this one is aweeeesome!

I just bought some from my surgerons office yesterday. Got my first fill, and on liquids so I'll wait till till tomorrow to try them.. I'll let you know soon or until someone replies that has taken them awhile. They look great.. good luck! was 20.00 for a month supply 60 chewable tablets.

Weee... reached my Nov goal .. Weighed in at 293. down 4lbs this week! Bring it December Challenge!

You're going great... I feel much the same.. how did I get this way.. seriously seems like one year I was 225 and I in all honesty don't know when I got to 325. It baffles me how I let myself get this way.. I wouldn't listen to anyone.. thats why.. but there is nothing we can do about it but move forward.. don't lose any more years.. and reach out to people in the same situation.. Proud of your weightloss! you will get there... smile.. and do it!

That is awesome! Grats.. It is amazing how we change.. inside and out with food. Best of luck on your journey and maintenance

Grats on making the decision to take your life back hun! and hero's... Oh yes.. Maaaany on this site!! read read read.. and you will see this is the site you have been looking for. Everyone here is so inspiring, welcoming, and informative. I have looked at other sites and none come close!! good luck on your journey.. and look forward to seeing more posts from you in the future! night night!

Ahhh.. to be at goal weight.. what a treasure that must be... So happy you are there..an inspiration.. you are!

thanks aj., now I need to dl something to see pdf files.. Inc tomorrow! That is definitely handy!

haha.. Atta girl! damn jealous people ><... I would have been smiling big also.. you did it!

I weigh myself every morning before breakfast. Just get back on track.. say to yourself.. ok.. I had a good thanksgiving.. now time to get back to the basics and the things i KNOW works... good luck!

Hmm.. that sounds like something pretty serious.. especially if you can't really drink anything also.. I'd call my surgeons office and let them know how serious you feel this is.. and that you cannot wait until Dec 7th. thats crazy.. hope you feel better soon! :\ and grats on such an amazing weight loss.. I would be 10lbs shy of my goal when I get there.. exciting.

Grats!! wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Wow.. and wow!! you look soooo beautiful.. you were beautiful then.. and you are a total knock out!! Grats!

Soda was hard for me as well, I just don't think it's worth the risk.. and it is soo bad for you.. INCLUDING Diet soda. I helped out my bf since he was a big soda drinker as well and since banding.. we don't have it anymore, well I definitely don't and he has cut down about 95%. So it was win/win. and Chez speak it! lol.. Good luck.. it will get easier the more you stay away and make up your mind it is just something that can potentially harm you. Propel Zero is awesome btw.

I hear ya.. I just started zumba and I love it, but I am all over the place and live on the 2nd floor apt building so I try not to hop around everywhere lol.. I put on a playlist sometimes and for 30mins dance and work it.. so I will LOVE to do this with you!! Starting it today? woooo.. I LOVE to dance!

I just had my 1st fill today also.. how much cc did they put in? I have 2 total now.. I feel it, but I can drink fine.. sounds like it is to tight? call them up! did they have you test out some Water before you left? and conograts on your 1st fill.. hope you feel better soon!

I got 2cc's in my band now.. and I drank the Water fine, as I drink my Protein shake, I do feel a difference. Oh man.. she tried to find the port, well she found it but took awhile to get the needle in place.. ya that hurt, she had me do a crunch and hold.. Ouuuch... she did said that would be the worse of it as the next time it will be so much easier. Saw the nutritionist today at my primary care office, and well, seems sorta expensive. I have insurance.. but she doesn't qualify for it since she is not a "licensed" Nut, only certified. I like her a lot, very caring.. she wouldn't give me any real info though until I make a decision to buy the package. She suggested I go on the HCG. 350. for the first month and 100.00 a month following up on her visits Is that a normal price? I have never been to a Nut before and not sure if that is a bit pricey or I should keep looking. She has written a book, and has appeared on good morning america and on the cover of people's magazine...her name is Camille Tirzah. Maybe that is why It seems pricey. I didn't know this, just called my primary care for an appt with a Nut. SHe has lost 100lbs herself and seems very sincere. What do you all suggest? That is a bit pricey for me.. but if it is the norm, hopefully I can come up with some plan. <3

Weeeeee hehe thanks all!!! and Yes Maddy WE sure are!!! <3333 omw now to my first Nut's appt... and then at 1pm off to get my first fill... whew.. a nice and eventful day off!

I am sooo happy and excited to make my first goal and to reach it in the time I had placed. 30lbs gone!! woooo ! I have been so frustrated because I had been stalled for a bout 3weeks.. and this last 1.5 lbs got me there finally. lol.. **happy dance** I have my 1st fill tomorrow, I don't have any Fluid in my band as of yet so I will be so happy to feel any difference. So far, I haven't been to hungry, and when I eat my meal of a cup to a cup and half I stay satisfied for about 3hrs. Maybe a little less. I love my fitness pal and it has kept me on track and so have you all. Thank you all so much for your continued support, advise, and kicks in the arse! I appreciate it all. I have not been perfect but boy am I trying.. and like CG said it, you have to believe in yourself.. I sure as hell do!! : :wub: Love you all!

Hey Kristin! Yes it's normal to be sore to get up and down, some take a bit longer to heal up. I had the same problem, was always sore getting up and down.. it lasted a few days, maybe a week and then one day it was just SOOO much better. I couldn't bend over for over a week but it wasn't too bad. I slept in my recliner for a week hehe. It will get better.. and congrats on your on your way to a new you! or the you that was always there just in hiding. *hugs*! good luck hun!
