I love that today I was disappointed that our bike ride was about 15km SHORTER than I was expecting! Pre-band I wouldn't even get on my bike, now I just love going further and further.

Keeping my fat clothes would be like giving myself permission to get fat again. No way! All fat clothes are gone.

The risk with carbonated drinks for bandsters is the potential to stretch your pouch. One off (three drinks) for a colonoscopy should be fine but you could always phone your medical team and check.
Good luck.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what your question is.
From your topic title I thought you were asking when you would get your first fill but from your post I am not sure whether you are asking whether your weight loss is normal, whether it's normal to get 4cc in your first fill or even whether you are stating that you got 4cc in your band during surgery.
There are plenty of very helpful people on this site who can help answer your questions if we know exactly what you are asking.
Good luck.

I hate exercise for the sake of exercise too. The idea of sitting on an exercise bike in the lounge or in a gym is brain dead boring and there's no way I can push myself beyond the comfort level doing that.
But......then I discovered there were activities that I enjoyed and the more I did them the more I enjoyed them and the more exercise I got. I love to go dancing with my husband - there's nothing like 1950s style rock n roll to really get the arms and legs moving and the heart pumping. And the more I dance, the more other guys in our group ask me to dance and the more exercise I get.
I love to go walking with my husband because that's when we have some of our best talks.
I love to go cycling with my husband and friends and we push each other to go further, longer, faster.
And now that I have an underwater MP3 player, I really find swimming to be very relaxing and I am doing longer distances and times.
So, look for activities that you enjoy and make them a normal part of your daily life. The exercise becomes incidental and enjoyable.

Stress and emotion can affect the tightness of my band, so can being sick, e.g. with a head cold.
Good luck.

Noticed I changed my font color,lol. I liked the color I had, but I guess I feel the need for everyone to SEE my great responses. :lol:

I find it very difficult to read posts that are formatted
with pretty pale pink fonts
tiny type
or centred

I also find it difficult to read posts that are written in text talk, with lots of spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
I guess that is what comes of being a formally trained writer who is, gulp, turning 50 this year.

Awesome! Great to see responses in the same light-hearted "you don't have to do it my way" style as I was aiming for in my original post.
Just goes to show that we really can all get along if we just play nicely.
:P :P

i agree very much with wot u just said i love this site and all it has to offer have a great day
So sorry, I couldn't help myself. The light pink text has to be the worst for me

No, the worst is when people use absolutely no punctuation!

The worst for me is when people don't use paragraphs. That usually makes me give up trying to read what they have written.
