Kirajh - 50lbs is awesome!!!! Do you notice that your clothes are a lot looser? You have to feel physically better. Distant - Looking Good!!!!! I got my 5th fill yesterday. When I went in I wanted to make sure my total was the same as the nurses, so I had my note filled out with what I have. She said her total and mine will never be the same, because the band is a semi-permeable membrane and some liquid will evaporate or come out. She said that's why each time she fills, she first pulls all the liquid out to see what's in. I was really nervous about the total, because I completely shut last time at 5.5. I think I am back up to 5.5 this time. So I'm doing liquids and being carefull cause I want it tight. So when I got to work today, cause I didn't go in yesterday, I was filling in my calender. I marking that Auntie's here and I see she was just here 2 weeks ago. This time is even worse than the last time which was hell, this time it's vicouis. I think I am definitely going through the change. Good News - I have officially moved down one level in the obesity category. I am officially in onederland.

Hi Everybody, I go for another fill tomorrow morning. I can't remember what number it is without my calender. I know I have 4.5 in the 10 AP band. I don't feel any restriction yet. It must work some though because I definitely eat less. I am eating around 1200 cals a day and losing nothing. I keep looking at everyone's tickers, and I am getting seriously depressed. Unless I eat no more than 800 cals a day I don't lose weight. That is impossible right now. I really hope tomorrow's fill works. Today I feel gross, hot, fat, and misirible. Maybe it's Auntie's fault. The bitch almost killed me last night. I actually had to take a sip of my left over surgery pain meds. Tylenol did nothing.

Congratulations Ruby!!! Great Hubby!! Karri - I'm with you. Can't relate to wanting them. I have to make an appointment in Jan. to see about getting a reduction this summer. I'm a walking tit factory. When I walk in a room, you see em 2 minutes before you actually see me. I find the more weight I lose the more they are starting to hurt my back and shoulders, it's wierd.

Marcy - My children are 22 and 15. The rule in my house is, You don't believe, you don't receive. I will not answer questions about where something came from. It came from Santa.

Marcy - Snap out of it! I just hit ya in the head with a dead fish. You live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I bet you leave your doors unlocked too. I lock the door when I go to the mailbox. You have a beautiful family, and a very romantic husband who adores you. And may I say you also are looking hot. Go get you one of them sunshine lightbulbs. Your just sad cause your trip is over, and the whole family got to party without a care. Back to reality is always sad. I always kinda cried the day after my slumber parties because it was over. I hate the end of vacations.

Kathy and Lynette great to hear from you. Kathy, so sorry about your Dad, I pray for him. BlooEyez, I have had chocolate everyday since Halloween. Tomorrow I'll find this protien ball recipe and post it. Maybe that will help the candy fix. I just had a root canal today. I'm taking some of my left over pain med from the lapband surgery. So back to bed for now. I think the spots where she gave me the shots might be hurtin the most.

Ruby - This is how a fat girl hides her tracks on an unbelievablly delicious, OMG, I can't stop, King Cake. King Cakes come in a circle like a large donut. Everytime I would eat a piece, I would shove the circle together to make it smaller. A large King Cake becomes a small King Cake.

I'm back from my fill. She put 1.5 in Monday. I couldn't even drink without spitting up foam. Today she took out 1. I feel 100% better. I went eat soup as soon as she was done. I lost 5lbs since the Monday morning weigh in. But I'm not counting that cause it probably was just dehydration. The soup and water probably put it back on.

Indio - I have to go back to read your post. I have to hurry and write this cause my secretary ain't here and I have a swamp of work to do. I have to leave at 1:00 to go about 40mins away to get an unfill. I can't even get Water down. I spent 2 hours last night trying to get in some water and spitting up continual foam. The nurse will be on this side of Lake Pontratrain tomorrow, but I can't wait. I'm in pain.

Chim - Girl you better talk care of yourself. Taking antibiotics is serious business. You have been taking them since before you got the band. You better get all healed before they stop working, then you'll be up da freakin creek without a paddle. Maybe you should take some time off. I'm worried about ya.

Help Please

Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters
Count me in I'm gonna call the dr's office tomorrow. I think I'm too tight. I got coffee on the way back to work after my fill this morning. I never finished it. I haven't even drank 1 whole glass of water today. This feeling is very unpleasant.
