The title of today's subject cracks me up! I really do mean this literally. This may be TMI to some, and if so I apologize. I have been backed up before surgery due to the amount of protein we take in and I am still having this problem. I searched the message boards and found a topic that discussed this already. So I will be attempting to use either Miralax or Benefiber. I think the Miralax will provide some relief and the Benefiber will help with fiber until I can consume more through eating. I am drinking as much water as I can.
 
On a side note in Houston, it is time for the Livestock Show and Rodeo, with the carinival. So there is a lot going on with food, drinks and good times. Funny thing is that I am not even hungry nor do I have a desire to eat that food. Every year we go the barbecue cook off and this year we skipped it. I thought I would be a bit upset about not going, but no. My health and well being mean so much more!

Went to my favorite store (CATO) last week and bought some size 14 jean capris! Tried them on and they fit well...not to tight. After wearing them they loosened up alot! I cant believe it...SIZE 14!!! I also bought a blouse....large! It feels wonderful!! I have an appointment on Friday for another fill. I'm thinking I may not need one. I'm worried about being overfilled. Nothing gets stuck and I stay satisfied after eating for about 4 hours. Right now I have 5.75cc in my band. The hunger pains died down after the last fill. It didnt seem that way at first but about 2 weeks later I started feeling like my band had gotten tighter. I got on the scale this morning and it read 237!! 54lbs lost!! I'm still keeping up with my 4 workouts a week....I feel guilty if I don't go to the gym...I'm loving the way my body is changing for the better!
