I have been really busy at work and have not taken the time to update anyone who looks at this. Since my last post I have had some restriction and then lately-lost it pretty much completely.
I am down another 6 pounds. I was down 4 more pounds but in the last couple of weeks I have regained it. I called for a fill appointment and will go in either on Monday or Tuesday.
Interestingly this change in restriction came after I caught a stomach bug. It swept through the house and everyone vomited repeatedly. With my band (or super-human anti barf willpower) I only heaved once-The band blocked the vomit and I waited it out while my daughter was barfing her life away. the next day My stomach bug moved to an intestinal bug-if you know what I mean. After I was al done I lost 10 pounds. I know some of this was water but It really sucked to regain 4 of it slowly of the next two weeks.
So I went through all of the possible reasons that I lost restriction like that and here is my top ten list of ideas:
1. I lost fat around my band and it opened up
2. I learned how to chew better and the stuff is now soft food running through the band quicker
3. Some calamity occurred and I lost the fluid in my band
In any of the above cases I need a new fill so on Monday or Tuesday (the doctor is not sure when he can fit me in yet) I will go get one.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.
