I had been on a foodie-bender so to speak since last week when my stomach opened and I was suddenly able to eat naughty foods. Compared to pre-band days and probably at Christmas time I am being very good but when comparing it to last month I have been very very bad.
I still cannot fathom why I am soo open. Sure I have lost some weight but I am fluctuating around the same 240-243 pounds and not really tightening up just floating around.
I had a little mishap with a hamburger (yep you read it HAMBURGER). I ate 2/3 of one. I enjoyed the hell out of it. About a half-hour later my stomach did a huge reject of the thing and i spend several minutes in a swimming pool bathroom desperately trying to quietly(yeah not easy) expel the bite that I swallowed too quickly in my excitement.
I cannot really eat a large amount of food at any time at least not any more than I could before (still 1/2 a cup) but I can now sit that half a cup out and eat more in between 5-15 minutes. I have tried to eat things that i know will stick longer (things that normally I would just hurl when I am tight). I have had untoasted sandwiches but made them and put half in the fridge before I ate it. The sandwiches seem to last the best. I have had some salad (but very cautiously) and been OK. You already heard about the hamburger.
Tonight I went to the movies again (Harry Potter was excellent!). It has been about 3 weeks since I went to the Greek chick flick movie. When I went to that one I could only eat 1/2 cup of popcorn and my diet coke moved through slowly. Tonight I knocked back a medium diet coke and then chased it with 1/2 a small bag of popcorn.
I am convinced it is time for a fill (how many more posts do you think it will really take!!) but I am scared at the same time that I will tighten up on my own and be in big trouble...or worse yet that something has malfunctioned.....
it is fine... it is fine... you just lost fat around your band... it is fine...I will keep saying this until I talk to the nurse practitioner on Wednesday.
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.

Sounds like your stomach has shrunk a bit and the band is loose - it'll be interesting to see what they say when you go in for a fill.
