Good Luck tomorrow Samy, Let us know how is goes and wow you are already there!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to bandland!!!!!

Thank you Letha! I just wanted to check with you guys (my experts) to see what you thought...it's difficult to eat but I'm trying to adjust..i'm not pbing thought this morning i felt like i might..thanks for the fitday.com recommendation, I'll check that out! I'll let you know if I'm at the elusive spot next monday on weigh in day :D Thanks for all your comments and suggestions, and if you think of anything else, please feel free to pm me or post up...THANK YOU!!!

I think so Marie....I am having to re-learn how to eat everytime i get a fill...Maybe I'm doing a little to much you think? I ate about 3/4 of a cup of runny chilli today....I dont know if that has any relevance but was wondering about your input on it? Sound about right? To much? Do you guys also find you need things to be really moist to help them....I had some dry tuna fish the other day and thought I was dying it was so dry and my little belly didnt like it at all...that happen to you guys too? thanks so much for your help I really appreciate it!

That's so funny...I havent even lost nearly as much as you guys but my FEET are always cold now...how weird..even with socks they are frrreeezzzing!!!

Hi guys know I havent been around for awhile, I was busy graduating from COLLEGE!!!!! Then of course there was those wonderful holidays!! Anyway I have a question...I just got my second fill and while food is passing, albeit less (which is the point of course!) sometimes it feels like my stomach is irritated if that makes any sense....it's hard to explain..I haven't PB'd or anything I just have to eat super slow and chew super fine...is this finally my bandland experience or do you guys think something could be wrong? I guess I'm asking if I'm normal to go from feeling semi-restricted to pretty restricted? From what I read here I should go back to him if I can't get anything down but that's not the case.....Ok I could ramble for hours, I missed you all, and thank you in advance for any advice you could give me!!! Thanks!!

OH wow Vicky that's soooo great!! the time will fly for you!!!!! Let us know how everything goes!!

Congrats Natalie you are doing fantastic, you'll be in Onederland before you know it!!

Congrats! Glad to hear everything went well, does your dr. think eventually something will have to be done to get rid of the kink???

Thanks sweet Betty! That is so interesting! Printed it out and am going to hang it on the fridge!

That's me to Lauri! My jeans are huge but i cant wear another size because my tummy wont go away!!! Grrrrrr.....

On my never again list was steak, my nutritionist told me that no matter how much you chew it, it still goes down the same size as when u put it in your mouth...i dunno thats just what i was told

thanks greg, i tried to be good but u know how it is with birthdays...that means CAKE!!!! lol but now i'm back on track and am thinking ahead about thanksgiving and how i can do well with all those potatoes and carbs and starches...lol...thats part of it, plan ahead and you will succeed!! I guess next monday i'll find out how well i planned! LoL! Thanks Greg!

Congrats on Onederland Michelle!!!! Ok I got my fill and am going to start with the monday weigh in's....since my fill last thursday I am down 4 lbs!!! Yeah!! Plus I am doing more excercizing and that seems to be helping alot!!

I got my first fill yesterday...Dr. A gave me 2cc's and I'm on liquids until tomorrow, but it's ok because I didnt even feel it and I havent been hungry at all!!! Ok guys I'm starting to think this thing might actually be working! I actually lost weight before my fill also, so that's a plus in my book! Just wanted to update!! Talk to you guys soon!

Hey that's ok, there's no time limit on your success!! Next week you'll get a fill and be right back on the road to success!!! Katie

Hi Lauri--nope not yet, he only does fills on certain days in the office...i have to call and reschedule....thanks for checking on me your a sweetie! I guess maybe it's a sign I wasn't supposed to have it, it's giving my incisions a little more time to heal...thats a good thing how are you doing?? Heard anything on your surgery yet? Katie
