So lately i've been feeling really down the weight is dropping soooooo darn slowly.. that i had to started to worry with all the what if's did i stretch the pouch. is all the Fluid still in there i was driving my self crazy... so today they had me do a barium swallow.. and everything is perfect.. we talk and agreed that we just need to continue to tweak the band until i get the help from it that i need but that they reminded me also that i shouldn't rely on the band 100% otherwise i'd fall in to bad habits waiting for it to make the right food choices.. it's not going to stop me putting rubbish in my mouth.. just the qty. so here's to a reset on my optimism.. i've got this. slow and steady will get me where i want to go
