  1. That is strange for sure I would talk with your doctor and have him check you
  2. I had my sugery may 8th and am only down 35lbs I have only gotten stuck 2 times and it was my own fault ate too fast. my doctor says that it should be 1-2 lbs a week and that is healthy so we all must be patient with ourselves as hard as that is. I have been trying to remind myself that it took a few years to get this big and i should allow my body a year to let go.
  3. welcome Daddy this is a great group lots of support The fill is uncomfortable but not painful at all my doctor numbs my site first
  4. Awesome job So proud of you I may also have to defriend bread after my 3rd fill I got stuck real bad for the first time not pleasant at all
  5. Thats awesome everyone is pushing through I will join you all as soon as I get cleared I miss it already!
  6. I have up until I fractured my foot July 7th Hoping the doctor will let me go back in next week.
  7. to be healthier to weigh less than my dad (he lost 80lbs and kept it off 2 years ago) to get off my CPAP machine permently ( I only use it once a week now) to get off all my meds (have gone to half) to wear boots to run with my grandchildren and not need oxygen
  8. I have had some soreness around the port but nothing too awful to handle
  9. I love yoga and you don't notice how much you work until the next day when you move lol
  10. I will be starting Monday I hope it all depends on how busy I get at work, I sometimes dont take a lunch so I can get caught up with my work. We are understaffed in my dept and I am the supervisor so it falls on me if someone is out but if not at lunch I will be going after work for sure!! Mon-Thurs as well and hoping to start some on the weekends as well although I do keep active so I know I am burning calories.
  11. I got my second fill and I am now at 6cc's and feel much closer to the green zone had breakfast this morning and could only eat 1/2 the wrap I made YEAH!! I was also down some this morning from the liguids yesterday I'll take it finally movement!!
  12. So went to the doctor got another fill and asked about the soreness in the port when bending and he said it is all normal nothing to worry about it as long as it is just uncomfortable you will get used to it. I am going to start at the pool doing laps during lunch next week and then up my routine at night to @1 hour.
  13. That would be great I love Vegas in fact will be there in Oct this year!! We will have to see when it is and start saving for it LOL Yes I believe we will all make it in our goals!
  14. Oh No I hope everything is ok
  15. I need to up my game as well last 2 weeks I have fallen a little eating bigger portions and not pushing the exercise settling for a lunch walk for a mile I can do so much more!! I signed up for a better gym this week they have a pool so no excuses if its hot (don't sweat much in a pool!) I love our group as well and do find myself thinking of all of you wondering how your doing so keep pushing me!! We all are going through this journey together! Maybe one day when we hit our goals we can plan a vacation together for a weekend were we can all meet and show off our sexy Body's! :wub: I go today for another fill so I am hoping it helps with the hunger I have been feeling. I also feel my Port when I bend and have to adjust when doing Yoga mostly not the best feeling....
  16. I was scheduled for my next appointment right away I go back in Friday the 29th I am sure I will be having another fill I don't have any restriction right now. I also have been holding steady for 4 weeks no loss no gain I am down 31 total since the start of this journey. I am not complaining but would like to keep moving forward.

  19. YUMMY oh yes adding to my shopping list too!!
  20. Way to go!!! Feels good now doesn't it?
  21. I added strength last week as I also had a hernia and they wouldn't release me until fully healed felt like jello after the first day lol so out of shape for the legs and arms still walking at lunch and going to the gym after supper.
  22. I am down 29.6lbs so far and feel good about myself as well. I am able to walk 30 minutes on the treadmill and my heartrate stays @ 140 2 months ago I had to stop because my heartrate was going over 200 I can climb the stairs to go to bed without huffing and puffing and My Doctor has taken me off 1/2 my meds!!! I am so glad I did this!
  23. I just started to feel hungry last week I am 5 weeks out and have no fill in my band I think the swelling from the surgery takes a while to go down. I get the pain under my left breast as well when I am full and I burp. I will have my first fill next week and will let you all know how that changes my eating. I can eat everything right now but I watch and try and keep it to @ 1 cup as well. I got stuck and have to agree not the best feeling in the world but it does go away if you relax and let it pass. The best advice I can give is to chew chew chew and just when you thought you were done chew some more!
  24. Not sure if anyone else has noticed but since losing 29lbs I don't find that the excercise is as hard as it was before the weight loss I was on the treadmill and usually after 1/2 hour my heart rate would go over 200 and I would need to stop now it is steady at 140 yippee!!!
  25. Sounds yummy!
