Unfill tomorrow...Too tight!

Mar 28, 2010

Wow, never thought that I would actually want LESS restriction before I got to goal weight! Here is what has been going on with me:

I had my last fill appt in July of 2008, I had 1/2 cc removed from my band because I was too tight. Well, I thougt that was my sweet spot, and continued on my weight loss journey, happily losing weight as I went. I thought not being able to eat broccoli, eggs and chicken breast was a fact of band life, and only eating soft foods was the way to go. I constantly have heartburn and have been living off of protein shakes and Cheeto's for the most part, but since I was losing weight, I did ok with that. Now that I have stopped losing weight, I have been looking at my routine a little bit and wondered if I could get another fill to get me going again. So I called the doctor and had a long talk with the nurse and I realized that I have been way too tight for a long time, and to get me going again and into eating properly, I need an UNFILL! makes sense.

current regimen:
I DO exercise
I drink protein
I "PB" if I eat most solids, some soft foods are good though
Cheetos stay down=)

I want to:
continue to exercise
eat veggies
eat fruit
eat chicken
eat omlettes
eat nuts

So, I have an appointment Monday and am SO, SO excited to eat more foods and not be stuck all the time. i still love my band and don't regret doing it. i know I have not always worked with my band like I am supposed to, but against it. I have still lost 124 pounds with the band and have been at a steady weight for about 4 months now, so I certainly have not gained anything back. I am 14 pounds away from my initial goal, although I think I want to lose 20 to be on the "average" side, no longer considered "overweight" if you know what I mean.
People at work have been interesting, definately jealous and express that in the darndest ways. Some of them call me "skinny bitch", and at first I thought it was cute coming from a select few, but then coming from others who I know are gossips and not my friends, not so cute. I get sidelined from other overweight folks who honestly want to know about the surgery. I feel bad for them because for whatever reason it can't happen for them or their MD's won't refer them and they can't afford to just pay for it like I did. I know where they are at and that is so hard.
I will keep you posted on what comes next. Thanks for reading my blah, blah, blahs!!!
