suzanneg: I was so glad to see your post. I have been considering doing weight watchers online lately. I was banded in June of 07. I had lost down to 164, but have gained back about 6-8 pounds. I feel like I am at a good restriction level, so I don't need a fill. I just feel like I need to get a little better structure to what I eat. I need some rules to stick to and am hoping that weight watchers will help me find the structure that I need. I would love love love to lose what I gained and then lose the next 30 pounds that I need to lose. I look forward to seeing how you do.

Too funny. I guess mine haven't said bye bye completely, just seem to be saying hello to my belly button these days. Can't wait to get a lift.

Hi. I had such good intentions when I posted my goal. I guess my check-in is that I haven't lost anything. I got fill 2 days ago, so I am hoping that will kick things up a bit.

15.2 pounds??? Really????? I need a fill like that!

I am in. I am just a little worried that I won't be able to do it. I have been at a plateau for 6 months now. Name........Challenge start wgt.......current wgt.....chall. goal.....To go.

Also, I think that the cyclic weight thing is common (atleast I think for us women). I know I only lose the week of and after my period. I just try to make sure that I maintain during the other weeks.

I had my surgery on a Wed and went back to work on Monday.

I was at Disney last week with work. Luckily most of our food was provided and was very healthy, but for lunch we were on our own. I actually brought my own. The parks are ok with that and you save a TON of money. I used the money they gave us for lunch to buy souveniers.

I switched to Unjury about 3 weeks ago. I bought the Chocolate and mix with light vanilla soy milk. I absolutely love it. It isn't that great mixed with water, but with the soy milk it tastes like chocolate milk.

Here are my 6 month pics. I should have stuck with taking the picture in the kitchen as usual. In this picture I look as big as our Christmas tree.

AudricIan - Won't your husband see your incisions at some point prior to you telling him?

Are you sure that it is a 9.75 cc band and not a 9.75 cm band. The 9.75 cm band only holds 4cc from what I understand.

I don't have problems with cold drinks, but I have put my cappuccino flavored protein in coffee that is warm, but not boiling. If the water is too hot, the protein will clump. I make mine 2/3 hot water and 1/3 tap water.

I agree with Lisah25. I think I do better when I focus on what I am doing bad. A lot of times getting that one thing in check gets everything else back in balance. For example I love chocolate. Well, if I get to where I am eating a lot of chocolate I tend to feel like I failed and I "medicate" my failure with chips and cheetos and snack cakes. So if I don't eat the chocolate then I don't end up eating the other stuff either.

I am so glad that somebody else thinks these things are almost as good as candy. Right now I can control myself with just 1, but I sure do hope that one day I don't binge on calcium chews and overdose.
