Member Spotlight and Fill Apt today

My gym choose me to be featured in their member spotlight. How cool is that? I am so honored they choose me. And its great motivation to keep at it.

On another note, I go back to the surgeons office today. I am torn at weather to ask for another fill or not. I am hungry and loosing is taking EXTREME focus and concentration on my part right now. But b/c I am more or less focused  I am for the most part still loosing, well not for the last couple weeks. Plus I am only 9 Lbs above my PCP goal for me 15-20 above my goal. AND as I train for my full marathon then start training for an Ultra, I need to be able to hydrate well and eat literally on the run. Right now I am able to eat  protein bar as I run with out having to stop to make sure I can swallow it ( I still don't take stupid huge bites or anything and I eat it over the course of about 2 miles) and I can guzzle a bottle of water or Gatorade in about 3 min when I get back to the car from a run, no sipping here. I feel for my training I am at a good spot but for WL I am struggling to keep focus. I mean when I go and burn 1000 calories I am literally starving and feel the need to eat the side of the house by time I get home. Hubby is trying to make sure dinner is ready when I walk through the door to help with this, but if not it tends to be ugly, decent choices but still ugly.
Maybe I will ask for a small fill like.2- .5 cc.. the last 2 were BIG, 2cc and 2.5cc, and I know I dont want anything that big. Just enough to take the edge off and feel like I have a little more control. That is the point of having the band right?
I am hoping if I explain my feelings to the PA maybe she can help with the dession some. The origial PA I saw several times right after surgury was great and I felt like was listening to me when I talked. This new one, I have not gotten that feeling from but Ive only seen her once so maybe she was just having an off day. We all have those.
