So it's been awhile since I last posted, but I'm still loving my lap-band! I had my second fill last monday, where she gave me .5ccs (my first fill was 4.4ccs). I was pretty disappointed when I heard how low she was going, but I agreed anyway, bc she didn't really want to give me one in the first place. I'm 3 months out and lost 50 lbs between pre-op and now, so she was really happy with my progress.

Well.. I'm thinking i might be at green, or close to it. I can still eat and enjoy foods, but I'm noticing i get stuck if I'm not mindful of my eating. I've had 3 pb episodes, so I really need to focus on small bites, chewing well, and listening for my signals (usually a small hiccup). I'm still eating low carb, because it works best for me.

Currently sipping warm green tea because i just had a pb episode with Quest Protein chips.

I to was banded in May. I have only had one fill 3 cc. going for my next on Sept. 3. I do remember things getting stuck right after fill but now things just slide down as long as I chew them good. I also do the hiccup thing when I have had enough. I hope my next fill puts me in the green. Low carb works for me to. I love quest bars. Dietician today said okay to eat one of those a day. Good Luck!
