Lmfao... I meant my "doc" not "dic" omg so sorry!!!!! Llololol

Cindy.... I did a little research and the pain ur feeling is your phrenic nerve. It is indirectly related to your diaphragm. Very weird, I know. I had it for 2 weeks after surgery and my dic said to take advil for 5 days. It miraculously went away after 3 days of advils. Do you get it every day? Have you mentioned it to your doc?

Checking in...147.9 33 lbs away from goal:)

South Florida as well: 10,000 including 1st fill, each additional fill 200..

Nightshiftnurse and marketing dude.... Thank you guys so much for putting my exact feelings in writing....sometimes I just can't write what I'm feeling incase it comes out too negative....I rather just stay quiet and ignore the ignorance. And by the way, I too am a nurse now that we are all out there.

Thank you Violet.... Wow sounds gorgeous where u live! Wish we had a forest here in South Florida to enjoy! I will look into those workout options as well, I am a true beginner. Hate the gym, never into sports, but I know I need to. I guess I haven't yet found a workout I enjoy. All of you guys have given me awesome ideas:) thanks!!!

Thank you B-52...I will look into that. I appreciate your advice:)

Go girl bring out that box and pour me a drink!

Sorry if you took it personally Ducker, not my intention. It just seems line you have gone a little overboard and have gotten a little too angry at the alcohol post.....

Ducker... You sound like a friend of mine who's a recovering alcoholic. Lighten up dude.

Feel no difference after 1st fill.... I think ull be good:) I go on my cruise in July and will have a few more fills by then:) can't wait!

Go Dawn!!! That's Awesome!

Thanks Rbl... My goal next week will be 30 min then I will try to increase from there. It's just soooo hard! I've never been athletic and I just dread sweating...lol

Thanks for all the advise guys!!! I will defenitely add a little more variety to my workout. I thought this would be good enough for me since I didn't exercise at all before!! Lol You guys all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Actually when I look at myself in the mirror, I say to myself.." ok, you look like you've lost a couple this week" then I get the courage to step on the scale and nothing! So yes, it's possible inches are coming off:) thanks for the reminder!!

I want a little alcohol at least....lol

That's amazing! Hard work pays off:)

K guys.... Ideas, suggestions, please advise. Scale hasnt budged in 3 weeks... Actually has crept up by 0.5 lbs, twice already! I was banded 2/14/12, have a 10cc band w/2.5 cc fill so far. I exercise 3x a week for about 25 min on my elliptical. I eat super healthy, about 1-1/2 cup portions at a time. Example day: Breakfast: 1 pack oatmeal and 1 string cheese Lunch: 1/2 cup chicken salad, 1 whole grain cracker, 1 ff pudding Dinner: 1/2 tuna salad, 1/2 cup bean salad, 1 jello. Snack: if anything would be some cheese or hummus. I never go above 1100 calories a day. I'm frusteTed. My next fill is 4/16. Help????

Oops.... This was a respond to Tracies' thread! Sorry Sage!!

Hi Sage, I bought little 1/2 cup food containers and bring them to work... What if you heat up your lean cuisine at home the night before, and divide them up in the little containers? Maybe you can bring 1 in at a time and have enough for possibly 2 more meals? I'm a firm believer in not throwing " good " food away, even if it means eating the same thing for 2-3 days! Sometimes my dogs even get to enjoy leftovers:) good luck!

Where are my friends that started their journeys around valentines day this year? How are you all doing? I got my band 2/14/12.... Have lost 15 pounds thus far... Got 1st fill 3/9 it was 2.5 cc's. I feel a little fear right now because I feel no restriction and can virtually eat anything and not get full with small amounts!!! My next fill is 4/16 and I'm praying for some restriction! Its all about will power right now baby:) I wanna see what this band can do! Lol

Go girl! U rock!! Congrats:)

Looking good B-52!!!

I'm in South Florida... Had bmi on 30 and Strax Rejuvenation was my place of surgery.... Super happy so far
