I don't know what NSV stands for either.

It is private/locked so others can't see what is posted in the group but others may be able to see you joined the group. When I joined it said, "Rebecca has joined the group Bandsters". I think you can disable notifications like that on your privacy setting but not sure how.

Sure Rosie! I think fb is easier to use than this forum.

I didnt take it that way Tim. You are an inspiration

Marcy, I feel exactly the same way. I would love to have an accountability buddy! I have been discouraged and losing hope...it is a terrible place to be. Do u facebook? If u do friend me, the offer goes to other bansters too Rebeccaelicia@yahoo.com

Hi just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I have hit a wall the last few months...no weight loss and even have gained back about 10lbs. I am totally bummed and worried that I did all of this for nothing. I go to the doc on Monday for a fill, I think I'm at 5cc's now. How are all the rest of you guys doing?

Oh Marcy that is terrible. It was only an accident, don't beat yourself up too much about it. It was not your weight, the same thing could have happened with your 6 year old stepping on it. You are absolutely right about this being a different weight loss journey than you've experienced before. Just remember it took years to put it on...losing it slowly will help to adjust our behaviors and help us deal with the root of the problem. Hang in there. So sorry about Pandie.

I am counting my pre-op diet in my weight loss because I feel like it was part of the journey. If I don't I am pretty much at the same place everyone seems to be which is about 25-30lbs lost. Everything had been going pretty well for the last few weeks and then I must have eaten something that got stuck..I'm really restricted and can only tolerate liquids for the last 5 days I don't want to go to the doc because I will probably have to start from square one again (I only have 3ccs in my band). I don't know if I will ever get used to the inconsistencies--restricted/no restriction...maybe it will even out eventually.

Very cool!

That's funny! I wish I wouldn't have told people at work...they ask "how are you?" ...then look at my stomach which is not intentional on their part but still makes me feel weird!
