Lapband Fill #4

I haven't said much about this fill mainly because it's hard.

Right now, when I drink liquids I can feel them pooling at the base of my throat.  Not for long but it's an interesting feeling.

I can't eat much protein at one sitting.

In fact, I have trouble eating a small slice of cake (some of that random food in the teacher's lounge, though since some showed up spiked with marijuana we're a bit more careful — not our school and the prankster served some time).

I got "stuck" almost every day the first week, but that's happened with all the other fills.

I definately can't eat the volume of what I used to eat.  I've caught myself fooling the band, and I'm trying to break that happen.

For example, about the only thing I can do in the mornings is warm liquid, plus I miss my diet coke caffeine and am not a regular coffee drinker so I've been doing McCafe Mochas.  I'm trying to switch to Cappacinos or Lattes as they are lower calorie.

The other problem I'm having is that I have adjusted to my weight.  Meaning that first feeling of being lighter is gone, and I'm back to filling like I'm lugging around two people (well, I am).  So I'm tired a lot.

We also had a lot of rainy weather and now it's cold so my arthretis is bothering me.  I'm working hard now on exercising again, and using my Zune HD to help.
