Finally-Good restriction

well, it's taken several fills and finally i have good restriction and my weight loss is going well.
For those who are stalled or waiting, keep the faith and don't get discouraged

Yay!!!  So happy for you!!  That's great!!

Love your mini goals.  What a great idea.  It is much easier to digest than looking at every pound at the same time.  I would like for you to join my group All_About_Me_in_NJ  It is a new group and we do not have too many members yet.  I would appreciate an input or ideas you may have for discussion.  Thanks, ME

Glad to hear you are doing so well finally.  I just had the stuck problem.  I lost 80 pounds and was going nownere.  At any other point in my life I woud have given up.  Not this time.  Now I am down another 3 pouunds.  I had my LapBand on 4-30-10.  We were very close in surgery dayes.  Come join my new Group.  All_About_Me_in_NJ  I am just starting and this will be my first month up and running.  Let me know if you have any topics for discussion.  Have a great day and be well.  ME

I got my 4th fill a week and a half ago right before I went on a Cruise in the Caribbean (lost 6 pounds on the Cruise!!)  I am a little concerned that maybe I have too much restriction.  You say you have good restriction - how much can you eat at one time and are there foods that you can't get down?  I am having trouble with dense proteins like grilled chicken. 
Thanks!

Grilled chicken is tough for me too.  You may have to use some kind of "lube" to get it down.  I use bbq sauce or hot wing sauce to get mine down.   I try to use sauces that are 15 calories per tablespoon or less.. and I DO measure.

Or if you like salsa, that would work too.  If you reheat it in the Microwave, try covering it with another dish or a papertowel to keep it from drying out. 

Might try darker meat chicken instead of breast.. the darker meats seem to be moister.

I just finished lunch of 3oz smoked chicken (dh smoked a whole one a week ago and I'm still working on it.. LOL.. thank goodness he's helping me eat it or it would go bad b4 I could fini****), 1/4 cup cauliflower & 1/4 cup chopped tomato and I'm very very full.  I probably should've stopped a few bites earlier.  I'm not so full that I'm going to pb (I don't think ...), but if I crammed anything else down or if I try to drink in the next 20 minutes.. I might.

Good luck.

Ahhhh...GLORIOUS restriction!  lol.  It really is amazing and the weight loss will be noteworthy!
