fill + food = ouch.

I'm back from a two week hiatus (to South Carolina and Minnesota). In MN, I went for a visit to the doctor. I swear, I'm soooo sensitive to fills it's ridiculous. In Feb I got an unfill because I could barely eat. It's hard for me because I live 10 hrs away from my doctor.. So, she took out 1 cc in Feb and I could eat pretty okay for the first time in forever. (Bring on the bread! ... yeah, it wasn't good). Somewhere in that time period (from Feb - May) I started getting tight again when I ate. I'm not sure why.. I didn't get another fill. I didn't do anything differently. Maybe it was stress, who knows. I started to get tight but I did not start getting FULL. I wanted to eat all the time. So.. I went home for a visit last week and stopped at the doctors. She decided to put in half of what she took out.. thinking that was a nice compromise. Holy tightness. I can't eat ANYTHING. Forget about eating in the morning.. I can barely keep a shake down. It gets a little better in the afternoon. I'm not sure what to do about this.

On the plus side, I'm seeing the scale move a bit. I'm back down to where I was in Feb (I had a total gain of 5 lbs from Feb- May, which isn't all that bad... considering). It's going to be a struggle to get in the proper nutrients if I keep having troubles like this. I've never really had an easy time eating with the band at any stage.. it's always been really, really hard. But I wouldn't change it. It's done amazing thing.

End goal: lose 40 more lbs.
Ideal goal: lose 50.
