  1. I don't have a fill yet but am having alot of problems getting my many pills down. I am going to try and crush them but some won't. ..a coating over them. I am finding I'm slimeing nothing else coming up. .......I would google what effects peppermint has on a body , throat etc. The doc maybe right but it might give other ideas too. I might be getting a fill in dec don't know how well I'll take that with my pills. Dylanmiles23....have you been filled? How long have you been eating or using peppermint? Hope u find some answers. Keep the faith
  2. Donna450/donna Wt on 10-1: 187 Wt on 11-1: 187 Goal for dec 1: 182 I should get a fill early dec so might start to lose weight. I'm disappointed but happy not to have gained. Hope all of you have done better. Have a great day.
  3. Hi...I am still at 20 or so lbs since 8-23. Haven't had a fill yet but supposedly 1st of Dec. I have been eating alot more than I should. Haven't started a regular exercise program except trying to walk everyday. I am trying to get myself into shapes (if I have enough money left over from bills). Also another gym which I can get into free thru silver sneakers but not sure my joints can take it...they don't have a pool. But am staying not gaining. After vacation from 11-11 to 11-27 I should get my fill right after Thanksgiving. I'll have alot of prepare work to do but daughter is helping alot. So hope all are doing well and have a glorious holiday.
  4. I used my phone timer tonight. Ate it cold but went down and no pbing. I think I will use it in a restaurant too. Thx for the idea. I'll need a fill (1st) in Dec. So will certainly need it then.
  5. Thx for getting back to me. I see your reasoning. I take my time on most things but not on all. So maybe I'll try a timer and see if it will work for me. I can use my phone's stop watch.
  6. How are u doing now it's been almost three months. Finding it doing its job while u do yours? Exercising? What are you doing? I hope all is going well for you. Good luck on your journey.
  7. Keep your positive attitude....knowing you are making progress does wonders for body and ego. Keep up the good work. Kudos!
  8. Today I walked as far as I could go until hips hurt but I'm increasing. WTG to me!! I feel great about that. I am working the zumba and waking and tomorrow starting with my stretch bands. We'll see how that works. Should be good for upper body. Night all. Kudos to everyine. Be safe!
  9. Hi carolinagirl and everyone. I started wii zumba basics today didn't last too long but fun so will get some of the steps down then step it up. Low sugar tonight didn't eat as much as I thought I would and got down to 50. Coming out of it slow but sure took a few glucose tabs. Have a good night.
  10. I called my dr and asked whether I should get a fill before going on vacation to Hawaii and she dr assistant said to wait since it would be only 5 days before leaving. So made it for first of dec. That way I'll feel much calmer knowing if I do have a problem he won't be too far away. So I'm good with this . I'm getting down most foods and getting a little hungry between meals so I think I'm ready for at least a small fill.. getting ready to start wii zumba today to see if I can stay upright for 5 or more min. (Just starting today). So with that and bike I might get in 30 min today maybe more. I'm going to try not giving in to my hunger or just grab a quick Protein bite to stave it off. Losing only by the tenths of a lb now. Very frstrating. But will perservere. Enjoy your day banders...be safe.
  11. I checked on the last post that I saw was you were celebrating your 1st month. How have you been doing? Any tips on your success? And how much have you lost? Has it been a real learning experience or fairly easy for you? Proud to hear you've reached your 2 month anniversary and sounding pretty happy about it. Congrats!
