Got to love a swim suit that looks good and is not expensive. woo hoo congrats on the lower size too. I have worn a suit every summer. I didnt care if I thought I looked fat or not. I figure if they didnt like it then dont look. lol OH and heck if they couldnt tell I was fat in normal clothes then they were just too stupid for me to deal with lol

I dont get numbed when I get a fill. but it dosent hurt. at least not more then a shot does. Quiltergirl, that is what I want to feel. I want that restriction! End of the month for my 3rd fill ack! I cant wait.

Shoot I have a weight difference of 5 lbs from morning and night. I retain a LOT of Water still. Grrrr I am ready to look at my legs and have them look like normal legs. not big swollen lumpy elephant legs. Uh thanks for letting me vent.

ACK! hiccups is what my 2nd fill brought. I would rather have the burps.

THAT is what I forgot last night at the store! Damn ziplock bags!

Well that is good at least your still moving down...mine has stalled. grrr BUT my dr is super agressive with fills. He kinda leaves it up to us if we feel we need a fill. then when he does give it your filled just below too restricted. Which I love. I feel that because he does his that way I will hit my sweet spot quicker then with any other dr. I hope that is the case. So have you had any fills?

Bring that friend that is brutal about their honesty. at least that person I trust.

I love using these pre fixed meats. they have pork roast. marinated chicken. Pulled beef. Tons of different meats all cooked and marinated. I dont consider myself a good cook. but I am getting better.

My friend bought a work out top and swim suit bottom. I know they make bike shorts in the quick dry material. you could try that. But personally your too young to freak out about how you look right NOW in a suit. you are losing the weight. You will be able to wear anything soon. WAIT! You are at 134 and freaking out about your weight?! Honey take a friend to shop with you. and trust their advise. I am sure your body image is worse then what you really look like!

I have to agree. Any stuck sliming or PB eppisodes I have had were my fault. I ate too fast or didnt chew enough. So it is a lesson for me to remember to chew and slow down. one of the big reasons I got the band. I NEED that reminder of my eatting behaviors. Get the fill. the first one is always nerve racking. but then after that is done you will be like what was I so worried about.lol at least I was

That is an amazing loss. I am hoping my next fill will give me some restriction. I would really like to be losing again.

yOU CAN DO IT! That

What is a recumbant bike? The only kind they have at my gym are the short ones where your sitting at the same height as the peddals and the tall ones I can adjust the seat, but I cant get my leg over the hump in the middle. it hits almost at crotch level. kinda annoying.

Ummmm Cheese. OK I am taking my super cool old bike to the bike shop this weekend. And until then I will be riding the bikes at the gym...if I can get on them. lol sometimes they are too talll for me to get my leg over lol. Especially if I just got off the Elliptical. lol

Thanks I apreciate the info. It is an old bike with the tall handle bars. lol I dont know too much more. I think the information about taking it to a bike shop is a great idea. I will have to do that this weekend. I dont necessaraly want to do power biking but I would love to be able to ride to the grocery store or down to the park. Either is about 2 miles one way and I am pretty sure I can do that. but I was just worried about my bike falling apart. lol Thanks you are a great help!

I am really sorry if this has been asked before BUT, Does anyone think I should wait till I lose weight to ride a bike? Do you think I am too heavy for a bike? I wont take offence honestly. But I want to ride this summer and have an old fashioned bike and love it but havent ridden in YEARS. Please help.

Well it is nice to know it is happening to others besides me. lol I increase my work out by a few minutes ever time I go. And my feet tingle by the last few minutes of each work out. I only push a little at a time.

I burp all the time! I work in customer service and it is crazy trying to hide a burp when your on the phone. If I am not dealing with a customer I just let the burp rip. My co-workers think it is funny. Thank goodness. It has eased up a bit since I have had the surgery. But I am ok with it. as long as I am losing weight and not puking every time I burp I am good. Not very ladylike but oh well.

I used to love pigs in a blanket. lol now I hate mixing my food. lol If I ordered it I would have to take it apart and eat the pancake and sausage seperatly. I am such a weird adult.

Do any of you ride a Bike? I am wanting to get on my old bike and get going but I dont want to break the thing because of my size. Any sugestions?

You can do it I have faith in you. I told my family I couldnt see them this year. I told them I didnt have the money to fly out to see them...BUT I really want to wait to see them till I am down a BUNCH. I just want to see their faces.

LOL My next fill is a week before service school. Where we get free meals all week. lol I am sure I will be super tight and not be able to participate in the free meals. lol That is fine with me I just want to get below the 340's

LOL I think we all thought you were joking. so that is why noone was answering you. lol

LOL I have 4 16oz water bottles at my desk at work. I try to drink all 4 during work. I try to drink one before leaving work and one at bed time. I retain water really bad too. So the more I can get in the better my legs feel. About a year ago I was diagnosed as being dehydrated. It is NOT a nice feeling. water is really hard for me to get the right quantities.

I am staying on the plan today because being snowed in dosent help. I need to get to the gym today and drink all my water.
