Discouraged

Last week I went for my 2nd fill. When I got there and weighed in they showed I had lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks. Dr. Floch said that was great, but honestly I still think they had my weight incorrect at the visit 2 weeks prior, but I wasn't going to argue. I told him how I sometimes struggle to get enough protein and calories, but am getting better at making sure I get enough of everything in and have gone back to protein shakes when needed. He decided that since I was doing so well that we wouldn't do a fill. I was okay with that decision, but at the same time a little disappointed. I want to succeed, and do feel that sometimes I still eat too much. He said he wanted to see me back in 3-4 weeks and if we need to we will do a fill then. As it turns out, I couldn't get an appointment until December 1st. I figured that would be fine, but now after this past week I am starting to worry that it's going to be too far away. I can eat alot. I'm getting hungry at night. I try to eat snacks that are good for me like the Edamame, or pop corn, but potato chips go down pretty easy unfortunately. I did terrible this week with exercize. I just couldn't seem to find the motivation to get on that treadmill, or walk, or just well, anything. Granted I did have a migraine Tuesday and most of Wednesday and ended up staying home from work Wednesday, but I need to move daily. I just feel like such a slug. I weighed in on Friday and it showed I lost a pound, but stupid me jumped on the scale again on Saturday and it was back up one. So I don't know whether to count it or not. I hate the scale and the pull it has over me. I need to hide it.
Tonight I made a pork roast, redskin roasted potoates and steamed broccoli. I was able to eat 2 pieces of pork, about 3/4 cup of broccoli and 1/2 cup of potatoes. Then I ate a few more potatoes as I cleaned up. This is too much, I know it is, I'm only supposed to be able to eat about a cup of food TOTAL. I didn't feel any restriction at all from the band. Soo.. I think I will call and see if I can get into the doctor to get a fill. I've only lost a pound in the last 2 weeks. Total weight loss is 22 lbs. I know.. better than nothing, better than gaining, but I wish I was feeling more successful.

well, you are keeping track of what you eat and that is important. It sounds to me that you could use a fill too.

i find getting on the treadmill is hard for me too, so i get my ipod set with some of my favorite songs and it gets me more motivated. hope this helps

Sounds to me like you are doing great...maybe you are expecting too much too soon. Remember the weight didn't jump onto your body over night.
