Sending good weight loss vibes your way!

I have YET to experience the kind of tightness that you and so many others describe. At this point I don't know wether that's good or bad.Cindylewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540643788281963704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-81823223847435580912010-08-23T12:31:15.394-07:002010-08-23T12:31:15.394-07:00I never have trouble with liquids but I have the s...I never have trouble with liquids but I have the same thing going on. I have been debating a fill for 2 months now because I am soooo worried that on a tight day/meal I won't be able to eat at all. I have random times of the day that I can't eat without pain and sometimes I can eat an entire buffet with no problem. It's crazy! My band is half-assin it! hahaJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011244467777606525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-74835007999521955512010-08-23T10:03:31.261-07:002010-08-23T10:03:31.261-07:00Oh, to have just a bit of the restriction that you...Oh, to have just a bit of the restriction that you describe! I don't understand it either why we go from tighter than tight to can eat a horse! I am in the "I can eat a horse" category since my 1 cc unfill 2 weeks ago. I am now back to the amount of fill I had after fill # 1 which did zippo for me in the restriction dept.! I am going to see doc on Wed and will be begging him to give me at least .5 cc's. I should be ok with that as that would be where I was at my 2nd fill. We'll see. <br /><br />I should have stayed with fill # 2 because it was similar to what you are describing. I was tight, than loose. I had fill #3 and that pushed me over the edge until I couldn't even get liquids down. Good luck with your decision on whether or not to get the fill. If you get one, just get a smidge. That is my advice.Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612121609893900847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385530608969677101.post-67491369819492484412010-08-23T08:19:42.438-07:002010-08-23T08:19:42.438-07:00Hi Tessie!

I say that our bands have multiple personalities, and since we can't change that, we just have to roll with it. I always find that I am tighter in the morning, so I make my evening meal the bigger one. A tight band can be a love/hate relationship. When I really love it is when I realize I am making subconscious decisions to have much smaller portions because I don't wanna deal with PBing. But then again, when the fragrance of pizza wafts into my nose, I want the whole damn thing - and end up scraping off the toppings and having to be satisfied. Our bands are just pure bitches (or are they our best friends?)!!! LOL!momma2fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705252569652127849noreply@blogger.com
