TO fill or NOT to fill. . .

[Guest guest]

So help me figure this out, please!

I have scheduled my second fill for next Tuesday in Shelton with Dr. Ogle.

And now I feel more restricted than I have at any time since my first fill. I

did eat a plateful of food at lunch (1/2 cup string beans, lettuce and 1/3#

fish, with some lowfat 1000island dressing, and for dinner, a cup of dressed

salad, an ounce of cheese and a boca burger (no bun). A handful of carrots for

snacks, 4 bottles of propel, and for breakfast an egg, a piece of multi-grain

toast and a half-grapefruit.

So my quantities are low, and the scale seems to be wiggling down again. . .

we'll see how much I can eat over the weekend.

I THINK I should go ahead and do it. Then I wonder, am I wasting $300???

Comments are welcome!

You'll get many more answers on the SmartBandsters or Bandsters

board, since this is primarily a board for events and announcments

only.

The primary deciding factor in deciding whether you need a fill is

your WEIGHT LOSS. If you are eating pretty good band stuff, getting

some exercise, and getting in your water and protein, but are still

not losing 1-2# a week for 3-4 weeks in a row, you usually need a

fill. for more help in deciding, go to the SmartBandsters fils, then

go into FAQ - look for Jessie's articel " How to tell if you ar

Perfectly Adjusted " . Sandy, RN

,

You seem to be doing great. If I were you I would not waste the $300.

Your band seems to be working perfectly. Are you feeling satisfied

with your modest meals? We are supposed to be able to eat a

reasonable amount of food without pain. People use the word

restriction a lot, but I don't feel any restriction at all unless I

have swallowed wrong or eaten too much. My band is still helping me

to feel satisfied with much less food than I have ever eaten. If you

are getting hungry 3 hours after your last meal then you might need a

fill but you should also expect to be hungry if you don't eat enough

food at your meals. Maybe you are not eating enough to satisfy your

true hunger. Good luck!
