  1. Ok, here is a secret...I used to work for Humana Military and the nurses that put referrals in would never not have somebody doing that while they were gone. Ask to speak to the manager....I promise you, referrals for your area are getting done by somebody for the next three weeks. You'll get buried in a pile otherwise....
  2. Wow, you've done incredibley well so far w/ your weight loss! Enjoy the new jeans :-)
  3. I haven't budged in awhile...I had a fill in January, so it has been 3 months....I scheduled one for next week hoping that will help...I think I can eat more now than I could back then. My anniversary is 5/22 and I am 13 lbs from my goal. However, I have been 13 lbs from goal for about a month now. How is everyone else?
  4. Sunshine you are doing great. Thanks for posting. It is good to see someone that has made progression over a longer time and with realistic numbers - for those of us that don't drop drastically fast :-)
  5. What is a "fluer de les" cut? Thanks
  6. Hooray, this slow loser just buttoned up her size 10 jeans!!! They ain't pretty (muffin top) but they fit :-)
  7. How are we doing May slow losers? I'm only down 2 lbs since the new year...but I've been lazy and grazing. Back to journaling and counting :-)
  8. Wow Jodi, you're doing awesome! I had my surgery the end of last May also....However, I have not lost a bunch yet but I am 1/2 way there anyway. This just may take awhile. Started at 32 BMI, currently 28.
  9. I take the gummies, 4 instead of 2. We buy them at Sam's club in volume :-)
  10. Hi all, went in for my 5th fill today...they added .3cc....not sure what I am up to now. I had lost 12 lbs since my last fill 3 months ago but in the last month nothing. I'm down total 25lbs and have 25 more to get out of the "overweight" BMI :-)
  11. I went from a 9 to an 8 and I've only lost 30 lbs so far. I was an 8 in my smaller days, so I am hoping they don't continue to shrink, wasn't factoring new shoes into my clothing budget!
  12. I haven't had trouble w/ my fills but it did take 4 fills, which put me almost 6 months post-op to feel restriction. I kept beating myself up for not losing much at all - and I was embarrassed. However, I'm going forward now and it took me longer than most to get to this point, but you'll get there :-)
  13. I've read pineapple juice or papaya tablets can help...lots of people have said that but I can't attest to it. Hope it is over soon!
  14. I officially made my goal of 185 by the end of the year. It makes me 1/2 way to my total loss of 50 lbs (my goal). I had my surgery 5/22/08, so I am not setting any records, but if I can do the other half in 7 more months, I'll be estatic!!
  15. Does anyone else have this problem? It is horrible, I am going to my family doc for it Monday. I drink, drink, drink my Water but my mouth feels like cotton. It has grown progressively worse since surgery. The only thing I can find is that it could be diabetes? I holy hope not...or a Vitamin decifiency? Thanks for you input!
