I'm at no restriction right now due to a horrible stuck episode. I got my unfil last Tuesday, took it easy for a couple of days, now I'm eating like a wild animal! Well, not really. I'm not eating as much as I used to, but in comparison to what I can eat while in the green zone, it's sickening. Today alone I've had probably 3 cups of rice (between lunch and dinner, not in one sitting) and two steamed dumplings. Breakfast was a shake, at least I started the day right. But why am I acting like I just got off a deserted island?? I know better! I have three more weeks to go before I can get a fill I need someone to taze me or something when I start stuffing my face.

Why are they making you wait so long? I have had 2 unfills and was able to go back in the next week.

Your body may just be craving carbs. It could just be your body's way of rebelling and telling you what it wants...hopefully it will even out and you will get back on track! You are 68 lbs down, that is fantastic, remember the hard work it took to get there the next time you reach for some rice! I would sell my youngest child right about now to be down 68lbs! (Just kidding...I'd probably get more for the oldest! LOL) Stay strong and good luck!

He thought my stomach was irritated because I mentioned that I had a little heartburn. He wants it to heal properly, which is all fine and dandy, but some days I just have no control. I NEED restriction!

That's along time to wait! If I were you and felt better next week I would try to get in!

Just remember that yes the band gives us restriction yet we always have to choose our food wisely

That's possible, I do normally take it easy on the carbs. tomorrow is a new day! (and you can totally get more for the younger child, unless your older one is especially skilled in something lmao)

I know, it's all a mental thing. I don't know what to do to overcome it.

njmomma,

i feel for you. SO I was nice now get yourself together you can do it.

Let me tell you a little about me may be it would help.

I was in green. Doing ok. Then bam out of no where throwing up, reflux night cough. They took 2.75 out. .They said I would have to wait 10 weeks for a fill.

It was so hard but i told myself not will not allow myself to gain it back. I had already put on 4 lbs. So this is what i did- I measured my food and logged my food i mean eveything even an m & M. I exercised and made sure i drank my water. I went to my fitness pal. I also went to the chat here and boards . Gained 2 lbs in 10 weeks, You can do it. Our minds are very strong but so are we.!!!!

Good luck you can do it.

Wendy
