Missy are you sure it is 5000 mg or is it mcg? I see it listed as 5000 mcg on line...

I am also anxious to lose that first 50...I have 2 pounds to go! Good luck to you.

Carolinagirl you are another one of my inspirations...

Thanks SueBee01, You've been an inspiration to me...

Since my last fill, I weighed myself today,and I have now officially lost 43 pounds and have 39 pounds to go until I reach my goal!!!! I'm so happy !!!

I agree with Missy...Enjoy your vacation with your family and let that be your "last hurrah" pre-banded.

I'm so happy for you!!!...When I hit it, I was sooooo happy too! Keep up the great work!

Tuna to Go cups are my new favorite "take with me" meal. I eat them for Breakfast, lunch or dinner, when I want to change this up...Filling and easy to eat. Calories: 70 Protein: 15 grams

I love them and cook them to a soft consistency. No problems for me, but I am slowly approaching the green zone and have to eat slow and chew them very well.

I love to eat dark chocolate peanut M & Ms....I keep a large bag in my freezer and take out a few at a time when I crave something sweet and chocolately. The protein doesn't hurt either. This works for me...

I had 4ccs put in at the time of my operation...and then not a fill until 6 weeks after of 1cc...

I was stuck really bad ONCE and it lasted more than 8 hours...Pain, heartburn, vomiting, you name it. I couldn't even keep water down. Eventually it did pass, had heartburn in the throat the whole next day. I did go to see my doctor (the next day) and was reprimanded for waiting the next day. Now I know not to wait...and for what? It's your body so please make the right decision about what is right for you. I hope you will be ok...

I'm so glad to know that you are ok...You did the right thing! Take it easy for now.

I would seek medical attention. It's not worth the risks. You know when your body is just not right.

I got .5 cc yesterday...totaling 6.5 right now... So far so good!

Tagged to my favorites... Thanks for sharing 2muchfun!

First of all, congratulations on your continued success!How many ccs do you now have? I know the number is different for everyone, but tomorrow I have an appointment and want to tweak mine too...I'm afraid of getting in the red zone and don't want to have fluid removed...

Thanks for responding Catfish87. I also do not want to "unfill" so I will ask about the fluoro on Thursday. Is that when they watch under x ray the flow of that white stuff you drink?

Good luck to you on the most exciting journey of your life! I am happier today,than I was before being banded.

Hi everyone, So far I've lost 35 pounds since being banded 10/24/12. I am very happy with my results so far. I have not had a fill since 12/28/12. I am going in on Thursday (5/2) to see about getting a fill of .5 cc. I can go 3 hours between meals without eating on an average (some days less, some days more). I would like to know how the journey went for those of you who "tweaked" your way to find that green zone we all long for... Thanks for your imput and support! ~Angela Btw: I have a 10cc band with 4cc at time of surgery, 1cc 12/12, 1cc 12/28 (a total of 6 cc so far)

I love to snack on sunflower seeds. I buy different flavors...Does anyone else snack on them?

I have 2 girls, 11 & 10 and I chose not to tell them. They do not have weight problems and I did not want them to worry about me. I also do not want my in-laws to know. Only a few people know in my family, and I am happy with the choices I have made.

Thanks Karen!
