So I went in for a fill today. Was not even sure that she would give me a fill, but she ended up giving me .20 since I had .50 taken out the last time. So my first NSV was when the nurse was taking my vitals. She was looking up my BMI and I asked her how close I was to not being "OBESE". She looked at me and said that I was NOT obese. Hehe. liked that one... I have about 4lbs to go until I am officially declared "overweight" So then I saw the surgeon outside the room and thanked him again for doing my surgery!!! He just looked at me and said WOW what are you a 27. Im like huh!!! No im a 14. He just laughed and said he thought my BMI was a 27. The nurse laughed and said no she is a 30 and he said that I looked way smaller than that. He wanted me to go and talk to people at the next seminar that he is having in Septemember. He thinks I will be at my goal within 6-7 months of my surgery. I told him that was my goal too!!!

checking in. no change for me this week.

Did you still need some clothes. I went through my entire closet and need to get rid of them. If you dont need them anymore, I am going to bring them over to goodwill. Can you let me know by Wednesday 8/17. Thanks

Banded 4 months as of today! Im at around 40 lbs, but have been on plateau for over a week or so. But thats still averaging 10 lbs a month. I am still hoping to get to my goal weight by November. If I can keep up with my average, I should be able to make it. How are the other April bansters doing?

My measurements say I am suppose to be an 18/20. But I am fitting into 16 and some 14's. 18's are way to big and fall off me. But according to the measuements of a 14, the shouldnt fit me. Anyone else experiencing this? I was going to order some stuff online, but dont know if I should.

Nope, I jumped on the scale and almost broke it Congrats!!!

You guys are sweet. Yes it would have been worse pre-lapband. Every Friday night is pizza night at my house and I have been so good since being banded with those nights. But it just hit my TOM on the right day and the right mood. It really didnt do to much damage. But I really dont cheat that much, so I am being hard on myself. Tonight I had a scoop of ice cream, but I was still under my calories for the day and I walked an extra round the track to make up for it.

Hope everyone is doing well! Im at 196.8, down about 3 I think.

Its weird losing weight this time. I feel like I am losing alot more inches this time around. The last time I was in a 14, I weighed about 180 or so, but now I am fitting into a 14 and I weigh 197. I wonder why that is...

WOW! My goal is 160 and I hope I look 1/2 as good as you! congrats to you!!!

I just posted the same thing. Mine was the day the tom started. I ate so much, I thought, omg, im going to stretch my band if I dont be careful... Luckly it only lasted a day.

Great job girls. This shopping thing could get addicting!

So I started my TOM yesterday and had an awful day cheating. My first no-no was that I had a bite of my son's donut! Then I did ok for lunch and had a ceaser chicken salad. But then my family ordered pizza for dinner, so I had one peice of pizza and two chicken wings. And to top it off I had about 10 M&M's. Yuck, I felt awful! Luckily it only lasted a day and I was back to myself this morning.

I also gushed to the sales person that I have gone down three sizes in three months and she was like wow, what did you do. I just bursted out that I had lap band. She said wow thats great and said that I need to come back in a few months and show her when I am a 12. Hehe

Whoo Hooo! I also went shopping today because I cleaned out my closet and I have nothing left. There are some great sales going on now. I have been wearing a 16 and they have been getting a little big as well. I went and tried on a 14 and they fit. They are snug, but I can get them on and buttoned and no muffin top LOL. I think that after I wear them for the day they will probably fit good by the end of the day. So I can deal with a little snug for the mornings. hehe I also bought a pair of 12's just cause they were on clearence, so I will have something to shoot for. Thats what I did for the 14's and it worked. Yahhh for us!

I usually have problems with Chicken also. I have to cut it up really really small. But sometimes that doesnt even help. It has gotten a little better since I had an unfill, but It still goes down rough.

Thats funny! Congrats on losing your son (s weight). LOL

wooohooo! Way to go!

mine was about 5 weeks

I've noticed a little also and im a little over 3 months. I had fairly thick hair so I am not to worried yet. If it gets anymore I might start to worry

I would, wish I would have done it sooner.
