So I am tempted to name my band because boy is it fickle. Saturday I woke up tighter than a nun on valentines day! I couldn't eat and could barely get my shakes down...I may have consumed only 500 calories...I was a little scared that I may need an unfill and all day I was trying to figure out why. I get the depo shot so I have really no idea when my period is...it used to be the beginning of the month so I am thinking that is what it may be. Sunday woke up and I had no problem, was able to have coffee and shake in am and small lunch and dinner...today I am pretty tight again. I had a hard time with coffee and shake this morning. You would think the weight would be dropping but i have been hanging steady since last wednesday and its not like I am eating much. I was thinking it may be protein I was averaging around 60g so I am now trying for 80g and I broke down and got the premier shakes at costco(I prefer to make them myself)..all my wls friends say they are the best and I need shakes on the go when I don't have time to make them
I did get a cute lunch box...almost got a bento box but I need to order it because I am having a hard time finding them at the stores. I got this cute one at bed bath and beyond. It seems big here but its not, there is enough room for my icepack and 2 premier shakes a few crackers and hummus. (I store at my desk...hate the community fridge it just stinks)
and here is my view from my desk...I am afraid of heights...In fact I don't look down ---out window often
I seem to be eating around 800-1000 calories a day on non tight days...can't really eat much more than that. We will see when I weigh in tomorrow and Wednesday...those seem to be the days I weigh the least. I am really needing to evaluate my diet because I have read in others blogs that 1200 calories is the weight loss goal but I am not sure I can get there!

Wow, I haven't had that wonky 'why am I so tight today?' experience yet - but hey, if you get to pack those awesome shakes in such a cute bag, then it'll all turn out okay, right?
Keep up the good work - and the good attitude!
OMG - I didn't think I was afraid of heights but that pic even scares me. LOL
I love your view - My view of a parking lot with the smokers standing outside the window is not great :-(
Love the bag...I can't get those shakes here in Canada so I'll have to look when Im in Boston next month. Im getting an unfill tomorrow - if you're not pb'ing then try and stick with it - Im super scared to be so tight cause Ive been pb'ing alot so off for a tiny unfill. You're doing great and I find that stress makes me super tight and I can't usually eat anything until 11:00am. ps. we'll try & stay on a lowish floor at BOOBs or I'll take the bed beside the window if were high up. :)
My band is fickle too... Some days I can't even get my Greek yogurt down, and other days I could eat a whole chicken without chewing.
At least you've got a view. ;)
As for fickleness...common complaint amongst bandsters. Mine varies in tightness too but never so much that I can't eat. I've heard heat can play a role and humidity levels can even play a role. Hope you figure it out. :)
Do you like those shakes? Three years out from my surgery and I'm still trying to find one I like enough to have one every day. Love the lunch bag!
