So, I had my last fill three weeks ago. It's been an interesting ride since then, but I'm finally down to 152.6 from 159.6 (I think it's what it was) when I h the fill. food very restricted. I need to make sure I'm getting enough Protein (I need to do better), but I am pretty much never hungry. I've also been taking steroid pills after having a steroid shot for my poison ivy. I don't know if that could be causing some of that huge loss this week, but I don't care. I'll just keep it off!

My only issue with this last fill, is that I seem to feel the band all the time and it's a tad uncomfortable at times. But, I am dealing with it, because of how great my food restriction is. And the weight is coming off again finally. I'm at a weight I haven't been in 19 years and I haven't been able to say that in a long time. I am 3 lbs from my next mini goal and now just about 25 from my goal. I can't believe it. Could it really be true that I can get to it after being banded almost 4 years ago?

Alright, well that's all for now. Off to work I go. I hope everyone is doing well and if you've been slow at lost like me, don't give up on it.

How do you feel the band? What does that mean?

2muchfun, I mean that it feels like I feel it all the time; It feels tight. food is getting through it though, so I guess it's not too tight. It has not been too difficult getting used to the restriction this time. I just know I can only eat way less.

On this initial post, I thought I was 25lbs from goal. I went a little overboard. It's 37lbs. Not bad. I can deal with that, because I've said that goal weight was just that and that if I feel good at say 10lbs more than that, I'll be happy.
