Going back to liquids for a couple of days has helped tremendously! I haven't tried solid food, yet, but I'm getting in plenty of water & am able to take my medications w/o any problems. I am sticking to SlimFast for breakfast (and usually lunch) and mushies for dinner. I have rediscovered my old post-surgery favorite of refried beans topped with shredded cheddar, salsa & a dollop of sour cream! I have found that I am satisfied with this type of eating and I AM NOT HUNGRY!!!!!
I came home from vacation with a monster cold. Not sure if my lack of appetite is from being sick or from finally having a good fill level. Either way, I'll take it!
So, I think I have successfully babied my band and avoided what I was certain would be another un-fill. Here's a recap of where I am right now:
- I can drink water & take medications easily
- I am satisfied with my level of [non]hunger
- The weight seems to be dropping off again (I am very close to a new low)
NSV alert! NSV alert!
#1: I bought a size 16 bathing suit and wore it (in public) on our recent trip to Neptune Beach. This is the first time I've been in a bathing suit in over 4 years!
#2: When my husband saw me in it for the first time, his eyes lit up and he said "you look cute."
#3: I felt good in the bathing suit.
#4: Later that trip, Hubs suggested that maybe I should have bought a smaller size!

Good NSV's. I always get tighter when I have a cold so take that into consideration. Glad things are going OK with mushies.
Fabulous NSV!! Probably the best kinds are when my husband comments! Emailing you soon!
@Amanda: like yours, my husband doesn't comment on my looks very often. So, having him tell me I look cute is always a plus. Him saying it while I'm wearing a bathing suit?--well, I just can't think of anything better than that.
Wonderful NSV's!
Glad things are better with your band. Great NSVs!!
