This is my journal towards weight loss. This is where I can come and put everything out there. I have kept my decision to myself. The only person besides my doctor that know is my husband. (I finally told my best friend too!) My kids know I had surgery, but not what kind. They are in jr. high so they are too preoccupied to ask what kind of surgery although they have been treating me great!
I've had goals, met them and made new ones. This is finally becoming a lifestyle for me. It has taken about 3 months for that to happen. I know that I can fall off the wagon if I'm not careful. Luckily the band helps me be careful.
My life is quickly becoming "Band-tastic".

)Soft Calorie Syndrome

After almost a year being banded.....
Okay, so I have addmitted to myself that I am too tight. I have fallen into soft calorie syndrome. It sucks. I hope I can get a tiny unfil on Monday. My weight loss has been so-so and eating is too hard. I have fallen to soft foods, especially ice cream. BAD BAD BAD!!!!!
Kind of depressing, but I want to get the unfill before I have to worry about a slip or erosion.

It looks like my appt. isn't until a week from tomorrow. I am worried about being too loose, but I believe my doc will just take out .1cc
That should help enough.Posted 10-08-2009 at 12:19 PM by julie.ann -
Wow Julieann I don't know what too tight feel like. I just blog about hoping I get to my sweet spot soon. I hear how so many people get full so quick and I can still eat. But there is a different in my eatting habits. I do eat less than I did before I was banded. It's not a big diffferent like I hear other people stories.
I hope the unfill works for u. Keep me inform.Posted 10-08-2009 at 01:07 PM by sarahp626 - I just gotten a fill Monday and I ate a slice of Pizza Hut pizza with no problem. lolPosted 10-08-2009 at 01:07 PM by sarahp626

Great job!!! Seriously, I think it's great and smart that you know your too tight and you're doing something about it! As you know so many here avoid unfills and end up with much worse problems. Good for you for adjusting this now! Like you said...a tiny bit may be all you need to make all the difference! Hang in there this week and stay on sliders so you don't end up with PB's. Good luck! -BGPosted 10-08-2009 at 09:39 PM by Band_Groupie - Thanks guys. I know it doesn't make any sense, but I almost feel like I have fail somehow and gotten too tight. I know that sounds crazy. I guess I always looked so forward to fills that to unfill, even a tiny bit seems WRONG! Oh, and the pizza thing....there is NO WAY I could do something like that.
I have realized that maybe part of my problem is that I am eating too much. I keep eating and then feel stuck, but I may just be over full. Instead of my hamburger patty and cottage cheese I had only 1/2 a patty and cottage cheese and I ate that over 20 minutes and I felt good, but if I would have kept going then I would have been TOO FULL and needed to PB. I'll watch that closely this next week. It would be nice if that was my entire problem, but I don't think so.Posted 10-08-2009 at 10:18 PM by julie.ann
