I know your first fill is tomorrow, but please be patient. You may not feel a difference for a couple fills, sometimes more.

Anyone still here?

I'm good with cooked celery, but always "de-vein" it if I want to eat it raw.

I know this thread is a bit old, but thanks for the tip!

My band is almost full so maybe that's the reason but I cannot eat at the table with my kids.... the minute there is bickering etc my band tightens up and I'm done. I haven't had a fill in more than 18months so I'm just kind of used to it now. Thought it was just me!

Fenton- Thank you so much for posting about Dr. Drew and recovering addicts. You made me see that when I try to make everything a priority I am setting myself up for failure. I am a mom who works a high stress job, parents two children by myself bc my husband works on the road, etc..... I have to approach my recovery as a daily responsibilty. Thanks for the new perspective.

Special K- Thank you for taking the time to put it all out there. I too have been playing with the same 7 or 8 pounds for months.. and I'm in the same size I was this time last year. I used to live by this board and was doing what I was suppose to. I feel a certain responsibilty having the band. I work in health care and was the first in my facility to get it. Three followed me and none have been as successful. Two never worked the band and the third was able to loose about 80# (with no fill!!!) and then stalled. My band hasn't failed me...I'm not doing my part. I hate the looky lous to say, "see she did so well at first...." I don't want my lack of commitment or whatever to deter anyone from getting banded it was the best decision ever. Ugh guilt.... So knowing its me I have ordered a new bodybugg. It was a huge help the first year.... I need to commit to counting Protein if nothing else. There its in black & white. :w00t: Thanks for listening to me vent.

Finally broke my stall - note to self: starting steriods and bc pills during a WL challenge isn't the best idea!

Hey there ReAnnah! I used to live in Wheaterville- my mom and I still both have places there! Where do you work?

Nothing for me this week... TOM was here last week so I thought I would lose SOMETHING!!! Grr. I am 4 pounds from the 100# lost mark and I think it's causing some sort of mental block. I know the rules and I know what to do so why isn't my head in the game????
