Realized the other day that I haven't updated in forever on this so... here goes. I had my second fill the day after we got back from Disney, so on June 24th. It looks like, maybe, I've found my sweet spot! Really feel the restriction now when I eat. The amount I can eat has gone down and I am finding things that flat out won't work anymore. Like bread. Ain't gonna happen. If I eat bread or anything bread like (i.e. cake) it feels like I swallowed a rock and I want to die lol. Have you ever taken a drink and swallowed an air bubble? Feels like that only worse. It'll go away after a bit when things settle or the food that has gotten stuck finally goes down but it certainly makes you not want to eat anything else. Most meats seem to be ok. Haven't tried steak yet but ground beef is good, turkey, ham, chicken (so long as it's juicy). Pastas are the easiest and most veggies and fruit have been good. I can do tortillas oddly enough and so far have had no probs with Mexican food in general. Rice is iffy. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not. Chicken salad is good an most days I end up eating those little premade chicken salad and cracker packs you get at the stores. That is more than enough to satisfy me. I have now officially lost 40 pounds and am down to a size 18 jeans! I feel great! We've also gotten my blood thinner medication leveled out so only have to go once a month now for that. Should be off that in October, thank God! Between the weight loss and the hair cut I'm being told I look so much thinner and younger and it's a fantastic feeling! ( Newest pic of me here! )
