Well this week has been a real challenge......it's "employee appriciation week" at work and WOW! Muffins, Cookies, Klondic Bars, Sandwiches, ect ect....Food Food Food Food. Plus I am having a visitor, so that makes me want sweets. Horrible time of the month to have will power! UGH! I pretty much feel like this.... I don't need much along the lines of temptation when it come to food......give me a break....I dive in head first.....

Who hides from the camera......*looks both ways* LOL

WTG on the weight loss! Bummer about the BIG "P" guess it's out bodies way of catching up. I've avoided the scales all week due to TOM. Nice to just live for a week and not watch the numbers!

I think it's great you are striving for a healthy goal. To each their own. We all have our own ideas of what to fat and to skinny is. It's crazy to me that she even approached you. She has some very passionate feelings, that is for sure. We are shaped by our past so you can see how her cancer experience really took a toll on her. God Bless her. I am glad she was well enough to concour her cancer! My Aunt always wanted to be thin. When she was battleing cancer she would comment, I always longed to be thin. I wish I wouldn't have seen it this way. Keep on keeping on!

Liquids are hard. When I do liquids after a fill I normally do 1 full day. The second day I do liquids until super. I keep up the second day routine until I can't stand it anymore. Then I go back to eating. Swelling is not our friend! If you find after a few days your are still pretty tight, you may get your wish to be less restricted. A small unfill maybe in order. I've read how .1cc can make all the difference in the resricted to much world. Hang in there! Add some popcickles or something fun to keep you on track! Don't worry, it's only a few days. food will be there when you are finshed! LOL I am not sure about the 4th fill. I am really on the fence. It's not until later in the month, so I can always cancel it. I hear ya on creeping up on your sweet spot. I am grateful it was/is a gradule process or it would have really been a RUDE awakening. I am a foodie, so I am still struggling. I do exceptionally well during my work day, then the evening comes and it's hard. The weekends are my worst time........I tend to benge. Benging now is different than pre band but....a benge is still a benge..... Hang in there!!!! Let me know how you are doing. Support makes all the difference in the world!

I've heard it can take a couple weeks for a fill to settle in. I have been hoping for that.....I have my 4th fill scheduled on the 25th. After my 2nd, briefly, and my 3rd fill I felt the restriction I have been shooting for! I am really wanting to hit the "sweet spot" this time!

Glad I was able to help! I hope a couple days of liquids will help you get back on track. Sounds like you are doing good!

Glad to hear it worked itself out in a weeks time. Yay! I am doing the happy dance with you! Thanks for sharing the outcome.

Band_Groupie - I have such a hard time keeping emotional composure when I think or read of this terror attack. Even now, I am nearly to emotional to type this reply. I set here and listend to the names being read off. This event is burnt into my mind. I was at home and work when this happened. What a numb emotional day that was. I mentioned it in my blog entry as well today. God Bless the USA!
