  1. Hello fellow Blackberry owner,

    I just wanted to announce that we are now able to purchase a WEIGHT TRACKER program.

    here is the info I found....

    Weight Tracker

    Trying to shed a few pounds? Or just want to keep tabs on your weight? Weight Tracker is a new app from Link-two that allows you to measure your daily progress. Track your weight, manage entries and watch as you progress (hopefully in the right direction!?) :) As with Emoticons! above, if you purchase before August 10 you could win a MacBook Pro.

    Just $7.99

  2. I should be ashamed I have a Wii Fit. Have had it since it first came out...DH preordered it... I killed it everyday..playing it and playing it....

    then we bought MarioKart....and downhill it went...

    No physical movement but loads of fun...that the fit just got put on the back burner...

    but based on the results...I will have to pull out back out again and give it a try on my routine for at least 30 days see what it does!

    but it is awesome!!


  3. Kanigag,

    I don't hear the grinding, but I can definitely feel it rubbing if I lay on my right side-which by the way is my favorite side to sleep on(i'm a side sleeper). So needless to say I have learned to toss and take turns at night between my right and left side. But when I do sleep soundlessly and do so on my right side where my port is I tend to notice I wake up really tight and hunger is controlled excellently on those days. Don't know if that has anything to do with it or not...

    but the pain is terrible and irritating.


  4. Gibson,

    I am so sorry your doctor is giving you such a hassle. I would definitely schedule an appointment and just start out calm and reasonable explaining the reasons why you need a fill. Maybe even practice on demand tears....might help...(hey , my co-worker just cried herself out of 1) LOL.....

    hang in there....oh...and stress the BAND IS MY TOOL and we are not using it if I don't have restriction!!!

    ......well my doctor said that to me......LOL

    If no results.....let him know you will be forced to get a 2nd opinion/doctor for fills.


  5. Ok guys...

    I went in and was able to get 3 cc's back in. I am back in heaven- love how restriction fills on a fill. Makes me feel in control. Which ofcourse I am.

    I still managed to loose 8 lbs during my unfilled stage of 2.5 months. I am so grateful. And this experience taught me that the band truly is my secret friend to longlife management.

    This is my 3rd fill...but my first since the unfill.

    I have already lost 1 lbs since 7/16 so I figure this fill will get me to Onderland!!!!

    Oh...and I love my doc...he recommended a 3 month wait until next fill, but he said if I stop loosing & have no restriction/and the scale plays the same 2-3 lbs up and down...definitely call in for a fill or even just come in on a Tuesday or Wednesday- that he has an open door policy for us...

    I looovvveee my doc....


  6. I do that too! Makes me so mad! I am obsessed...weighin myself every morning...can't help it...to break it....I either know I am eating way too low calories or I just go on Clear Liquids for 2 days....it works like a charm....I hate having to eat more though...because its like I don't have a middle ground I either dont eat enough calories or I tend to overeat...but then again that's why we are all here.


  7. I just got my 2nd fill YES!

    Too early to tell for restriction...I literally just got it 2 hrs ago!

    But I do feel the restriction I felt after surgery....I love it...it would be bliss to stay like this forever!

    My doc is very conservative too....I got 1cc in total of 3cc's. My next fill appt is 3 months from today...yikes....

    but I can call and harrass to get an earlier fill if need be...but he wants me to hang in there until July if possible....on the good note all my hard work and efforts paid off and i lost 8lbs from last appt.

    I guess we just need to hang in there...


  8. Congratulations. Can you believe that only a couple of months ago we were worried if we would be approved. My first fill is next Thursday. I'm excited about it.

    Good luck!

    I know can you believe it....I can't help and think of ...do you remember Amberwaves....was approved all go...and the day of surgery she decided not to go thru with it....I wonder how she is doing..

    The first fill is an exciting moment!

    I didn't feel anything until about an hour ago...when I realized....hey...I forgot to eat dinner(Soup mind you..) but I forgot...

    It feels like after surgery...when you felt the restriction

    7 weeks ago I would have laughed my behind off..if someone told me I'd forget to eat..
