i'm cheating.....already
bandster, look back and think about why you got banded. Also, it sounds like you may not be getting enough protein. The chili and meatloaf will fill you up the most. YOu'll be okay. Just learn from this and move on.

Humiliation
Jennibee, I am sorry that happened to you. When I went from 175 to the 200s I ran into an old friend of mine. He looked at me and said "what happened to Julie". I never looked at it that way until he said that to me. It really hurt. You handled that with grace.

1-2 lbs per week. 800-1k calories is best but some bandsters eat 1200 Hope that helps.

tattoos
I have 3 tatoos. One on my right thigh, one on my right foot and ankle and one on my left breast. I love all of them.

Am I still too tight or just swollen?
I would try and go on liquids for a few days. If that doesn't help then you need an unfill.

Third Fill In 3 Weeks
Good luck to you. I know how it can be when you are waiting for restriction.

My nurse made me feel like a failure and a PIG
Why haven't you had a fill yet? Typically they will fill you after your 6 week checkup. It sounds like it is time. Good luck.

Seriously Thinking About Backing Out
Don't be ashamed of yourself. The liquid diet phase is not easy. Do you have a GNC close by? They have a great protein shake in soy and whey. I would try their chocolate. Good luck.

Are your fills done under x-ray?
Mine only uses fluoro if you are difficult to fill. He always gets my fill on the first attempt.

How long does a typical "sweet spot" last?
Yes, it is time for a fill when you are hungry, are eating too much or and not losing.

I need some guidance.
Depends on how much you eat. With good restriction I eat 1/4 cup.

Bread!?
I can eat bread fine, just not a lot of it.

Surgery in 5 days, think having one drink on pre-op liquid diet would be bad?
Go for it. One drink will not kill you. Have fun.
