    Skyvic got a reaction from ☠carolinagirl☠ in Lesson Learned   
    I now I have had a second UTI (bladder infection) so... I had a full August 2, all going as planned but when I get busy at work, I'm not paying attention to my water intake. I go home, rush to take care of the kids, hurry to fix dinner, then go exercise. The moral of my little story: do not forget to drink!!!!! I did and I'm dehydrated once again. The weather is not too hot and I am just not paying attention because I'm not thirsty. Well, after going to urgent care and whipping out that co-payment and antibiotics bill... I will drink!!!!!!!! More!!!! Anyone have troubles like this?

    Definitely rest when you can. Very likely your energy level could be low. Protein beverages help...Isopure can be purchased at GNC or vitamin/sports stores. Walmart has one but doesn't taste great.

    Skyvic got a reaction from ♕ajtexas♕ in Help On Weekend   
    This weekend has been espy ally hard with three day weekend and the day off of work so it kind of throws the weekend structure!!!! Ok, so you binged a little on the wrong foods...I had a margarita ( skinny but still!) today might be the day you go for a nice long run/walk and get back on track or go for a hike with family. It seems that kicking in some fitness may jumpstart that urge to eat well again...it is for me but I'm also enjoying a few extras, like a bite of lavendar fudge from Palisade, CO. We are all human and you will get back on track...it's ok:) Good luck

    Skyvic got a reaction from Cynsayshun in Caffeine?   
    I was advised by my nutritionist to keep it to one cup of day nit for erosion but dehydration. It suppresses my appetite but...I use fattening creamer!!!! So defeats the purpose. But this is the one thing I will keep...I have to be to work by 6:30 am so I enjoy that first part of morning when I sip my creamer with coffee. I need to find a good fat free sugar free one...haven't yet.

    Skyvic got a reaction from Justme9786 in When Did You Feel Restriction?   
    As we lose weight the restriction is less and just recently in August my band is filled at 5.75 and sitting in green zone with some good weight loss after feeling a little too tight the first week and a half after fill. I had to really concentrate on mushy and protein afterwards. Now I'm feeling great. Surgeon said to come back in October and looking at 6cc should be the tweak next time. I'm just about 25 pounds or so to goal.

    It sounds like our lives are getting busy that we are forgetting to take care of our needs too! I'll get back on track and finally concentrating on water intake and exercise again after getting kids situated to school again.

    You are so right!!! I've been so busy and sluggish but have also had less water and protein up until today. Feeling so much better and band is not being so finicky today, finally feeling better.

    Skyvic got a reaction from running_scared in Fill / Unfill Of Less Than .5 Cc's?   
    I'm so glad that others opt for conservative fills. I have good insurance and that's a blessing. Otherwise I couldn't do this. I definitely can fill this 1/4cc adjustment. Makes a huge difference! I am in green zone!

    To me the green zone is a period of time in which you are satisfied with your three healthy meals and two small snacks' date=' your Water intake. You are following good rules and you are not hungry in between meals. At the same time you are losing weight steadily without so much hunger. This is the only way I can describe my green zone. It's not necessarily about restriction as it is about satisfaction throughout your day with less calories.

    Skyvic got a reaction from fericito in That Moment When.......   
    My point is...take it slow after fills because it may change your eating and your habits as well. I am learning that I must take smaller bites and chew, chew, chew. Some textures do not work for me when it does for others. I think everyone is different. I can't have any type of bread or dry meat period. Good news is that I'm down 4 pounds!
