Getting there! Slowly :)

I had another fill last Friday and I may or may not be at my limit. I have had a tummy bug so its hard to tell at this stage. Once again it took him a while to get the fill in and I was concerned I may of got an infection, I went to my GP and he said to see how I go but just thought it was gastro. (not the greatest thing to cop with the band) I jumped on the scales this morning and It showed over 1.5kg loss with in the week. I have prob eaten 1 meal in 2 days. In the past when I had gastro i still would test the limits and as soon as there was a slight chance of feeling better I would eat... only to be feeling ill again.

This time I am not hungry and not bothering thanks to the band...
I was wondering if anyone else out there feels as though they always just feel that little bit "off" like not 100% well? Since the band this is me!! Its not a bad thing because i feel much better now then i did at 132.5kg's but,, for me... there is just a little something that makes me not feel 100%. I dont think its anything to worry about, but there is a plastic thing or what ever its made of thing inside my body thats really not meant to be there! (and neither was the fat) so either way I had to choice.

I love the band though.. I like the new me! I actually get called "cute" and Attractive" and they are words I dont believe fall into my world what so ever thinner or not... but its still nice to hear them!

I hope this tummy bug goes away! soon!

Anyway I was about 94.7kg this morning!! NOW I cant remember being that light the least I remember being was 95kg!!... its a good feeling Cant wait until im 89kg!!! which is only around the corner... Little goals! are always good! and achievable!

I have been really struggling with the thought of having something 'foreign' in my body... and I am really surprised/interested to hear that you feel "off" - strange...

could it be psychological???

Hi Fatgirlslim
(cute name by the way)

No its not Psychological! for me!

Everyone is different! some people can feel it in there and some can not I certainly can....
I have a tube that pops out and you can see it under the skin. I can lay on my belly and know where it is. I can have the fill and feel where the tightness is right away. Thats the way the band has worked for me. Im not sayingits a bad thing, but it is a "foreign object" in your body that is not meant to be there Thats why i know its not psychological so its not a real suprise to me that i feel this way... I wouldnt expect anything less. Like I said everyones different.. this is just me!.I know what you mean about struggling with the whole "foreign object" thing I felt really strange about it as well, but Ive lost over 35 kg and I dont think the fat was meant to be there either. It was life or death for me I had just given up and accepted that I was fat and I would die this way. So it was either live with the foreign object or accept my fate... I choose the band. Good luck with it all if you have any questions feel free to ask I will do my best as to what i have learnt so far
