Ok, I give. I thought I could outsmart the band and let it heal without having to get an unfill... I was wrong. Ouch. My stomach has been hurting for 2 days. I've been puking like crazy, and have some awful acid reflux. To the point that I've been sleeping on the couch again so I can sit up while I sleep. Last night I was laying down and sleeping for a bit and some bile came up and tried to choke me. It made me cough, which woke me up. Then I went to the bathroom and puked. That was not pleasant. The food had already been sitting in my stomach for a few hours and was very acidic. I think it even gave me a sore throat.
I'm gonna see if I can get some taken out, but not all. I don't want to do the full unfill again, ever. I called to see about making an appointment this morning - I left a message. It'll be a few hours before they get back to me. Hopefully they'll have something open on lunch so I can get it done then.
Current weight: 185?

Super Tight
So for the last two weeks my band has been SUPER tight. It may have actually been longer than two weeks, but my sense of time is sometimes distorted. It's almost as tight as it was the time I had to have all the fluid out. I refuse to go back to the the doctor and have him take all my fluid out, so I've been trying to work with the tightness. I know I'm only so tight because a few weeks ago I was eating way too much junk and filling up my little stomach to the point of puking. When I puke it swells and tightens.
The part that really gets me and sets me back is that if there's any loosening at all, I start to get snack attacked, and stuff myself again. In the last couple of days I've been excruciatingly trying to hold back. I'm sticking to liquids as much as possible to give it a chance to heal. It's loosening up already. Unfortunately, as soon I noticed that today, I went after some chips! lol I'm a nut. Luckily I was able to put them out of site about half-way through the bag. So, at least I didn't finish it.
I've decided that I'm going to try to post helpful hints here as well. I've talked to some other people who have the band and aren't losing weight as fast as me, and I realize, maybe they didn't have as much information as I did when they started out. So be on the look out for "Angi's Tips". Heh.

February!
Wow, this year is already speeding by. It feels like the day after New Year's and yet it's actually February 1st! I haven't been working out in the last week cause I've been sick. I had a bad cold. It was no fun. I'm feeling better today though, so I should be able to get into the gym today.
Since my fill my eating has been much better. I am not hungry all the time, which is great. I'm a little too much I think, because I've been close to PB'ing several times, I actually did like twice because I pushed it. One was at Olive Garden. It was just so good, I ate till I PB'd, paused, and ate some more. lol I'm bad, I know.
For the most part I've been good though. The hardest thing I've been dealing with lately has been getting enough liquids and protein. In fact, I'm eating eggs right now to get some of that protein!
So anyway, it hasn't been a good week because I've been sick, but I think being sick must have not been all bad because I lost several pounds this week.
Current weight: 186 lbs.

Feeling Crappy
Found out yesterday that my tubes will be taken out today. Big Plus! Awesome.
On the weight loss front, I'm doing alright considering I'm not working out at all. I'm down to 206, which will either level out or increase tomorrow, because they're putting saline in my boobs to increase them in size, so even if I lose a little weight, it'll balance out the boobs. If not, then according to the scale I will have gained. lol It's ok though, I know the real reason.
Trying really hard to get my liquid in for the last few days, because whenever I eat it's 1-2 hours before I can drink anything without feeling like I'm gonna puke. And this isn't even to the "stuffed" point of eating. It's just to the full point. I think there's a chance I may need some unfill, but it could also be because I ate too much at one point last week and it caused me to puke, which leads to swelling which leads to more puking... bad cycle. I'm trying to go easy on it now, and not even eat to full, and I'm trying to stick with soft foods. For the last two days the main portion of my diet has been cottage cheese. I figure calcium and protein. Good combo.
Well, feeling crappy or not, another pound down and closer to 199, so I'm happy I suppose. :)
Oh, one more thing... I was feeling kinda crappy about my progress because of the surgery I thought I wasn't going to lose any weight this month. Well, I was just looking at my weight on the 8th, compared to today... in 3 weeks I've lost 10 pounds. That's awesome. So really, I can't complain.

Back to Losing!
Good morning! I have had a happy day so far! I weighed in at 221.2 this morning! Finally I'm back on track. I still lost a week of loss, but whatever, I shouldn't have been out drinking and off eating all that crap. That'll teach me, won't it?
Yesterday I still slipped a little foodwise, but I think it's because my band is too tight right now. So it's messing up my eating. I'm not gonna have any taken out yet, because I think it's tight because my stomach is irritated. All that bad food last week, I've really been mistreating my stomach, causing it to swell.
I'm eating better today. I have soup for lunch, and just had some boiled eggs with salt for breakfast. Minus most of the yolk (it's dry). Yesterday wasn't awful, but I should have been on all mushies, or better yet, liquids. I've just been too lazy to make protein shakes. I need to give my stomach time to heal. It's been growling even when I can't eat another bite, and based on all the other blogs I've read, it's a sign that the band is too tight. It's also been causing me lots of pain and I've been puking. I've only ever had 2 PB episodes, but I've been making myself puke because I've been getting stuck alot.
What I ate yesterday (if I remembered it all; I was snacking alot):
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice Pudding
Lunch - 1/2 cup of bite size chicken bites (breaded breast meat) w/bbq sauce
Snack - 1/4 cup of bite size chicken bites w/bbq sauce
Snack - 2 heaping tbsp cottage cheese, 3 bites of Nectarine (of which I had to puke back up some)
Snack - 2 bites of frosted banana bread, 1 bite of red licorice, 1 dorito
Dinner - 1/2 avocado with salt/pepper
Wow, looking at it here it doesn't seem like I ate much. When I was thinking back on it it felt like a LOT. If you add it all up its less than 3 cups of food total. Today will be a little more, because of the soup, but the calories will still be low, because it's soup. lol
Also, I jumped on the elliptical yesterday, and did two sets of 15 sit-ups. It was great. Both are getting easier to do, so I can do more/harder settings. I'm very proud of myself for that. I can't wait till I can consider myself an athlete. I would love to be able to do 50 sit-ups at a time!

Life is Lovely
I had a pretty good day yesterday. I did my walk at lunch. No elliptical, because I forgot my gym bag. I ate ok till I got off work then I started snacking!
Here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - Nothing
Lunch - 1/2 cup (or less?) of pumpkin-turkey chili
Snack #1 - 1/2 cup of pumpkin-turkey chili with 1 tbsp. sour cream
Snack #2 - FiberOne snack bar
Dinner - 3/4 of a small slice of pepperoni pizza *
* of which a bite or two came back out, the rest KILLED me for 45 minutes while it worked it's way down. Oh, it was awful. I should have stopped at a single bite.
So although it felt like I was snacking all day, I guess I didn't really do all that bad. The pizza was a bit much, but with the lack of breakfast, I guess that's where it took me. I would have eaten breakfast, except that I got up late, and breakfast was too close to lunch. So I figured my lunch would be my breakfast.

Reflux
The other day I was eating. I was eating because I was hungry. I had something.... leftovers I think and I was sitting at my computer doing something. I threw up a little in my mouth. It was really gross and didn't want to go back down again.
It burnt my throat and I ended up in the bathroom puking because I couldn't breath with that stuff in my throat. At the very end of the puking I was dry heaving, because there was no more there, except blood. I got a little blood at the end. So gross.
I felt better after that, but I wonder, do I have an ulcer or something? Is that what caused it to have blood in it? Gosh I hope not. And... on top of that, I got these little red freckles under my eyes afterward. They lasted for about 3 days, and are starting to go away now. I think there is only one or two left.
I looked those up on google and found that it was probably broken blood vessels that made it look that way.
Very weird. Anyway, just thought I would share. See if anyone else out there ever has these problems when they eat.
Current weight: 247
