have cable and want to see a gross but education show..watch You Are What You Eat on BBC. Once I saw that..I snapped into shape right away. Now if I could only potty train my son...LOL I wish you the very best Gorda I know you are doing the very best you can!!

    thanks for the info..i will look for the BBC show.

    Today is day 6 of potty trainning and so far its going ok although the boys are now competing and sitting on the potty way to much and only peeing a tiny bit sometimes and still requesting the "treat" which is 2 M&Ms. Unfortunally i also am giving myself a treat too everytime i empty and clean the potty.

    I work Sat adn SUNs so my husband will be in charge of the trainning. He is a lttle to layed back so i hope that by Monday the boys have not regressed

    With my 3 kids i have been carefull what food a give them and specially the portions so that they dont have to deal with what i did. What is hard it to make other family & friends realize that you cant give a kid a adult serving of chips, cookies, crackets, ice cream. I use small bowls and dishes so it looks like more.

    The boys are loving the M&Ms since it is the 1st time that have them.
