I'm so mad at myself. We went to a couple of pool parties with party food and drinks over the holiday weekend. I weighed in today and I've gained 2 pounds. I've been on carb overload since then. I can't seem to stop! I did this to myself, I have no one to blame but me! I'm getting back on track today! Normally I track everything I eat on fitday and I haven't done that in almost a week. I can't believe after just 6 short weeks I've already gotten so complacent. Sheesh!!! I get another fill next Wed and boy do I need it. I can eat almost anything with no probs. Everything is going down too easy and I've gotten lazy!!! Not to mention the fact that I had several margaritas over the weekend loaded with empty calories and sugar. It's been so long since I had one and they were so good!! Enough is enough. Today I'm back on track with a vengence. Anyone want to join me. If not, just give me some supportive words please. Thanks!!!

i'm in the same boat! i was banded on 04/21/08 and had my first fill on 05/19/08. i was on the liquid then mushie diet up to my fill so i didn't start eating real food until 05/22/08. once i started i find it so hard to stop! as a matter of fact, i feel LESS restricted after my first fill! i'm going in for my 2nd fill on 06/07/08 and have already scheduled for july too!

I noticed Dr. Trace Curry did your surgery. Was that in Cincinnati? Do you live in Cleveland and travel to Cinti? The reason I ask, I live in Northern Kentucky and have heard of Dr. Curry. I almost considered having him do my surgery, but he wasn't one of the providers my insurance company would accept. I had my surgery done by Dr. Thomas Sonnanstine in florence, KY and I am VERY pleased with him and his entire office staff.

Anyway, just curious.

And I, too, am able to eat more than I think I should be able to. I've had one fill, but obviously need more. Maybe we all just haven't hit that "sweet spot" yet. I've heard it frequently takes 3 fills to get there.

Hang in there ladies!
