Good luck with ALL of that…it will keep you busy and all of that moving and unpacking is great exercise!

that will do it!!! will be thinking nothing but good thoughts for you this coming week!!! hang in there girl-you've got it!!!

Thank you!!! I'm going to need it! Trying to get back on the bandwagon after having a partial unfil for almost a year due to pregnancy

Congrats on the new job.

So happy for you! I love it when things work out

Thank you!

So what's up? Why defeated? Starting over can be difficult but try to treat this like it's a lifetime change and you don't need to get there in a few months. It doesn't need to be so hard if you realize how much time you have to accomplish just short goals.

That's a good way to look at it tmf. I suppose I feel like I should be making as much progress as I was before but I was trying a lot harder before and following the band rules much more strictly! I can't seem to care enough to try that hard again right now.

Hi ErinMarie! No fill for me. Dr and nutritionist said I wad in starvation mode and that I needed to be eating more. I was pushed up to the final stage of eating.......yeah for raw veggies!!!! Some days I eat well and other days I am not too hungry so I guess for now 2cc' s it is.

How are you doing? How full was your band last time you were in the green zone? How long can you go without eating?

When I was at my sweet spot before my pregnancy I was at 8 cc. I had 4 taken out due to swelling and I just had 2 put back in, so I'm up to 6 cc now. I am hungry on 1 cup portions about every 2 hrs right now (which I expected). I really can't remember how far I went without eating when I was in the green zone, but I know it was pretty normal (3 meals a day, maybe one snack). I expect I will need that other 2 cc to get back into the green. I feel restriction, but I can tell it's no...

Spread your meals out so you eat every couple of hours during this time.

Drink water to help flush your system and your tummy full.

Having your cycle is the pits.
