My mom was considering the band after seeing my results with it. Then today, her family doctor told her it was "bad" because you lose weight from "starvation mode" with the band. I told her her doctor needs to get his head out of ass. I want to slap the stupid out of this guy!

I swear, if one more well meaning person tells me "don't lose too much more, you'll be too thin" I may punch someone. I am FAR from being thin let alone too thin!

I swear some people come on this forum just to troll for conflict to create. It's pretty pathetic.

It may only be a pound, but I'm really glad to see the scale moving again after a 6 week plateau.

I have found my first and only downfall to losing weight- I'm running out of good fatty spots to give myself shots. I've got really ugly, angry spots that seem to last for weeks. I'm praying I don't have to change meds. Ugh!

I needed a gray shirt for a family picnic today, so I just ran into Kmart and found one for like $8. It's cheap, it fits, so it works. I could've NEVER done that when I was still in plus sized clothes. I'm so thankful for my band!

Good news from the CT scan of my legs! No scarring, no narrowing of the veins, no compression issues, and no new blood clots! I'm very happy!

It's amazing what a huge difference just .1cc can make. A week ago, I was starting to graze out of hunger. Today, I can't even finish a half cup of chili. Wow!

I actually had soup with some chunks. Being too tight isn't only dangerous but very unhealthy. I'm so glad I got the small unfill today.

Well, I had .2cc removed from my band today, leaving the fill from Monday at .1cc I feel a lot better

I must've been retaining a lot of fluid because after only 24 hours of liquids I can feel my pants getting looser.

I forgot how much I hate being on just liquids lol.

While at my doctor getting a fill, I met a lady who's banded over 8 years. She's lost 135 pounds and the only complication she's had was a port flip. It's so cool meeting long term success stories!

I had to go out and buy liquid diet stuff. I'll be getting my first fill in 9 months tomorrow.

I just realized today that I can easily fit into and wear my (very thin) boyfriend's sweat shirts. He said it was very cool and commented on how far I've come, however I don't think he's realized the ramifications of this new realization. My wardrobe just doubled.

Haven't had a fill since January but I think it might be time for another one soon.

A couple years ago, I got a night shirt that I just loved. When I first bought it back then I had to get the biggest size they made it in, which is a 7X/48W. Last fall the 7X was falling off me so I got the exact same night shirt again but in a 2X/24W. Once again it was falling off me so last week I ordered the smallest size they make which is a S/12W. It fits perfectly! The only thing that kinda sucks? They don't make it any smaller so when I shrink out of this one I'm screwed lol.

In April when I mow the lawn for the first time of the spring, I'm all "Oh it's good exercise! And sunshine! Yay for lawns!" In September, after being stung by a bee, bitten by ants, sweat through my jeans, and picked pine needles out of my hair I'm going "*#%! lawn!! Is it October yet?!"

I would still take the extra skin over the extra fat any day, but I hate my upper arms. I'm so ready for fall so I can wear long sleeves to cover them.

I just bought my very first size M women's shirt today. I'm so freak'n happy!

It's FINALLY warm again! Off to spend the day at the pool with my son!

I've gone from a 52" bra to a 36" bra. That's 16 inches. WOW!!!

I miss the warm weather. I feel like I woke up in October, not August.

This is the first time since I was about 16yrs old that I'm not in plus sized clothing. It's awesome but dangerous. I LOVE shopping so much now!! I stopped at Kohl's just see what size I was in these days. I was shocked and thrilled when a couple roomier cut size L tops were actually too big. I don't think I've been able to wear a size M in anything since junior high. I should get a medal for actually walking out of the store without buying anything!

I'm wearing a cute sun dress and sandals to have date night with my boyfriend. It still makes me downright giddy to look in the mirror and feel like I actually look good. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my band!
