Niecey I love him. He's not the typical surgeon. Very nice, very caring. He did my DH, DS and myself.

Rumar your granddaughter is adorable!!!

I'm Wendy. I'm 47. My DH is Charlie. We have been married for 24 years--25 in June. We have two boys: Wes who is 21--22 in March and Ian who is 8--9 in April. We live in Murfreesboro, TN. Murfreesboro is south of Nashville. It's a great place to live. I have two paid jobs, but if you ask me what I do my response is always the same. I'm a MOM!! The paid positions are part time. I work at a hotel one day a week and teach preshool two days a week. I am wanting to return to school to get my teaching certificate. I love working with kids. My DH, DS and I were all banded within a month. We decided that we need to do this together. It has been a great thing for our whole family. It cracks me up though, when our 8 year old ask if this or that food will get stuck. LOL

Momto1plus1.......241...............238..............229...........9 You know, in my head I know I should be happy that I'm going down, but boy I was disappointed that I gained a pound last week. This week it's "Yea, me!!!" I lost 3.6 pounds at weigh-in.!!! The big "Yea, me" is that I have lost 30 lbs since October.

Hello!!! Wendy Rae, I'm Wendy Kay. LOL There aren't many Wendy's out there.

What cuties!!!! Thanks for sharing. No grandbabies at our house. I'm too young thank you!!!:smile: LOL Darn I have an 8 year old at my house. I don't know if I'm ready for babies. They are cute though. I work at a preschool and get my baby fix on a regular basis.

Happy Birthday Cindy!!!!! You know 30 was the number that sounded so old to me. 40 isn't bad at all. :smile:

I have a 10cc band. It was prefilled with 4cc during surgery. 2.2 cc were added at my first fill. I feel that I do have restriction, but not as much as I probably need.

I've never experienced what you are describing. I would contact my doctor if it continues.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling disappointed with yourself when you see what others are doing. I feel that way myself. I guess it's part of the insecurity that we all have. I'm determined that I will get this weight off. I'm not perfect. There are days when I don't do so hot. I've had problems with retaining fluids, due to medications. I just feel this is all part of my journey. It may not be pretty, but it's all I got. I've gotten where I won't look at what others are doing in the weightloss catagory. I just pay attention to me. I also understand what you were saying about weighing in each day. It's better to not know all the ups and downs. That's why many weightloss plans advise to only weigh in once a week. Big hugs girl!!! We will make it to goal!!!!

Being aware that there is a problem is the first step to fixing it. I have continued with WW because it's away of keeping myself accountable.

I really don't know what happened. Although this is typical of my past weight loss patterns.

Jacole, I love the new groups too. You know for me the hardest part was waiting for approval once I had completed all the requirements that the insurance company required.

Maybe your stomach is swollen from the fill. I would take it easy on the food. For me the ham would have caused me problems. I have noticed that meats like ham or dryer meats cause me some problems. I feel like I have a rock in the pit of my stomach.

I'm so excited about these new forums!! I'm Wendy. I was banded on November 19, 2007. I have lost 27 lbs since Oct. The surgery was a family affair for me. My DH was banded on November 14, 2007 and my oldest was banded on Dec. 17, 2007. I have about 100 lbs to lose. My first big goal is to get below 200. I just can't wait to see a 1 as the first digit in my weight.

I'm so excited to see the new changes. I love the more specific groups. I'm Wendy. I'm 47. I was banded on November 19, 2007. I'm married to Charlie for 24 years. We have two boys Wes 21 and Ian 8. We live in Tennessee. Oh, my DH was banded November 14, 2007 and my oldest was banded Dec. 17, 2007.

I just bought this same scale. This was after purchasing a Taylor scale that did the same thing. What I love about the HealthoMeter is that it's easy to get to your saved info. No scrolling through files. Just hit the 1,2, 3 or 4 button and you are ready.

I'm the same way. I really think that I need more of a fill. I'm working on not snacking. I generally do a good job.

I agree. My doctor is in Nashville. It's really not far away, but it does involve a trip there, which mean one of my days off is shot.

Holly I love challanges. I'm assuming that we will update weekly. name ........... starting# ..... current#.........goal#.......togo# Momto1(Wendy) 241--------- 241----------- 229------ 12

I'm down 27 lbs including the presurgery diet. I'm thrilled to death with that. As many of you know I still attend Weight Watchers. For me it's a way of keep on track and making it to goal. I've never told them that I was banded. Don't think it's really any of their concern. Any way I have lost 10% of my initial body weight and got my 25 Lb token.

Oh, wow three fills!! I've only had one. I'm at 6.2cc of a 10cc band. I could definitely tell a difference when they went to 6.2. My band had 4cc in it when I had surgery. My next fill is Jan. 30.

Tracy, I'm glad you knew what I was talking about. I wasn't sure what they injected in my scar, all I can tell you is it worked.
