Thanks Salsa!! I appreciate your support. I want to be down at least 10 lbs by my fill on Nov 29th. You're right...let's spend Turkey Day in one-der-land!!

Salsa, I am dying for my first fill. I just know it will help so much. I need to get back to basics. My mind is not where it needs to be yet. thanks, Jody

Name: Jody Goal: I will exercise 4 times a week for the month of November!

Everyone is such an inspiration to me!! I hope I can pick up on your motivation and get going now. I can eat anything at all but not as much as I used to. I have no control right now and have stopped losing completely. I need to get back on the "Band Wagon".

Hi everyone, I have played with the same 4 lbs. for 3 weeks now. I have had enough! If I even slip a bit I don't lose a thing. In fact, the scale swings the wrong way. I have been reading all your posts and everyone is doing great. I need your motivation, ideas and support. I have absolutely no restriction at all. I get my first fill on 11/29. I would like to be down 10 lbs by then. I bought the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds DVD and did the 3 mile tonight. I plan to do the 1 or 2 mile every morning. It has to help. I need to really focus on this and get the job done. Wish me luck!! I can do this!!:whoo:

The nutritionist recommended Twin Lab B12 dots that are sublingual (go under your tongue). I take regular B12 tablets. I take 2 in the morning (250 mg each). It seems to help me a lot. If I take them regularly I feel great. I did forget this week for a couple of days and I was really dragging. Taking them consistently seems to be the key for me. I hope it helps you!!

Hey Disney Fan, I was banded on 8/27 and can't have a fill until Nov 29th. I am so upset but there is nothing I can do. Insurance won't pay until then. I have read on my usual thread that you may need 2 fills. Please let me know how you make out. I am in the same boat as you right now.

Judi and Salsa, My Dr told me to take Vitamin B12. Did yours? If I forget to take it for a day or two I feel so tired. What a difference it makes in me. Good luck to you and I hope you feel energized soon! Jody

Alexandra, Maybe I will see you on November 29th! I am scheduled for 8:30. Good luck to both of us!! Jody

Hi Alexandra, I was banded on 8/27 by Dr. Bertha. I get my first fill on Nov 29th. My insurance pays 91 days after surgery. I am right there with you on trying to lose. Hang in there! Jody

Nicole, I envy you!! I was banded on Aug 27th and am having a hard time right now staying on track. I haven't lost anything in a couple of weeks. :think I called the Dr today and I cannot get a fill until 90 days after my surgery. I have an appt on Nov 29th. I really need one now. Anyone ideas on how to get back on track anyone???

Adding in another day.

2 days down....hope to beat my goal actually!!

Count me in please!! Name: Jody Exercise: walk 40 minutes at least 4 times a week

Congratulations!! Being taken off blood pressure meds is huge!! What a great weight loss too. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Lindsay, I am tempted to call the Dr's office to see if they can move up my appt!! I can't wait for an adjustment!! Keep up the good work!! Jody;)

Don't lose hope!! I was banded Aug 27th and I am down 18 and glad about it. We chose banding to do the slow and steady wins the race program!! Try to drink more water and up the exercise. You and I have about the same amount to still lose. You're doing great!! Jody from Jersey:clap2:

Lindsay, Believe me there are times I am starving!:omg: I also cannot wait until I have a fill. I plan to tell him not to be stingy with the saline too!!! Jody;)

Hi Lindsay, I was banded on Aug 27th and also see my Dr on Oct 11th. I am not sure if that is for a fill either!! I measure out my food just to make sure I don't go over the 3-4 oz mark. I will not lose anything unless I exercise. I am down 18 from the liquid phase. I am in the same boat as you. Jody

Toni, My fill is after Oct 11th when I see the surgeon like you. We can hang in there!! Jody from Jersey

Hi everyone, Been reading all the posts and boy have we come along way!! I was banded Aug 27th and feel great!! I am down 18 and hope to keep losing. I see my surgeon on Oct 11th to schedule a fill. He is a bit conservative!! Jody from Jersey

I am in the same boat Texas Becky! I was banded 8/27 and will not get a fill until mid October. I will do the same as Becky and take 2 lbs a week. No restriction is scary and a bit frustrating for me!!! Jody from Jersey :waytogo:

Thanks for posting. It makes me feel more comfortable. I go for a fill in a few weeks.:car:

Good for you Kathy!! You are inspiration to me. I am on mushies yet but the scale is not doing great things. Down 14 so far. I do get hungry!! Keep up the good work!! :clap2:

Shelli, I am on mushies until Monday. I was on for 2 weeks. My weight loss has really levelled off too. Jody
