Fills & such

DH & I had our 3 month check up yesterday.  We met with the Nutritionist (NUT) first.  The NUT couldn't get over how well we've done so far.  She said she really had nothing to critique about our progress.  She told me that I should eat between 1000 - 1200 calories per day until I reach goal.  She discussed that 1 cup - 1 1/2 cups of food per meal is ideal.  We discussed my goal weight of 150. She said she thinks that is a really good goal and that any smaller & I would look too thin - TOO THIN -she said - Whaaaa??.  She told me to start exercising because the weight loss WILL slow down - urrggg!  The NUT told DH to eat between 1200-1400 calories per day until goal & that he could even eat a bit more if he is exercising vigorously.  She said his goal weight of 165 is ok, but he may find he is too thin at that weight TOO THIN - I tell ya!!!!!!  The NUT calculated our % of excess weight loss so far.  Mine is 44% & DH's is 60%.  The NUT said the average band patient loses 50% of excess weight in a year - so we are really doing well!

On to Dr. Ceppa.  He called us his poster patients again & said he wants us to speak at a support group some time.  DH received a 4cc fill - this was his first & he really needed it.  He was eating upwards of 1600 calories this week & last.  This scared the sh*t out of him - he felt out of control.  I had another 2 cc's put in my band - I am up to 9cc's in an 11cc Realize band.  Dr. Ceppa said he can over fill the band if I need it.  He said women take more fills than men because of the fat around a man's stomach.  I just keep my fingers crossed that I get some good restriction now.

Today is my goal for Onederland - I did not make it.  I don't think the scale budged for me this week.

That's about it - Happy Friday & thanks to all of my awesome followers for your support - it means so much!
