  1. Happy Birthday GiGiRN!

  2. Happy 46th Birthday GiGiRN!

  3. Everyone is updated. I have been off the forums for awhile. Life is hectic right now and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Keep posting and I will update but it may take me awhile. Sorry. Everyone keep up the great work. I am not weighing in this month as I am trying not to dwell on the scale. Gina
  4. Hello, All, I got everyone updated! Great Job. YVONNEB3....I would be glad to add you to the spread sheet if you want me too. Hope all it well with each and every one of you! Gina
  5. Wow, SingingDiva....you are really losing it! Good Job.
  6. Don, I am having some issues with throwing up frequently. However, the past 10 days were pretty good until yesterday and yesterday anything I put into my mouth came back up. I have now correlated this to TOM. A week before and during I obviously get alot of swelling inside and this is causing it. It was very nice to have some "normalacy" for a couple of weeks. I also lost 5 lbs. in that time so I know that when I am able to eat my body doesn't think it is starving and holding on to that FAT! I am only going to eat Clear liquids for a couple of days and see if that helps. These bands seem to be very fickle. Talk later, Don! Gina
  7. Don, Yes, that is WONDERFUL! You have this band thing down to a science. I have trouble eating many foods a lot of the time. It seems finding that right fill to hit your sweet spot is very hard. I am trying to decide if I need a bit of an unfill. I have 2.0 cc in a 4 cc band. I did better at the 1.6 level I think. I walk 4 miles 3 x week. Now that the weather (kansas) will be getting cooler, I will join a gym so I can circuit train. I see you do that so maybe I will see the pounds start to fall off as well!!! Keep up the wonderful job. Gina ;0)
  8. Great Job to all.....I know if you are like me, you have more energy, self-esteem, and just feel better overall. Everyone is up to date as of today! Gina
  9. Hey Guys and Gals, I do not know why but for whatever reason you all are having issues with being able to log in and update your form. It seems that google changed their format and this has made it difficult. I do not mind at all updating your weights so please just post them here and I will update every couple of weeks or so. You all are doing so well...keep up the great work. Gina
  10. Everyone is updated!!!....and doing great. Keep posting and I will keep updating. Gina:thumbup:
  11. OK. I finally got everyone updated that reported on this site. You are all doing wonderful. It is such an inspiration to see how well each person is doing. Big Dawg.....I want to see your picture! You are losing amazingly well! Gina
  12. Don, You are doing GREAT! Congratulations. 75 pounds is absolutely awesome. I got you updated! Keep up the good work. Gina
  13. Leslie, I got you updated!! Bea, It will always update you at the bottoms and I have to edit and move it up!! No problem. I just don't check this but on a monthly basis. Ya'll are doing great. Gina
  14. Hey, I would like to know if you could edit my info on the April Avenger spread sheet for me please?

    Today marks my 3rd month post-op anniversary and when I visited the Dr. yesterday I weighed in at 223lbs., which means I have now lost a total of 55lbs. in 3 months.

    My Dr. actually told me I had lost too much since the last time I saw him, so he did not give me another fill at this time.

    Thanks for your help, Laura (from Alabama)

  15. OK...I think what you now have to do (since they removed the place to fill out form) is go to the MORE ACTIONS button....Click on it and then chose the option GO TO LIVE FORM. It will bring up the form to add your info here. Hopefully you can submit it then. I will continue to read the post to see if anyone is having trouble. Sorry about this. Good luck to you all. You all are doing great! Gina
