First of all just a quick update of how I have been doing..I am down to 365.6 I was 417 the day of my pre op diet Jan 31st. Total loss of 51.4. I have been walking 3 miles every day training for a 60 mile walk I am doing in November..I havent stopped any of my medicine..but I have noticed my monthly becoming regular (TMI for some folks I know) and I have had no knee pain which is very unusual! Ok now on to my stuck episode for today. This morning I decided I wanted a bite of a donut and my band said HELL NO..It was the first time I couldnt get it to pass for 5 minutes and truly felt like I was about to fall out or throw up..It hurt so bad!! I never want to even see donut forEVER! I have ate other stuff that was too big of a bite and it took a minute to pass but I just felt the tightness I never felt sick and wow today I just knew I was going to throw up..but I didnt..It finally just passed through and I knew the second that it passed because it was a huge relief. Anyway..Loving my band and it is still by far the best decision I have made for myself. I go back to the doctor on July 17th and I Hope to get a minor fill. I think I am close to my restriction because I dont feel like I am in bandster hell...but its still not where I need to be I believe. Thats it for now

oooh that does sound scary! I'm glad you are okay. So happy for you in the progress you have made so far! The releif of the knee pain must be wonderful, and hopefully very soon you will be able to get off some of the meds. Also that is great that you are training to do a walking marathon!!!That is my goal as well, one day. it is for sure a dream of mine. Once again so happy for you! Best wishes. xx

Sometimes the band does it's just perfectly well and acts like a choker making you go, OKAY...I WON'T DO THAT AGAIN! Lol. Some things to think about, you may be swollen after a stuck episode. Also, even though you may reach a place where you think you are at perfect restriction, it may change as you lose weight and your stomach becomes leaner. You're doing a great job though. Keep it up!
