I too had a nsv this week....I have walked every day 5 miles one day and yesterday on my way home from work I stopped at a place called 1000 steps....its a trail up the side of a mt here in PA and i walked to 250 step....all alone....I was hoping to get to the top...but I know i will some day....

thanks for sharing...you are my motivation for today !!!

~claps~ way to go.....

I have 6 ccs in my 10 cc band....and I can still eat what ever I try to.....good thing I have will power....

Sounds like your doing great even with the bumps in the road....

Honestly the biggest fear I had was that something would go wrong during surgery and I wouldnt be here for my children .....since being banded I do so much more withthem...they all see how much happier I am...which makes them happy !

My main reason to have banding was to get healthy...I have 5 adopted young children one whom is very handicapped....and I know they will need me around for a good long time...and I want to be able to do so many things with them...

checking in at 187.0 !!!

For me...when I started the weight loss eating...i lost steady every week for 6 months I had a weight loss......when I got banded I went on a 2 month not seeing the scale move....What I think about it all was in the begining I had soooo much to loose that it was just a lot easier ....now that my bodys adjusting to the 1200 cal days....the weight loss isnt as fast and that is ok...after my 2 months stand still the scale and I are friends again.....and I know with the help of the band...I will not put it all back on again....Good Luck and God Bless you

Hope your feeling restriction.... I also had my 2nd fill today.....he had told me last month I had 6 cc but today he took it all out and it was only 4.....so he re filled to 6....he says some times the air in the line or some stays in the needle....Im hoping to feel restriction now too.....I was down 7 lbs this month..yea is me !!!

I love it on crackers or celery....

Sorry for your life challanges Lovingit....but your BACK and I think thats great.... Im sure its going to be hard motivating back in but you can do it...and were all here cheering for you....Dee

Hi Andy... Im just over 2 months banded....and honestly I knew I wanted this surgery 10 yrs ago but had to wait till I had insurance....and since I have started this the 6 month diet and learning how to eat I have never regreated any of it...I also was worryed about ....never eatting as I was eatting but ...my Dr reminded me...eatting like I was ...is why I was morbidly obease !!! and because of that I couldnt enjoy life or my family like I do now...So many non scale victorys I see now...im not always worryed about if my butt hangs off the bleacher at a ball game...my bellie doesnt rub against the stearing wheel of the car....I dont have the kids getting things for me all the time....sounds crazy but I enjoy jumping up off the couch. I know its only going to get better....socially Im more out going and people respond to that...Good Luck... Dee...
