So, I was banded on December 21st. Weighing 218 on their scale. When I left my house, I weighed 224, so that's what I actually use. Today, Feb 25th, I weigh 210. Yep. Fail.
I'm in nursing school, and so far this semester has been my busiest one yet. I haven't been able to have a fill, so I'm at zero restriction. I'm starving all the time & eating too much. I'm worried I've caused my band to slip. Obviously, this isn't how I wanted to start this journey. But, it's obvious to me now that I was giving myself way too much credit, thinking I could actually be successful at this.
Right now I'm hoping to be able to get a fill the week of March 19th. 3ish weeks from now. I've eaten well so far today, and I'm going to start taking advantage of the blog world, hoping I can get some help. I'd like to be under 200 before my first fill.
I can't believe I've only lost 8-14 pounds in two months. I'm more than just a little embarrassed. I really need help with portion control advice and also meal advice. How many calories are you eating a day? Per meal? Are you eating any snacks? How did you start working out? I suffer with social anxiety, so working out (or even walking) in public/outside/etc isn't going to happen. Everyday I say I'll get outside of my comfort zone, but I'm just too scared.
I NEED HELP.
