Thanks! I have a quick question for you all. What is or will be your next goal once you reach onderland? Now that i'm finally there, my next big goal is to reach 160. I am 5'7" so i'm fairly tall, and I don't think I want to go any lower than that. At least for now. So that's my next step. Yours?

i finally arrived to onederland! i am 199.0 as of today. i know it will fluctuate, but i don't care, as of this second i am in onderland. the next step it to really be in onderland and stay there!

I am now 200.8. Can't believe i've lost 2 lbs. since yesterday. It usually takes me a week to lose one pound. I know my weight will fluctuate a couple of pounds, but for now, it's exciting to see 200.8 on the scale.

202 lb. right now. I don't even remember the last time i was under 200. I was probably a kid!

Today I weigh 203.0. So close. :wink:

5 lbs left. The kitkat bar I had tonight probably wont help any. Opps.

It took me awhile to eat solid food after my last fill. I would say it took me almost a week of just liquids and solids. Now i'm able to eat solids as long as it's in small bites of course.

6 pounds until onederland, and i'm on my period right now. I usually gain two pounds around this time.

i'm still at 208. doh!

awesome! 8 lbs away myself.

i'm 10 lbs. away from onderland. i can't wait!

well i just got back from my appointment. they said my band is fine, and i got a 1cc fill, bringing me to a total of 8cc in a 10cc band. sheesh. the nurse said the barium went down fine, but to come back in a month to make sure my pouch hasn't expanded. i guess she wasn't able to tell then? so i guess i'm not as scared anymore. i do know that i will be very conscious of what i eat and how fast i eat. i can't seem to get that down still. i still have a weird pain in my chest, and i've also lost 8 pounds in two weeks. weird! i've been on liquids for four days, and since i had a fill, i will be on liquids for another 2, then mushies for the following two days. anyway, thanks for listening.

I heard that a complete loss of restriction could be a sign too. The weird thing is i've lost more weight now that I have less restriction. Today I ate something way too fast and felt restriction, but no pb'ing. So i'm not sure what is going on. Usually when i would eat something too fast I would be throwing it back up right away. I'm still leaning more towards a slip, it's just what my mind is telling me. :Dancing_sorry:

thank you for your comment. i'm working on not stressing right now. also, i'm feeling a dull chest pain when i breathe in deeply. so that's also scaring me. it's just strange from going from restriction and then the next day i could eat two chicken enchiladas, and a side order of rice and Beans, as well as chips and guacamole. i didn't eat the entire meal, but i ate a good portion of each. of course that wasn't the healthiest of meals, but i rarely eat like that. it was just a stressful day. thanks again! i wish my appointment were sooner.

i was banded in april of this year. i have 7cc's in my band, and have been doing pretty well with restriction since i have 7ccs. but sometime last week all of a sudden i had no restriction whatsoever. i just feel weird like my band slipped. i already set up an appointment for the 25th, but i just need to vent. i was self-pay, so i'm keeping myself up at night worried that my band slipped and i will have no money to pay for another one. also, that i am still paying for this one. how heartbreaking would it be to pay for something i no longer have. maybe it's just my me being too worried, but it's almost like i can tell something is wrong. i hope it's not the case, but it's killing me waiting like this. anyway, thanks for reading if you did.
