Houston, We have Restriction

Jun 23, 2009

 I had surgery back in January.....it has been some of the most frustrating 3 months in weight loss for me. I ask for a fill they give me a little one. I ask for a bigger one, they say no...is important to go slow. Well how frickin slow do ya want me to go? For the past 4 months I have gained and lost the same 5 pounds. NO JOKE! Lose five the week of the fill......put em back on the week after.....so I run out of free fills. I used up 6 fills with no restriction. I know I should not be complaining about the money....but when I asked for them to be aggressive in fills they would not. It has taken me 7 fills and 7cc to get to my sweet spot but I am finally there. I feel full, eat about a half cup to a cup of food.....protein first ....etc. etc. I am so thankful for the bandster support group on Yahoo....every time I told them what was going on.....and asked do I need a fill.....they never hemmed and hawed....are you eatng your protein...are you drinking your water....the answer always was....go get a fill. Thank you!!! If I could eat right I would not have had the surgery. If I could control my portions I wouldn't be on this board. I have come to the assumption now that I have good restriction....that if you have to ask that question.....do I need a fill....then most likely....you need a fill. The rules are great and they are there to help us keep on track. But it is the band that makes the rules work, not the rules that make the band work. If we were able to follow the rules....we would not need the band.  I know that every person going through bandster hell wonders that....or at least I did. So....if you are wondering.... do I need a fill....the answer: GO GET A FILL!!!
