Current Weight: 207.8 lbs.
Total Lost: 26.7 lbs.
Well, it looks like I've settled down to 1-2 lbs. per week. I lost 2.2 lbs. this week. I can really tell that I don't have much restriction, but if I'm losing 2 lbs. per week, I guess I'm doing ok. I definitely feel more "open" since my fill/unfill a few days ago. I haven't PB'd once, although I came close a couple of times. And the other night, I finally felt full, from eating. That hasn't happened in awhile and I had eaten about 3/4-1 cup of food...far more than I should be eating.
I think if I continue ok on the PBs, I'll make an appointment for 2 weeks, and ask for a small fill, like maybe .5cc.
I'm happy with what I've lost, but I really would like to drop a little bit faster, and I think a small fill will do the trick.
Oh, and I want to apologize to the friends and family who visit here for some of the technical aspect of being a lapband patient, but a lot of people visit from a lapband forums and we're sharing information ;)
For those who have asked, here's updated pics, taken on 3/17.

Hey Helen!
I think you are looking great. I was told by my fill doctor that he looks for 1 pound a week. If I dont lose 1 pound a week for more than a couple of weeks I will need to come in for a fill. If you are losing without a fill, I would thank your lucky stars as it means you will have more control later. I am a bit worried because I have already had 4cc, so i only have 6cc till I am full completely, which is not good.
1 pound a week is 52lb in a year!! 2 pound a week is 104 pound!!! If you lost 104lb you would be at your goal!! So 2 pound is great!! Hang in there and big up the positives honey!
This time next year losing just 2 pound a week you will be unrecognisably gorgeous! We all will!!
Love reading your blog, and I might post new photos too.
WOW!! You are looking so good. 2 lbs is a lot, Just imagine that much on the plate every week... By this time in 6 mos. A even bigger WOW from me! congrats.....
Hey hun.. I just got a chance to see this blog, and you look great! You looked great before, but after a few years since I saw you IRL, you are looking fantastic. You will be at your goal in no time. Congrats :)
