My short term goal is to be 167. Was 173 this morning. Then 160 and finally 147.
-
I actually just had some for dinner. I eat them all the time. Soft stage for me.
-
Has anyone had a complete unfill and then a full all in the same day?

It kind of depends on how much weight you still have to lose. Not sure if you're self pay. Insurance usually has guidelines. I had mine in November. I love it. I wasn't at goal about 20 lbs away. Good luck.

I go to the endo in two weeks. Hopefully she will help me out. I'm fairly versed in changing my Basel rates but lately nothing I do seems to work. Kind of like hitting that sweet spot with your band.

I use the fit bit which works in the same way. (less expensive) they are great motivational tools. I'm all for anything that keeps us aware I our journey.

I'm starting phase 1 tomorrow. I have done a whole round. Just think how far you have come. It's no easy task. You got this.

I was just wondering people's experience with low blood sugar. I'm on an insulin pump and it seems that I'm correcting low blood sugar at least once a day. That mean 60 extra calories. It's never the same time of day so I cant really change my insulin. I also just wanted to know how your experience was with your diabetes after being banded.
-
170 for me.
-
Is there anyone out there with diabetes and the lap band? If so I have some questions.
-
There's a 10 day busters diet. If I can find it I will post it.

Have an appointment for a fill in 2 weeks. Not sure if he will give me one but I was hoping he might give me a tiney tiny one. Do you know what the lowest is? Also how full can you go? Of coarse I will ask my surgeon these questions. Just wondering others experienced. I have about 8.5 in a 10cc band. (lap band not realize). Just need this last 20-25 pounds gone. I don't want to get overfilled of coarse. Right now I have minimal restriction. I can eat low calories get all my protein in. I eat all proteins except eggs. I don't eat bread often once I awhile I have rasin bread. Anyway please share your fill experiences.
