I haven't PB'd. I guess I am just being overly anxious. I am just not used to getting full on so little. I took my time with it. I know I spent about 30 minutes trying to get what I did eat down. I guess this is just better restriction than I am used to having. I have lost 3 pounds since Tuesday. I guess I just need to stop being crazy. Restriction is what I wanted. I haven't asked since that one time, how much I have in my band. I will just keep an eye on it and take my time with my eating. I am cooking some chicken in the crock pot for dinner tonight. I guess that will be my test.

Punkster, I am glad that you are feeling better after your unfill.

Y'all have a great Friday!

Well, i was able to eat the meat from a chicken thigh. I also had a couple bites of veggies and rice. It all went down fine. I guess i was worrying for nothing. You all have a great weekend!

slim, if you have really good restriction, it should take you at least 30 minutes to eat. I know it seems like a long time, but you will get used to it.

i hope that is true, slim. i can now eat anything it seems but it is much better than not being able to eat much of anything. i have the same appt in july that i guess i will get another fill at. i am swinging all around my sweet spot i feel. i trust this process and know that i will get there hopefully sooner rather than later.

hope everyone is doing well.

I am so sorry punkster. I have been there. I keep going there. When it is time for me to have a fill, I start to lose and gain the same pounds. You might try to either drop your calories for a couple days or up your exercise for a couple of days to shake you out of that. The couple of times that I have tried that, it seems to finally make me drop the pounds that I kept losing/gaining. Also, I have found that even though I don't want to eat like I am on a diet, I am going to have to do it more often than not to lose. I do ok for a little while eating what my family eats, but then it just starts creeping back up. I wish that I had a better answer for you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
