For a good read, head on over to Band Groupies blog for an awesome post on getting the most from your LB. I needed this kick in the ass from her today... http://bandgroupiethesweetspot.blogspot.com/2010/11/111910-its-not-just-tool.html.
I just got off the phone with my doc's office and scheduled a fill for Monday. I soooooo was not recognizing that I needed a fill. I realize now I was getting into a diet mentality. I was not letting my band tell me I was satisfied. Duh! I hit such a brick wall this month and I was getting into bad thoughts about that dirty "D" word...dieting. I am not on a diet!
I also forgot how to eat as a lap bander--protein first so you feel satisfied and not hungry. I need my sweet spot! Stop using your brain so much and use the tool that the surgeon placed inside ALONG with your brain--together they are a powerful force! Thanks Band Groupie, you are wise beyond your years!
Sounds like a fill is just what you need! Hope it helps.
ReplyDeleteYay! Go get that fill girl, it's so cool when we learn more about how to listen to our bands. I keep learning more about mine all the time too. :)
ReplyDeleteCame to catch up...thanks for the shout out...I credit Diane for reminding me too how easy it should be! I didn't get the Band to diet and neither did you...I call it the 'anti-diet' plan LOL. I'm cheering you on for the fill...suggestion; while you're there ask the Doc for something for the reflux (I was taking a PPI), in case. Diane's reflux is back, mine is totally gone...telling, right? I think it may just be a trade off for some of us...I've decided I'll gladly take Nexium the rest of my life if it means living in the zone! Oh, and LOVE the new face pics...I always thought I kept my oval...umm, I was a pumpkin face! D*mn BDD! ((hugs)) -BG
ReplyDeleteWhoops, skip the reflux comment...that one was for someone else (I have oldtimers) as I don't think you had it. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteJust jumping in...Well BG encouraged me to get a fill after a ten month 'plateau'...its EASY again and I have lost ten pounds in the month since. Then I guess I encouraged her to get a fill and she did the same for you! We all need each other for these reality checks...no one who isnt banded can get it! Good luck!
