10 in 30
E, as a bandster you should shoot more for 8 in 30, but if you manage 10 WHOOT for you!!! Are you drinking with your meals? If you are, STOP that habit now. And I just re-read your post that you had a first fill 2 months post-op and nothing since...GIRL, go get a fill right after vacation! If we don't stay on top of our fills we will not lose effectively and can possibly GAIN. So keep on top of this. Ask Tia how my husband has done by NOT keeping on top of his fills! (grumble, grumble, some men can be SO hard headed!!!)
NO, don't drink with meals or for about 30 minutes after. Got out of the habit of writing everything down - again, will do that after vacation! I'm a good bandster - not great, but good....
Peace

Thanks, it's an older one, but I just got tired of seeing a grumpy looking avatar for me. I need to do another one smiling (someone else needs to take it) that is more current. What you can do in the meantime before seeing Dr. Singh for a fill is drink COLD liquids right before eating. It will naturally tighten your band (cold constricts the band and hot softens it). So for people not tight enough can do this before eating and others who tend to be tighter can drink the hot liquids before eating. Good job on the not drinking! It's a hard habit to break. Does Dr. Singh do fills under fluoro? Dr. Schweitzer doesn't. It's just been a long time for you to not have gotten a second fill, but the great thing with the band is that it's in there and we can have adjustments years after surgery!!! It's the miracle of the band I love being pregnant, but I honestly can't wait for December to deliver so that I can get a fill and back to losing LOL Good luck and have a great vacation!
