I couldn't eat much over this past week..... except...... for chocolate and ice-cream ! Why oh why does my band allow those things to go down so easily and when I try to eat the good stuff like veggies, fruits and protein..... it is a real job to get those things down !
I went to weigh in today but the scale I normally weigh on has been taken away so now I have to weigh on the other one... which kind of puts me out.... I think I lost 2 pounds but I'm not sure. I know my scale said I lost 3.5 pounds in the last two weeks but of course every scale weighs me differently so I go by my "official scale" at the doctor's office so I am bummed not to see that weight loss there (since its a different scale) - .
Hope everyone had a great Easter and that the "chocolate" monster didn't take over completely! Oh well, its only once a year, right, ..... right ??!

unfill
Since I have had my unfill - about 3 weeks ago,(now at 5.25) I am finally able to get in about 70 ozs of water - and I am so pleased about that.
I had my very first PB on Tuesday - so now I know what everyone is talking about - a really weird experience !
I can manage to eat a little something in the morning and lunch is better but at night - I find it very hard to eat more than one or 2 ozs of protein and a mouthful of veggies! So I have to eat as much as I can in that small window of time - Some days I can get in 700 cal and am up to 1,000 on other days but I am feeling good - only thing is that I have to up my protein intake - I should be eating 75gms but I am normally now in the high 50's to low 60's but I am working on it. I'm still not hungry and could actually go all day without eating except I know that is a no no - strange to be in the position of trying to eat enough calories - Nakita (my lap band) is awesome!
I didn't go to weigh in on Monday since I had to work and this Monday will be a public holiday so I won't be able to weigh until Tuesday, the 26th. Here's hoping that I loose a couple of pounds - I will be happy with one pound a week - only have 38 pounds more to go - I am so thrilled.
Have a great day everyone!

MIA
Hello Ladies
I have not been posting but I have been reading all of your posts - all your posts keep me going !
Now at 178 and size 12 jeans !
A few weeks ago I had my second fill - went from 5 to 5.5cc - I could not eat and could hardly get in any water - and thank heavens for Jessica's advise to take Gavascon for the acid reflux - otherwise I think I would have died - well, I am kinda exaggerating that ... but you know what I mean - I was completely miserable so after 2 weeks I went back to Dr. D and asked him to take out 2 or 3 cc - he agreed and we settled on .25 and I am now feeling so much better at 5.25 ... what a difference .25 makes.
I am now able to drink water and am up to a steady 60 oz of water each day and am still working on getting enough calories in - the doc said I should be at 1,200 cal and 75 gm protein ... am now at 900 to 1,000 and about 60 gms protein ..... its wonderful not to feel hungry though and food does not have a hold on me any more (at least for now) - I can take it or leave it :) Strange !
I need to post a new picture of me ... which I will do as soon as my DD gets back from vacation.
