To Fill or not to Fill

Hi Everyone..

Lets catch up... I was banded 9/1.. down 32 lbs since liquid diet started 8/22. I have had three fills.. and am due for one more tomorrow ( that will be covered inclusinvely as post op visit for insurance purposes.. ) After the last fill I certainly have had some uncomfortable tightness that made me sick.. but in retrospect.. that is operator error... not the fault of the fill.. if ya catch my drift. So I am leaning towards getting a fill to find that sweet spot that I have been looking for since this whole process started!!

Clothing question for all the girls out there.. I usually need to wear Petit fit clothes... but in the past have just had a big number before the "P".. I am finding that the 16w ( petit) clothes are too big BUT cannot fit into 14P... It is extremly frustrating~ I am NOT one who cares what the number is on a piece of clothing.. I am just trying to make the mornings go smoother when I am looking for work clothes.. As long as it looks good on.. I could care less the about the "number"

Also one more thing - in the past I have mentioned that the only person in my life that knows about the Band is my wonderful husband. Well last week I went to my Mom's house and NOTHING was mentioned about my weight loss!! Unfreakin believable.. now it is definitely noticable and she has ALWAYS been critical of my weight and for her not to say anything.. proved to me two things.. So happy that I choose not to share this with anyone... and second.. I am gonna loose another 50lbs for me not anyone else ( except my husband becuase he is loving having me happy and healthy as I "shrink") My friends have been wonderful and recognize my efforts. Work has been great as well.

Your doing great & yes do it for yourself! Mom's & daughter's have odd relationships. They can annoy us like no one else, but also be your best friend.

Even people very close to you can be very mean. I have a friend (maybe not so much anymore?) that focuses on baggy clothes and loose skin and has never said a nice thing. Be happy for you -- you have done FANTASTICALLY!

I wear petite sizes too (5'3). I was in Talbots the other day and almost had a meltdown when I had to try on a 16P as most of my pants now are 14s. The saleslady told me petite sizes run smaller in the hips and waist as well as length. I ran over to Macy's and validated the statement myself (LOL). And I spend 20 minutes every day trying on clothes to get ones to fit and look good. Oh well?>>>>>>>>>>>

You are doing so well! Keep up the awesome work.
