Backsliding

Jan 04, 2010

i had to unfill my lapband  to 4.8ccs a few weeks ago--vomiting too much.  After dropping another five pounds or so, I put it right back on, so I'm around where i was when last I visited the doctor.  Ick. 

I know there's a problem. It's called eating too much and not exercising enough.  But gosh, where's that silver bullet when you need it?

I had best get some more restriction, before I gain more weight.  Problem is, I'm really enjoying the lack of restriction--this feels more "right" than when the band is tighter.  On the other hand, I don't seem to fill up. But frankly, I didn't when the band was tighter, either.  I'd either have three bites and feel like throwing up-- or I'd eat incredibly slowly and in tiny bites and never fill up (as with liquids, for example).  I guess the trick with the band tighter is to chew enough, and eat slowly enough,  not to choke, but not to eat in such tiny, well-chewed bits that they go down like liquid. 

Easier said than done. 

I need a fill.
