No more fills for me....

For now anyhow, had my second appointment were we decided that I didn't need a fill. Steady weight loss (Of course not as fast as I would like), 3-4 hours of satiety (Depending on if I stay away from simple carbs and focus on protein). Can pretty much eat anything, but have to be careful and have had a few stuck episodes in the last month when I wasn't.

 

It is kind of a bittersweet place to be, the green zone is this magical fairy land that is held out to us from the time we are banded, and yet here I am. I still wrestle with eating too fast, I still am plagued by head hunger, I still have to exercise, I still have weight to lose, I still get plateaued.

 

WAIT A MINUTE, YOU MEAN I STILL HAVE TO WORK AT MY WEIGHT LOSS, I THOUGHT THE BAND WAS MAGIC!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK! :D

I understand everything you wrote. I still eat too fast and my husband tells all the time. One day I hope to find the "Green Zone" like it is finding the Wizard of Oz at the end of the yellow brick road.

I am drinking my protein shake and then off to the gym-wait that sounds like you, too.

Enjoy your 'happy hump day'.

I understand this as well. No magic fairy dust in the "green"...just continue on doing what we are doing. How anti-climactic (wink)!
