Hi Guys.I'm now almost 6 months out.. and down 125! I have new comparison pictures & the changes really are starting to show!
My losses have slowed down quite a bit, so I think it's time to get my first fill. I'm a little nervous about it, partially because I'm a big needle wuss & partially because I've really enjoyed not having food issues. I do know that the biggest reason for the slow down is that I haven't been exercising like I was earlier on. I kind of wish I had another month without a fill to see if I can get the scale moving with more exercise alone. Oh well.. it's kind of silly to not use my band to it's potential to help along the way. *shrug* It's funny that I recognized over the holidays that my old ways aren't buried that deep. When we were snowed in for almost 2 weeks, I had to be super cafeful not to snack & nibble while being bored... something I used to struggle with A LOT. But, even though I recognized that I'd gotten out of my routine of "doing something" (walking, swimming, dancing) everyday, I didn't get right back on it. Now, it's been almost a month of going back to not moving much, and I can totally tell! My energy isn't as high, my losses have slowed down. (went from losing 15 a month to barely 5.. DUH!) Well, I'm commiting here that I am going to change this. Today!
Next week on Monday is the day that I'm checking in my surgeon.. I'll talk to him about how everything is going & let him decide what he thinks that I should do.
Thanks again for letting me process where I'm at today & for letting me share my journey.
*hugs*
