I'm down to 205. Life has really got in the way of my weight loss. This summer has been so busy. I cannot wait till things slow down. My husband and i took in a foster child. he is a family members child. So now i have My two boys 4 and 3 and a 15 month old. Needless to say i dont get to the gym nearly as often as i was. I do walk my oldest son to and from school witch gives me a good 20 walk but it does not seem to be enough. I have noticed lately that my band work wonderfully till about 2 then i become a bottomless pit. I can eat sooooo much more after 2pm. i have 7cc in a 10cc band so there is no way i want another fill. Does anyone else have this issue?

    Congrats on the foster baby. How wonderful for you to do something like that. That tells me you are a caring human being, so you have to learn to care for yourself.

    If you are that hungry in the afternoon, you are possibly not drinking enough fluids during the day. Have you tried sugar free ice pops or sugar free jello/pudding? How about string cheese?

    I wish you and your extended family a lot of luck. Make time for yourself - let the hubs stay with the children and get back to the gym. Keep making yourself healthier - if not for you, for the 3 little ones. Good luck.

    Hi! I am the same way except for me I am super restricted until about 6 oclock...then I can eat. Some days I don't even try to eat anything besides yogurt or milk before then. After 6 I am still restricted but not to the point of getting stuck. It's so weird! :) I have had one fill 5cc in a 10 cc band...After the baby comes I am gonna try for one more small fill. Hope all goes well for you, you are so close to onederland!!! Keep it up and keep us posted! :) PS Congrats on the new addition :)
