    Wii Fit

    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!!

    Anyone from Georgia ??

    Hello Fellow Georgia Peaches! Just wanted to drop by...sorry I haven't been back in sooooo long.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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....
  7. hi guys! I have had a number of issues. But I have conquered and I am back. I have yet another appt tomw and I hope I can finally get back on track and refilled. I will post my story at a later date.... Nice to see the great results!!! makes me kind of sad ...I could be on the same boat with you guys...jeez in wonderland even! but it is what it wasn't my fault.
  8. I don't see a thread under our month for NSV's. But althought the scale hasn't budged we shall all have Non-Scale-Victories! My NSV scale dropped...BMI dropped...it is unofficially at 39.1 BMI. I would not qualify for the surgery....if insurance was paying for it!!!!!:crying: but will know officially on fill appt at surgeon's office-keeping that as my official weight-ins. What NSV do you have to share with us?
  9. Ok...I forgot...can anyone explain why we are on liquids after a fill again?

    What the heck is "rep power"?

    Losingjusme.. you look awesome!
  13. Kimmya....

    I have Blue Cross Blue Shield...

    Dr. Johnson is wonderful....

    My consult was sometime in late October...My preop was late November and my insurace doc's were sent in December pretty fast....everything went smooth until my insurance took exactly 30 days...with me harrassing them the last week almost daily....

    If you meet all the requirements and follow the packet Mildred gives you at Dr. J's office you will be fine....they are wonderful!

    I went in today for my 2nd fill. He is kind of conservative compared to others but what he is looking for is lifestyle change and consistency if you follow the band rules you will be fine.

    Perhaps we can meet at the next meeting.

    Share your NSV's!!!!!!!!!!

    I was told yesterday at work that I am looking skinny....I was like who me! yes love it...I just wish my "real friends" would mention it to pep me up...sometimes that support is much needed on a tough I just want to eat until my heart is content kind of days..

    Serious Question

    Funny I asked my doc that same question. Some days I can really feel and am paranoid about it ....other days...I don't feel a thing...but I love my love affair with it...I have it and nobody knows!

    To Office Slave and Others I Offended

    the winner of what? what is this about?
  21. 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.
  22. I lurk sometimes at work...because now we are not allowed to post messages while at work....but when I am off...no lurking...I wouldn't have over 500 posts otherwise...but If need be...I'd be on this site 24/7 it helps keep focus and morale up... love it!
