Nice and Tight

I got my adjustment on Thursday morning. Nothing unusual there. I went in to the exam room, Dr. K asked about my ability to eat, the frequency of my hunger and its intensity. He decided I needed an adjustment (which I already knew). After that he got the necessary equipment, leaned back the exam table and before I knew it I was nice and tight.

I love the feeling of having a tight adjustment. I never eat or drink before I have an adjustment. I am too nervous even though I know it isn't a big deal at all. But still I just feel uncomfortable with the thought of consuming anything before I go in. When I go in I am given a small amount of water to gauge the tightness of the band. After that I am so full I don't eat or drink anything for most of the day. Like on Thursday I had the water at the doctors office, then I had another sip of water a couple of hours later. Then a two sips of slim fast around dinner time. And finished off my day with a couple peanuts and some apple sauce.

That was all I ate for the entire day. Today I had 1/2 an egg over about an hour period. Then I had a tall coffee from Starbucks, a couple bites of soup and some water throughout the day. All in all less than 1000 calories I would guess. That's what I need. The forced portion control that a good fill gives me is my ticket to losing weight. I've known it since I started this journey with my lap band. I just need to keep pushing until I achieve my weight-loss goals and after that just maintain my healthy weight. The band is my key to this success. I couldn't do it without it.
