It is nice to have support...however, the flip side is that some people are jealous and mean about it. So use caution when you tell. I only told my immediate family (NOT my in-laws) and my 2 best friends. Thats it. Just be choosy!

That is awesome!!!

I just submitted mine, so we will see what comes about! Brandy

That sounds cool! I am going to check it out!

That is great! Good for you!!

Welcome Viri and Deevah~ let me just say that you do whatever feels right to you! You will know in your heart if you are making the right decisions. Dynamo~ Glad to hear your son is doing ok...we will keep our fingers crossed that nothing else happens! I am with you on AI...yikes! LA~ Your probably getting on the plane as I type this! Good luck tomorrow! I will be thinking of you and sending you lots of healing vibes!! I am down 30 pounds of this morning! YAY!!!!

Glad that it was a great experience for you!!! It was alot easier than I expected too! Brandy

Ok...so I was at the gym this morning, started doing sit ups on a ball, and I could really feel my port wiggling around. I am 5 weeks out. Is this ok, or should I hold off a bit? Brandy

I have big calves too. When I was skinny they were almost as big as my thighs. UGH! I hate them almost as much as my arse! Brandy

I like the Jarrow formula they have chocolate and unflavored that I buy. It is very reasonable. WWW.VITACOST.COM I also am loving the Protein shots at GNC, easy to take and not bad tasting. 27g for 2.5 ounces. Good luck, I thought that it was really hard to find something that I liked. Brandy

I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! 4.5 weeks out and I am in ONEderland!!! 198.5 as of this morning!!! I am so tickled!!! Just thought that I would share!! Brandy

I made it to ONEderland!!! 198.6 this morning, I am 4.5 weeks out and am so excited!! Brandy

Mal: **KICK**

Your welcome! Were rooting for you!! Feel better soon!

Sunshine~ I had the same thing, I did really shallow breathing for awhile. Also, it was HORRIBLE to do the breathing thing, to clear your lungs. It did go away by about day 3 or 4. Hugs! I hope your feeling better soon! Brandy

MAL: Hey, where are you going to be doing the Avon walk???? I received some info on one in the mountains, but it is a total of 39 miles in 2 days, not quite sure I could go that far. Although I want to. My mom was diagnosed late this summer and my grandmother also passed away from breast cancer. I want to do this for them! Let me know if there is another walk somewhere else... THANK YOU!!! Brandy

Glad that your recovering so nicely! Keep the excitment going!!! Brandy

Is it normal to be sore after a fill? I had my first one yesterday and although there was no real prodding with the needle, I feel sore. Just wondering if this is normal, or if I need to call the doc in the morning. Thanks

Just ignore them and do what is best for you. Only you know. AMEN for the epidural!

I am going to check it out tomorrow. Thanks for sharing! If I could do one shake that would be awesome, otherwise, I don't eat my 3 meals! Thank you also taismommy for the info. Where are you from? I already have 4 kids, whats a few more? I am in Colorado. Brandy

:clap2::clap2::clap2: WOOFAY!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2: Need I say more?!?!

What are the calories and carbs?

Hi Girls~ Well I am down 25 pounds!!! Which is huge for me. I am sooooooo close to onederland. I am hoping by next week!!! I had my fill today and other than being a little sore, so far so good. I ate a small piece of pizza, and fluids and everything has been fine...I got clearance to work out as well, so I will be hitting the gym very, very soon! Everyone sounds like they are doing awesome! Keep it up! Brandy

Had my fill, everything went fine. The weirdest part was "hearing" the pop when he entered my port. Made me jump. I got 3.55cc in a 10cc band. My lower stomach is hungry, but up above is gurggley. Normal? :help: I am able to swallow and drink just fine. I also at 2 pieces of cookie dough (Bad, bad me) and they seemed ok to. We will see... Brandy

WOW! I was self pay, the first 3 months fills are free, after that it is only $15.00. Yep, $15.00! I don't think I could afford some of those higher prices. Yikes! In case anyone is interested, I was banded by Dr. Kirshenbaum in Denver. Brandy
