So I bit the bullet and moved up my next fill from 4 weeks to 3 weeks. Now I just have to remember to be a bit more assertive with whomever is giving me that fill! Right now I can only eat about a cup of food at a time, but I get hungry about 2 hours later. Today I had oatmeal with almonds and skim milk for breakfast and I couldn't even eat the full serving. I had that at 7am and by 9am at work it felt like I hadn't eaten a thing! So I had a banana. Guess what? I don't think I like bananas much. Could only eat about half of that before it started tasting "funny"...For lunch I brought left over asparagus risotto and sliced peaches. The risotto really seemed to fill me up yesterday so hopefully it will do the same today!
Hope everyone has a good Monday! Looking forward to watching The Bachelor finale tonight...even though I already know the outcome (thanks Reality Steve).
I so know what you mean--I am so confused about needing a fill right now. A week ago I thought I needed one. Now the way my band had been acting this week I am afraid I would be too tight. Ugh! Hope you can figure yours out.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're getting close, restriction wise. 1 cup filling you up is a good start!
ReplyDeleteHope this next one does the trick for you!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't understand why you'd get more of a fill if you can only eat 1 cup of food already... then I realise it's to make that cup go through slower (still getting to understand all this lol).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your next fill, I hope it's the perfect fit for you :-)
I am scheduled for a fill this Thursday. My last fill was the very end of December. I am a little worried it will be too tight. I am going to go and at least talk to my doctor. Good luck finding the perfect restriction. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI hope your next fill does it for ya! :)
ReplyDeleteMandy,
ReplyDeleteYou look great!!! Your "Two Month In" picture is super!!! Thanks for posting pictures of the food your trying. I may copy you. I'm a lazy dieter and it's always nice to have the guesswork taken out of it. I pass Trader Joes every week so if you ever want me to pick anything up for you to save you a time let me know.
