I am not 2 sure what is going on with my band. For the past 2 weeks I have not been able to eat without everything getting stuck. I can't drink with out feeling the golfball in my chest. I am scheduled for a fill on the 29th and it doesn't look like I will be going. I have lost another 5 lbs but I am nervous that I am not getting the nutrition that I need. My last fill was around October 28th. I wasn't this tight till about 2 weeks ago. After my monthly cycle finished. I figured that it would loosen up but it has not. I talked to my Dr's office and they told me to call on Friday to cancel my appt. If I decide to. Could my band have slipped? Any information from you guys will be wonderful!! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!

Keep us posted, Kelly. I hope everything is okay.

My whole family is coming to my house tonight for our Christmas party. I am a neat freak and I was stressing last night about the Christmas tree 'shedding' it drives me nuts. So the vaccum is getting used about 2 or 3 times a day. I will be glad when Friday gets here so it can come down. I really do love Christmas time it is just really stressful:confused:

i know what you mean!!! last night i baked from 6:00 - 10:30. with no break. i made homeade chocolate chip Cookies, homeade bacon and cheese rolls, and homeade pretzels. today i was only able to eat 2 cookies, 1/2 a roll and 1 pig in a blanket.

seemed like a lot of work!!!

I went to sleep last night at midnight! My 18mth old decides to get up at 2:00am. So my husband got up with him til 4 and then I got up with him! So I am running on fumes. Keep in mind that I have not been able to eat so the fumes aren't real strong! lol

wow kelly i better quite complaining!!!! i dont have any kiddos yet! you might ought to get you a sports drink to help keep you hydrated through the weekend!

I just wanted to say that I have these periods of Super restrictions once in a while. During this time even drinking Water is a chore.

One thing I do to get my daily requirements of Proteins is drink Soy milk. It takes a little getting use to, but the taste isn't really that bad. Try the brand vitasoy. you can find more info on http://www.vitasoy-usa.com/ethnic/ .

Hey Kelly,

It will be interesting to see how the restriction is as the chaos of Christmas winds down.

I noticed a big "opening" in my restriction soon after my period. It comes back every now and then -- when I least expect it. I'm thinking the stress theory is a good one. Scheduled for a fill 1/6. We'll see if I still need it when the time comes.

Put that vacuum cleaner away, girl.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I have put the vaccum cleaner away! We took the tree down this morning! Along with all the other Christmas decor. Believe it or not I was able to eat today!!!! I woke up this am and took a drink of tea and it went down!!! Even last night when the family was over I could take bites and it went down ok. Maybe it was the stress of the family coming over on Christmas Eve. I am anxious to see what tomorrow is like!! I was very excited today though!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!! BTW; for the first time the New Year Resolution of dropping weight will get accomplished this year!
