How did your fill go today cheryl? did you get more than before??

Hi Lynzie,
No I didn't get more then before, I got another cc tho.  at this stage I wouldn't want more, I'm affraid it would give me too much and I dont' want to start throwing up and damage my  band or hurt myself.  I know its been a long wait for me, but I know in the back of my mind it is for the best.  Dr talked to me and made me feel much better, explainned how getting fills too fast and over filling would hurt me.  I dont' want to hurt my stomach, that is why I went with the band.  How are you doing?  looks like your eating much better.  you getting enough protein in?  Protein and water, most important.  Keep up the great work.   Hugs, Cheryl

Thats good. Its nice to be reassured things will be ok. I wouldnt want to get too much of a fill and damage anything. I noticed since I'm eating actual food again, that my losing stopped and I wont get a fill until Oct 8th. So we'll see how I do between now and then!!
I'm doing my best to get all the protein needed and water, some days are better than others. I'm just having a hard time finding different things to eat. Still in the mushy stage, which I am getting tired of lol Ive already had regular foods like steak and chicken (very small bites and way beyond chewed) and things were fine. so who knows....
Good luck I hope that fill has filled you up haha and the band starts to work for you the way it should.

Dori, I notice you have a routine of what you eat, do you always do it the same way?  I try doing that, but I find I have to be in the mood for foods, like if I eat beef, I don't want to eat it for a few days, same with Chicken, or even drink.  When I eat a meal with pot and veg, I have to take a bite of each.  My little man, eats all one thing,  then all the next and moves on like that.  I just think that we are all so different.  Just curious if everyone eats the same things all the time....

Cheryl,

Monday through Friday when I work I'm on a routine.
I try to eat at the same times for those 5 days, then I let myself "off" for the weekend.
I usually skip breakfast on the weekends because I like to sleep in.
I eat pretty much what I want (except sugar because it makes me sick) on the weekends but still try to get all my water in cuz I feel yucky if I don't drink enough and I take all my vitamins even if it's later than during the week. This may not work for everyone, but it works for me and I've been doing it for about a year now. I had my 2 yr check up last month and I've lost 1 pound this year which is considered by my nut. as maintaining.

As for eating the same thing, I like variety too, but sometimes it's hard when you bring your lunch to work, I eat such a small amount when I buy something I sometimes have to take it to work 2 or 3 days to eat it all up and not go to waste. My youngest daughter and my son both eat like your little man does, they both eat one thing at a time. I like to take a bite of each thing like you do.

I enjoy reading this thread, it gives me ideas of things to buy and eat. Sometimes I get into a "rut" and don't know what I want.
