12 Week Update

I haven't posted in a while. Not too much to say. My weight today was 246.0. I am supposed to go for a fill on a couple weeks but I am considering cancelling my appointment. I get full on a small amount of food (3/4 - 1 cup of food) and I stay full for several hours. My doctor had told me that was the criteria for knowing if I am restricted enough. I am not really having problems with any particular foods although I do shy away from breads. True confessions - I need to exercise more. But between homeschooling, working, chasing after the baby, keeping the house reasonably picked-up, and putting food on the table exercise seems to fall by the way-side. Oh well, I'll keep trying.

God bless!

10 Weeks Post-op Update

Howdy! I finally got to see the 240's!!! Things are about the same around here. I still am getting full pretty quickly and stay that way for several hours. The only problem is that I seem to go from "full and not even thinking about food" to "starving and got to have something right now" in a heartbeat. I try and keep some items handy for those times. Still eating lots of roast beef roll-ups (see previous post). I haven't had any episodes of PBing (productive burping) that I have heard about from other bandsters. I have had an uncomfortable feeling after eating certain foods (usually foods I shouldn't have been eating anyway). I also have noticed that I get that uncomfortable feeling sometimes when I eat popscicles to fast (duh! what was I thinking!). It's like having brain-freeze in your chest/stomach/esophogus. I hope you can use some of the info I have shared.

God bless!
