Is it posible to be tight -last fill was 5 months ago



Recommended Posts

My last fill was in Oct. Up untill Jan things have been slow but gradually losing- then I felt no restriction, I could eat more and wasnt losing. All of a sudden 1.5weeks ago I got tighter- I thought it was due to stress, but not stressed out anymore.. I eat less than before because of this and the scale hasnt budged since Jan- stuck at 30lbs. Which I am not to concerned about ( i seem to lose a pound or 2 then stop and lose inches)

Any takes on this?

No PB'ing, no acid reflex, .. am at Curves 3x week, and on treadmill 20 minutes the other days, drinking Water. Not TOM, not sick.

Added note: Today I ate normally-bandster normal that is-LOL

Also I tried on a pair of flannel jammie shorts- never able to wear- to tight in abdomen, butt hips. TODAY: BAGGY!!!:rockon:

And a T-shirt my mom got me from her Alaskan Cruise last yr- to snug- today BAGGY!!!!!:faint:

Any ideas about this- someone on another board suggested I may have Band slip-

Yes.

and no, don't automatically think you have a slip. Weird things happen. If you are eating less, not PBing, with the same fill you've had for so long, don't complain, it's awesome! I've recently realized not to worry so much until you really have reason to, and even then, it's probably not as bad as you're making it out to be. Every day I could eat more than the last, I thought about a slip, because of what I read on here.

You pants are getting too big? Cry me a river. :) I laugh when I hear myself complain about that. I got a shirt and jacket at Xmas, that I don't think I'll ever wear because they're already too big, and will be worse by the time its warm enough to wear them!

Really though... take it. You're not in pain, or anything else. Maybe you'll be someone who weighs 190lbs but wears a size 4.... who cares?! Right!? Enjoy it :)

First of all....Mandi, 4 am????? Go to bed girl!!!

Secondly.....Good advice. Like Mandi says, enjoy the ride. The band is weird and finicky, and I am the worst person to be impatient nd think something is wrong. Like Mandi says, if your not in pain and your feeling and looking good, enjoy it, coast a while and check in with yourself in a month from now to re-evaluate. Good for you with Curves BTW!!!

Thank you both..... I feel better already- I had No pain or anything so I will just monitor it and see how it goes. Had a feeling that nothing is really wrong just the band is being "fickle", but I guess its not a bad thing..really..only if the scale would move!!!LOLOL

Thanks again Amanda and Chloe

Robyn,

Mandi and Argon are right, the band is a pretty sturdy things and usually we worry for nothing. But it is possible that with everything going peachy the band can self tighten, you may not feel you are stressed but something within the body can change. It is a fickle thing.

My body did the same thing when I reached the end of my losing streak and it still does it once in a while.. skirts that I bought in August are all big in the waist now and I haven't lost weight, my body shape changed yet again. If you are seriously worried don't fret, call the clinic and get some relief and enjoy the baggy pants.. Celebrate the little victories.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
