First I'd like to say once again ---it is a privilege to read all of your posts ---I get sooo much usable information and joy from your words!
I went in for a fill on Monday because I--and my husband--noticed that I could eat a lot more than I did in Oct, with my last fill. Also, I paid cash for my band so I have until March 15, paid for. The nurse gave me .5cc, bringing me up to a total of 10.1 in an 11cc band. I'm a little tighter--but not that tight! I wonder what happens if I hit 11cc? When I went to register my weight on Realize my success, there was a 'RECALL" of my band posted. WEIRD! SCARY! They say that the defect only happens to 1 in a 1,000---but still!! ;-(
I am the same weight as I was in Oct, 191.8, but at least I made it thru the holidays with no gain. That would be unheard of in the past!! That would be considered a NSV--right?
You all have made me so envious with your new clothes. I feel like I really look different , but, I still wear the same size and clothes ---They just fit me better now! Funny! When I go shopping I think and feel like I should wear all these smaller sizes--but, they don't fit ;-(
I must say I have pretty good self esteem --because I look better in my minds eye than my dress size says.
Is that so bad?

You have great self esteem and that will get you to your goals!!

Definitely, that is a NSV - not gaining and maintaining during the holidays so congrats.
I hope this fill will get you loosing again!
I know what you mean - I feel I should be wearing smaller sizes cause I feel so much smaller which is funny because in my past life, I always felt bigger than my size !!! Maybe that's a N.S.V. - what do you think :)
I will be the one to tell you to buy some new clothes. I think it hit me when my pants were so baggy and I didn't really think I had lost much. What a difference having clothes that fit. And you are down 37 pounds so get ye out of those baggy things. You will notice a big difference. And yes, not gaining during a holiday is definitely an NSV.
I think your actual fill level is not necessarily what they think it is...This whole overfill situation I got into started when the doc pulled out my "supposed to be 7.6 ccs" in 10 cc band and only "found" 5 ccs! Well, thats WRONG, obviously, since I only needed a fill of .05! Some of it evaporates. So don't worry about the number.
Thanks again for your supportive comments!
