So, it's been 1 1/2 weeks since my last fill and about 3 weeks since I've seen a weight loss on the scale. I'm actually amazed that I don't have a weight loss. I eat about 1/2 of what I use to eat, with no bread, sugars and starches and am walking 30 minutes everyday and I still don't see a change on the scales. This tells me that no matter what I would have done, without the lapband, I most likely would not loose weight.
After my last fill, it was easier to get what is referred to as PB (productive burp) or also referred to as "stuck". This feeling is very painful and feels like you are having a hear attack. I have been able to avoid this problem now for several days. I'm learning the trick is to avoid certain foods, eat small bites and chew, chew, chew.
So, since I'm eating more than my allotted 1/2 to 3/4 cup of food each meal and it only last for about 2-3 hours, I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow for another fill. Hopefully this will be the magic amount. From what I've heard, once you get the right restriction, things work much better. I'm looking forward to this day!
Even with the small amount of weight loss, that I've had I do notice changes. It is easier for me to walk every night, my pants need a belt or they fall down, and I needed new tops in a smaller size.
