I am staying on plan today because I want to see the scale move down again!

OMG you look AWESOME!!!! :tt2: It is so nice to hear that you not only were able to lose the weight, but you have also been able to keep it off! Thank you for sharing!

I am staying on plan today because I deserve to feel better about myself!

:cursing: I have been so bad the last couple of weeks, so tonight I decided to find this thread and make a promise to myself. Tomorrow I am staying on plan because I feel really bad about myself when I do not stay on the plan. I feel so much better when I eat right.

Congrats Hazeleyegrl1 on making your goal!

Thank you Sades! It feels so good!

I'm finally here!!!!! I am a few days late, but I am HERE!!!!!!!!

I am staying on plan today because I didn't over the weekend and I feel like crap!!! I want to be in ONDERLAND, so I am staying on plan today.

I am staying on plan today because yesterday I didn't and I feel horrible about it :biggrin: . So today is a new day and I am going to eat right!

I am getting closer! I have 6lbs to go. I am hoping to be in Onderland by the end of the month.

I am staying on plan today because I am getting closer and closer to ONDERLAND and I can't wait to get there!

I am staying on plan today because I need to. I have been feeling really good this week and I don't want to blow it.

I am staying on plan today because I am going on a really nice vacation this summer and I would LOVE to be able to wear a bikini!!!

If I walk by the scale I usually end up on it. I agree it gets to be depressing because I am not losing as fast as others, but I keep doing it anyway. :smile:

I made the decision to only tell my DH (of course) and my mom. I did this because I know a lot of people that had bypass and have gained most of their weight back. I didn't want anyone to judge me or watch what I was eating. I am VERY glad I did this because I am losing slowly. Everyone around me is noticing I am losing weight and I just tell them I am watching what I am eating and eating less and that is not a lie. I think it is a personal decision, but just know that once you tell people you cannot take it back. Maybe once I get near or at goal I might tell people.

Hi I am 30 years old and I live in the Phoenix area. I got my band in September. The weight is slowly coming off, but coming off!

I originally had 90lbs to lose, but know I have 60lbs to lose. So either way this is where I belong. HELLO EVERYONE!

My NSV's are: I am finally wearing a smaller size in clothes. My face is thinning out. I am starting to enjoy looking at myself in the mirror again. When I look down I can actually see my feet again. ( I need a pedicure!) My 42DDD are now a 40DD (Don't want to lose to much of these) Every time I see people I know they all comment on how "skinny" I am getting (LOVE IT) I am starting to feel like a WOMAN again. I can't wait for more!

That is what I was worried about and that is why I chose not to tell anyone other than my DH and mom. I know alot of people that have had the bypass, so I knew that if I wasn't losing weight like they thought I should I would hear about it. Since you have told people now might be a good time to educate them on how the band works. Good luck

So far I have had 2 fills and I don't notice that I have a signal to stop eating. I guess I need to start paying more attention to my body. For those of you that don't have a SOFT STOP, how do you know when to stop?

I live in Mesa and had my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. I went back to Mexico for my first fill just to make sure everything was ok with my band. When I was down in Mexico I met a woman that also lived in AZ and she told me about Wendy Hall. Wendy does fills for Mexico patients. She works for Fill Center USA, but also does fills on the side for less. She charges $100. I decided to have her do my second fill. I have also read on this forum that there is a Dr in Flagstaff that does fills for Mexico patients. I have never seen him but his name is Dr. Berger. I know there are some people that think going to Mexico is a mistake. I was nervous about my decision at first, but once I got to the clinic and met Dr. Ortiz all my fears went away. I have had 3 previous surgeries and I can tell you that my experience in Mexico was 100% better than the experiences I have had in the US. Just do your own research!

My NYR's are: Lose more weight and reach my goal weight Learn to take better care of myself (physically and mentally) Stress less (that is going to be HARD) Find a hobby or two

It's slowly coming off, but coming off!!!:rose: Stacy 73… 51 TulipStar…22 Mdicurn…30 time4me…27.8 Magooz07…11 Caresarn…16 georgia girl…51 Lapband4me...32 Sirusman…67 Allisarin…23 Tishamarie…49 EL1…23 Juliacleone…27 Kimmie…45 dsmit13…23 ScareDcat…40 Lapitup…22.5 mandi78…23 andrea71…28 Thinmom…23 Kellymovingon...35 flipper64...30 kagoscuba...37 Lucylu...15 Gurlygirl....27 Amber...39 suzygayle....40 Linda E......24.5 lbs Texrose 575 .....24.0 lbs Jennie1976...18 lbs itstime....23 lbs eastxnurse....30 lbs wannabthin...29.5 lbs
