:bored :bored :bored well well I guess this site has nobody from the chatt. area and let me also guess that no body has been banded at memorial hos. by dr. fromm-paynter-or ponce?? Geez I sure feel like the lonesome stud here lol.

glad its going well, slim.

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.

Also, if you're not PBing or getting stuck, it sounds like you have hit your sweet spot!

Holy cow! I hadn't even thought about that. Carrie, you just made my day!

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.

Hope you are able to get there too.

Happy Father's day to any fathers!

I hope everyone has a blessed day!

feeling a little lost...

Why are you feeling lost punkster?

still losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. not sure what i am supposed to be eating. confused.

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.

thanks for the advice.

I just wish it was better advice. How are you doing today?

I need to go for a fill, but my work schedule is so crazy right now I don't have time to fit it in

I just wish it was better advice. How are you doing today?

about the same. need a fill i think but i am definitely waiting until my appt. can eat anything now and am still hungry after eating. that is probably contributing to my discouragement. no more too tight for me, i hope. :bored:

how is everyone else doing?
