Topic: RE: That time of the month (Tom may not want to read :)
Amy,....I should call a friend of mine who has had this done before responding to this. LOL I have no experience on this at all. I would say that maybe the hunger is caused by your harmones and the fact that you had your menstrual cycle. If you feel hunger....grab some carrot sticks or a piece of fruit and eat something healthy. If it is just cravings....I would suggest maybe go for a walk or work out to take your mind off the cravings. If it keeps up you may want to call your doctor to see if what you are going through is normal. Good luck to you.

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." Anon

Crystal,
I have had by band since 2/28/11, so I feel like a newbie still. I am still learning how to live with this new "lifestyle". This site is a great help to me. I hope you will keep coming back.

Topic: My latest fill
Hi everyone. I had a fill yesterday and I gained 2 pounds since last month. I take full responsibilities for it. I KNOW I was eating too much. I just was not getting the full feeling. BUT..I am starting over with some specific goals and I will stick to them. I am filled to 7.2 now, so hopefully , I will notice some restriction. I still need to take in more fluids. I don't know why that is so difficult. Before the surgery I was drinking water all the time. You hardly ever saw me without my water bottle of ice water with lemon slices. I am on liquids thru tomorrow(Wednesday) and the pureed/soft for 2 days, and then back to normal. I like the liquid phase( call me crazy) but I think I know why. What and how much I can "eat" is laid out for me, including the amount. There is no guess work involved.She also said to be braver with my food choices. I guess I am sticking to the safe foods. Well, enough rambling. Hope I made sense. I am glad this site is here. I keeps me accountable. Have a great day!

I agree with purple39lady. You need to contact your doctor, so at the very least, he/she can reassure you that your band has not slipped. We all have set backs. You need to get "back on the horse"..every day is a new day. Don't beat yourself up for what happened today. Go on and get to tomorrow. And don't be ashamed. You have a lot of responsibilities, but you will not be any good to any of them if you don't feel well. Contact your doctor. Good luck. Keep us posted. We care!

I love my band. I believe I may get my first fill on Friday of this week. I am still battling this emotional eating, but I had a friend refer the book that may help with this. I have a wonderful support group and that helps tremendously. I look forward to talking to you more.

Angel, I don't think you should be ashamed. I would definitely contact the doc and see what is going on. It sounds like you have done a wonderful job. Keep the faith and contact your doc. Take care.
Topic: That time of the month (Tom may not want to read :)
Ok, guys. Here's a little background. I had endometrial ablation a little over 2 years ago and was period since then....until last month. I'm thinking it is probably due to the weight loss, but am not sure. Does anyone know about this? In addition, I am having cravings like crazy AND feel like I could, as we say in the south, eat the hind end out of a rag doll (nice visual, huh?). Anyway, has anyone had any similar experiences? Any tips on what to do? Thanks for any advice you can give :)
One day at a time.

Hi Crystal,
I also have no time for the "face to face" meetings, but have found the site to be exactly what I need. Welcome to the board!
