My 8 month photos

That´s how it goes for me too H4H, almost to a T. I have an appointment on 1/22 for another fill.

Hope they get it figured out Dan. Patience is really difficult. Keep us posted.

Dearest Gone What a wonderful NSV! I am sooooo pleased for you. Keep up the good work!

that is fantastic Pattic!!!!!!!!! Way to go!

Hi Everyone Not checked in for awhile. Been super busy, hopefully that will change soon. But I´ve been a good girl doing my exercises, and got another fill the other day taking me to 8.4 in a 14cc band. Lost 5 pounds since then! This is a new experience, in that I´m super tight, and REALLY have to watch what I´m doing. In the morning I do my Protein shake, for lunch cottage cheese, and then by evening I can eat something with a bit more substance. Hoping this will be a good spot for me to loose. I´m ALMOST half way to what I want to lose.

Hi Everyone. Not been on for awhile, vacation, virus, all the "v" things. I´ve been feeling down a bit as well. My uncle who had surgery 2 months after me has now lost 100 pounds. HUH? Ran into a fellow bander who was banded in October and has lost more than me too. Before surgery I had lost about 30 and was at a stand still. I´ve lost over 40 since surgery. I wonder if because I had lost some before if that´s why I´m not losing as fast now. I´m faithful about exercise too. 5-7 times a week. I walk, and do DVD´s, and my brothers Wiifit. I seem to be losing inches, and when I look at old pictures there is a huge difference, but what does it take to make that scale go down??? A quick hurl down a flight of stairs?

Thanks for your reply. Never to late to get advice. Sorry you´ve had such trouble. I´ve been pretty good since June. Can tell a HUGE difference walking. If I keep up with my walking I do so much better. We were on vacation last week at the Outer Banks, and there were loads of stairs which irritated my ankles. Sand is difficult to walk in too. If I do have problems again I´ll check out a podiatrist. I work for Physical Therapists, and they give me hints, so that helps too. Thanks again for your advice.

Hi ThinDolphin, how is the new fill going? I´ve been away on vacation, so just now checkign in.

Thank you! It is definitely a new experience for sure. Hoping it will last. Glad to hear from you!

The new fill is working. Down 6.5 this week!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone Had the strangest thing happen. Two weeks ago, had a fill, bring me to 7ccs in my 14 APL. I´ve been fluctuating a lot, scale not really moving, but trying my best to keep a :tongue: good attitude. Thursday (two weeks to the day) I fixed scrambled eggs for Breakfast, took two bites and had that awful in your chest feeling. Thought that is strange. Went about my business, PBed We had friends in from Colorado, went to lunch, two bites of chicken, and the same thing all over. At dinner I had about a cup of white chili. It´s like the fill just really kicked in! Did some research and called my nurse, and she said you are not going crazy, this sometimes happens, and they aren´t really sure why. She had even called teh company in the past, and they aren´t certain either. So, I´m now eating 1/2 C of food, and feeling VERY full afterwards. I cannot wait to get on the scale this week. Maybe I FINALLY have good restrction!:wink:

Gonna have to try a class. Glad you enjoyed it Georgia Girl. You have always been an inspiration to me.

They measured me today. I´ve lost 34.5 inches. WAHOO!

Lost another pound last week. That makes 41. But the thing that made me really happy this week is I´ve lost a total of 34.5 INCHES!!!!!! WAHOO!

Well, I got the DVD, and it is too advanced for me at this point. Hurts my knees, and ankles. BUT I have it for when I´m ready!

Well, ya know we are girls, and we do like sparkly stuff :thumbup:

oooooooooooo I´m so pleased for you!

Well today was the fill. I thought I had 6.6ccs, but Dr was only able to get 6.4cc, he filled me to 7ccs...so 24 hours of Fluid and then we´ll see what happens.

Not sure where you live in Louisville, but Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville, IN has a GREAT support group. We meet once a month, the third Tuesday of each month.

Always makes me feel good when I read this thread. I´m still working my way to restriction. You know you get a fill, and it lasts a week or two. It must take more time with the 14cc band. Have a fill scheduled for Thursday. I´m at 6.6 in my 14cc.
