It has been over a month since I had the fluid removed from my band and I'm struggling. I had an appointment for a fill but I rescheduled. My next appointment is on the 13th.
Even though my band is empty I still have some restriction just not alot. I find myself hungrier more often and I am able to eat more. Finding the balance has been a challenge. I have tempted to eat things that I shouldn't eat and can't eat when I have a fill. It comes down to choices and I'm having a hard time making the right ones.
On a positive note, my weight hasn't changed. I would love to see a loss but I'm happy that I haven't gained. I also just started walking 4 times a week with a friend I went to highschool with. My friend is very motivating and shows up on our walk days. I needed that kind of push. I don't like walking alone and always find an excuse to skip my walk. Now that I have someone who is committed and available to walk with me, it makes it a little easier. I won't lie though, I still have moments where I try to find an excuse not to go but I'm not the kind of person who walks away from a committment that I have made with someone else.
Next Sunday is Easter so I will have to be careful not over do it. My fill is the following day and I will be on liquids the day before. It's probably a good thing though, I won't have to worry about eating too much ham =) I wish you all a Happy Easter. Stay healthy!
