Feeling great!

Good Morning to ALL! Long time since I have been on, however I have been following all comments! I am so proud of each of you! I am doing well too: down 51 lbs and only 21 more lbs to go to get me to my goal of 175 - I am in a size 14-16 which is awesome compared to where I was at a 20-22! I encourage each of you to use yur new found health to become active in Kingdom Building activites! until next time!

Long Time, since I have been on, I pray that everyone is doing well. I think that I am in my green zone... I am at a point where I feel like I do no need another fill - write me.

Hello everyone! It has been a while! I lost 4 lbs since last weight in but will not allow that to get me down - remember drink 8 glasses of water, NO juices, potatoes, rice, bread or friend foods - and try to excercise some if possible - advice from the woman who did all of that last week before my fill yesterday! So I am telling each of you in oder that you do not make the same mistakes I did since it impacts our weight lost! When and if you feel like the COOKIE MONSTER like ...

Long time - so for the last 2 weeks I felt like I hit a plateau... I lost only 4 lbs since last weight in but I know that I did not eat as well as I should have - I incorporated juices which I should not have, went on vacation with my parents last week and indeed felt VERY hungry my last week before my fill which was yesterday; (6.4cc now) any way, I did horrible, ate mash potatoes, and well- you get the picture.... All and all I only lost 4 lbs between now and last fill so I felt really guilty for my own errs - this month I plan on stepping it up! I would like to at least lose 2 lbs a week instead of 1 so I must work with my band

Hello out there - How's every one doing? I am ok - had 2nd fill - only lost 5 lbs between that and 1st fill based on their scale but not discouraged. instead I am stepping it up on the excercise some.

How are you doing? It has been a while since I have been on but I wanted to check on you.

You are doing GREAT! Keep up work!

Good Morning to ALL! I know it has been a while -work has been so hectic since we are getting close to year end, plus I had a funeral to attend. I can say all and all things have been going well for me. The funeral... it was good since it was a "see ya later", verses a "good bye" for those of you who know what I mean ! work- is just work I am thankful to have a job that I truly enjoy. So talk to me, how are things going for each of you? today I am down 26lbs 221...

Good Morning! I pray all of you are doing well! I have had to change my process a little to ensure 2 lbs a week weight loss- I sometims have to go back to replacing 2 meals with shakes 2 x's a week which seems to work. have any of you experienced this?

Good Morning! I pray that everyone is doing well! This are doing well for me, I think that I am on a routine now with excercising 3x's a week for 30 min each time on treadmill - now I might seek to add another day to that routine

1st Fill complete! I am back to not being hungry again Thank you Lord! So they un-drained my port and to my surprise I had 3.4 in there from surgery by Dr. Reilly so they increased me to 4.4. - they gave be a book, and explained again my 3 sq meals a day - mainly I must ensure that I am not eating no more than 4oz (which is about 1/2 cup) at each meal. So I am learning that when band is tight this is indeed no problem since at most I can eat maybe 5 spoons of food before feeling fu...

Just checking in on you and wanted to say Hi

Good Morning to All! Today is the day that I get my first fill, and indeed I am ready. I pray that all of you are doing well!

how's it going lynn?

browneye- see if you ca nfind a doc in usa since I have heard many people who have experience diffculties in getting fills from a usa doc after getting banded in mexico. mine only cost me 9900.00 (majority financed) here in houston, TX- Dr. Christopher Reilly -please just check around before going all the way to mexico for this procedure..

You will be soon - kep walking around the house; I will get up 3-4 time and walk 5 laps in house and it made a huge difference.

How's it going lady?

Good Morning Everyone! Indeed this is an AWESOME DAY! Happy to be alive! things are going well! Talk to me how are each of you doing?

My scale is not moving but inches are coming off - about 2 inches from hips and 1.5 inches around chest, waist, & thighs each. Soon I will be able to toss that scale and stop looking at it

How are you doing?

HI ALL! So I am on day 14 I think after surgery - still feeling good, excercising on treadmill, 3 x a week- started to jog a little now still kinda uncomfortable for that though... scale not really moving but inches are being lost since clothes, shoes, rings, al fit better and I am measuring - will admit starting to get hungry more in the evenings- so trying to make good choices with mushies - post op release visit scheduled on 09/20 and 1st fill 09/21

Congratulations - it appears that we had our surgery around the same time. Mine was on 08/25 so I too am just now starting to get a little hungry and looking forward to 1st fill! Hang in there and email me anytime! destined2livelife@yahoo.com

Feeling great! Walked today on treadmill for 30 min. The swelling has went down tremendously! NO more gas in shoulder or under rib, which is a blessing in itself! I am totally looking forward to my 1st fill since I am getting cravings and am hungry... This may subside some since I can start on mushy foods this week- I hope so-

Hello Everyone- I just wanted to give an update: I am feeling great! No more gas in shoulder or under my ribs and the swelling has gone down tremendously! I have started walking on treadmill just 20 min a day so far. Actually craving soft foods but I know that I must wait... I think I am looking foward to my first fill since I do not want to mess up.
