That does seem odd. I had my third fill last Thursday. Think I am FINALLY experiencing some restriction. Keep us posted. Hang in there!

I go to the support meetings. We´re in southern Indiana. I find them helpful, especially when those who have been banded for a year or more come. Received my third fill Thursday, and think I finally am getting good restriction.

Well darling, step on that scale, take responsibility, and learn from it. This is a journey not a quick run to Walmart, so we are all learning. Sometimes we gotta live our life, and then we can say, ok, so that didn't work, better get back on the program! Sometimes we have to "draw back, to jump further."

I'm pretty much the same. Going for my 3rd fill Thursday, and hoping that will help. I´m walking a mile a day, and doing a 30 minute exercise DVD, something has got to give!

How cute are you?!?!

WOW Kiki! Good for you!

You just gotta do it! Recently I had been making some bad food choices. Go back to basics, strip your cabinets of things that trigger those bad choices. Think in your mind how you want to look, how you are going to look when you are at goal, think how healthy you will feel. Find an exercise you like, not one that is a chore. Have a dog? Go for a walk, dogs are THE BEST walking partners in the world. When my dogs see me in my exercise clothes they spin in circles, cause they know they are going for a walk. Don´t like to walk, check out a DVD, ask a friend to do them with you. Sorry to say, it we just gotta do it. Wish we could say to our Drs, "set me for 140 pounds," and voile we´re there. But as my Dr says, "we´re just the needle experts, you´re the one doing the work."

Nice to know I'm not losing my mind. Was worried did I stretch my pouch? But seems like we're in the same boat! Maybe I can get another fill next week. C'mon sweet spot!

Congratulations everyone!!!!!!!!

HOORAY for you Fran!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone is looking GREAT!

I´m so glad to read these posts. Was just telling my husband maybe something was wrong with me. Since losing the 30 pounds post op I´m stuck. I´ve had to fills, but still the scale isn´t moving, and I still get hungry. Most of the time I make good choices, I did another clean out of the cabinet though.

((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) to you BBK, gentle ones of course. Thinking how scary it must be, but we´re here for you. With or without a band. Melinda

If ever there is a Lapband SuperHero, it has to be you BBK, after all you´ve been thru. Hope they were able to help your choking problem.

WOW! Everyone looks GREAT!

Oh no!!!!!!!! Poor BBK. Please give her my love. This has not been easy.

I'm feeling a bit frustrated too Tonja. It´s like I´ve been fooling with the same 4 pounds for a month. GRRR. I have lost an inch in my thighs though in the past month.

Thank you! YOU are doing wonderful!

Thinking of you BBK. Hope all goes well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for letting us know what has happened.

I didn´t have those feelings of feeling weak, but then I got bronchitis a week out of surgery. gRRR. But I´m sure Dr Mac will have good advice for you. Each week it gets easier Rose Ann, it might not seem like it right now, but it does. Keep up the water, that will get easier too to get down. You might need more protein shakes. Sometimes I put in two scoops of protein. I like having them for breakfast cause they are fast. Hang in there. We´re here for you:thumbup:

YIPEE for everyone! I went to a theatre the other night, and had no problems with the seats. I can start to feel my ribs again! I´ve gone from 4x dresses to 1X too, well depending on how they are made.

Hi everyone. I weighed in today, have lost 34 since surgery on May 27th, 64 since I began trying to lose in November. Had my second fill last Thursday, and the scale has started moving again. WAHOO!
