Hey Patti,

I am doing much better. I guess I just needed some time to adjust because I am able to eat, but not as much as I could prior to this fill!

We are definitely in this together. I appreciate the support. I am 5' 4" and I started at 213 lbs. I have two children. My son, who is mentally challenged, is 9 years old and my daughter who is gifted, just turned 5 years old, but will soon turn 18! I have a wonderful husband and I too want to be around for my family. Diabetes and high blood pressure both run in my family!

How long have you been banded? I was banded Nov. 20, 2008. I haven't done as well as I hoped, but I still appreciate my band!

Thank you so much for sharing your story, your thoughts, and your support for me...I am sure I will need your prayers too!

Here's to our new beginning!

Hey Patti,

My fill was done on Wednesday and until today, I just knew that I was going to have to go back to the doctor. I am more optimistic today. I drank some hot tea this morning for breakfast and by lunch time was able to eat grilled trout and a mashed potatoes. I don't know how to eat correctly...I tend to eat too fast and now chew well enough. Anyway, I am going to give it until Wednesday, which will be one week. I am trying to drink as much water to stay hydrated as I can. I am overweight so I don't think there is any danger in starving myself.

Please let me know what your doctors says. I am so...desperate to lose weight; however, I don't want to risk my health!

I hope things get better. Please stay in touch because this journey is tough especially when you're alone.

Take care:)

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog to leave words of encouragement. We all need to be helpers and encourager to one another.
