Nutritional Testing
WOW, I would think your PCP would want to make sure everythings ok with you before this surgery, Ande as Becky stated above makes sure your tickers all good for your marathon running. I would go and talk to her again and maybe she will change her mind.

November Nymphs Summer Kick-Off Weight Loss Challenge
Thanks Holly. Also my fills cost $350.00 each. So if I can do this without having to get too many fills then thats more money in the pot for a Tummy Tuck down the road. :-D Lord knows I am gonna need one and maybe a Breast Lift. My poor girls are sure deflating and heading down, down down.

November Nymphs Summer Kick-Off Weight Loss Challenge
I have noticed I can eat more lately then I should. I know that I could use a fill, But I am waiting till I come back from my 2 week vacation as I am really afraid to be too tight in Cancun. I just don't want to chance having any problems. so I have really been trying to live by the rules I have learned these past 6 months and only eat the same small amounts I was stuck at a platue for a few weeks but the scale is moving down again. :-D I have a fill scheduled for June 30th. a few days after we come home from vacation. My last fill was Feb 26th. some days it is hard to resist the urges to eat the bad things, But then I remember why I did this and that I have lost over 60 lbs and down from a too tight size 20-22 to a getting loose 14. I love my band and I love that this tool is available for me to work with to better my life!!!

I'm so proud of us!
I agree. And since I haven't told anyone of my surgery except for DH and kids, it can sometimes get hard and make me want to fall off the band wagon. But then I come on here and chat with my LBT friends and it gives me a surge of willpower and I remember why I am doing this again. so thanks everyone for sharing this journey with me also.

Send your luck my way!
I agree with you, I never thought I would be jealous of a rash either.:thumbdown:

Getting an un-fill during vacation??
I am going on a 2 weeks vacation to Cancun on June 13th. I will not be getting an unfill, BUT I did not get my fill last week like I was scheduled to. I still PB every so often and I really DONT want to have any problems in Cancun. I already have my fill scheduled for the day after we come home.

Anytime I eat one of hubbies fries I get stuck. Also non toasted bread, and lunch meat always gets me.

does this get a little easier???
I've only had 2 fills, last one was Feb 26th. I have 4.5cc in my 10cc band. I cancelled my fill for today as I don't really need one yet, I am still losing, I have a little restriction and I sometimes get stuck. I am trying to work with the band and not depend on it competely for my weight loss. It is a tool to help me regain my life.... Great Job Indiogirl, You Rock!!!
