Last week 259.6 This week 258 1.6 pound loss this week, but that was within the first two days and nothing since then. I hope this doesn't last long.

Congratulations!!!! I am sure it was worth the trip no matter how long it took. Can't wait to join you.

I flew home for a visit a month after surgery and I had no problems. I am sure you will be all right. Now roller coasters I will never be able to answer on because I haven't been on one since I was 12.

Just curious as to why you are using this diet? Is it just another step on the lap band journey? Is it just for convience as they have great recipies to follow? Are you using the new improved South Beach or the old one? So far, knock on wood, just following the one cup serving has worked well for me, but I know the time will come when it isn't working and I would love to have a back up plan. Keep us posted on how you are doing on this plan.

Thanks Jodi. Hope it stays this time.

Last week 262.6 This week 259.6 Three pound loss this week. I am now in the 50's. So glad to reach that number.

This is wrong again. I just corrected it last night. Whats going on here?

Down 3 pounds this week. Only 3.6 to reach goal. This really might happen. I love my band. ******NAME**********START WGHT****CURRENT WGHT*******GOAL********LBS.

My doctor told me as long as I am losing and not starving between meals he won't give me a fill. I was upset at first, but now I understand. I don't want to have to have ps after my weight loss so I will be patient. Hang in there you are doing great.

I am sure it is like everything else here, in it depends on the doctor. My understanding with mine, (Tricare) is that they are covered with just a co-payment (12). I am hoping that this is correct as some of the posts on here say that the fills are expensive. He explained it was part of his plan at this time and I would be grandfathered into it in case it did change in the future

Vegasgirl you are doing great. 40 pounds lost. It sounds like you are doing ok to me. I know it is hard to remember to measure your food, but it does help. Our eyes have a way of letting more on our plate if we leave it up to them. Good luck with your fill.

What a wonderful thread. I am thankful for my new life. I have a goal of 8000 steps a day and this week I topped it. Two days I walked over 10,000 steps. That is wonderful as in June when I started this journey, I was winded when I walked to the car. Life is wonderful today.

I would hate to think the show was rigged. I hated it when two years or so ago, one member drank so much water that he gained 14 pounds in one week as a plan to get rid of someone. This show is such an inspiration for me, but I know I couldn't go on the show and do all they do. They have in the past had some one from a previous season come back and demonstrat something to the new group and I would love to have Ali come back so we can see how she has done since the show. I was surprised they let him on the show with all the medical problems that he had as they are liable for anything that happens to the contestants. I do believe he maintained a lot of fluid and that was why the gain, besides the fact that they didn't do much while at the Grand Canyon as far as exercise. At any rate, I believe in the show and what it does for me if not the contestants on the show.

My understanding that beer was a no no, just like pop because of the carbonation, which made me unhappy as I love a cold beer on a hot night. But if I can get along without pop, I can get along without beer.

I went for my first fill on 09-18 and didn't get one. I was a little upset by it, but knew I was losing weight and inches so I didn't get too up set. I was asked if I was hungry and I said no. That was the deciding point I guess. The very next day, I noticed that by 11:30 am, I was getting a hungry feeling and again at about 5:30 pm. My lunch is at 12:45 and I eat when I get home around 7 pm. But it wasn't that I was starving, just a little hungry and it made me think about what I had always heard when dieting. It is when you are hungry that the body starts to use your body fat. Now whether this is true or not, I don't really know. Is this an old wive's tale we have heard for years? At any rate, I decided that I wasn't going to worry about getting a fill as long as I was losing, either weight or inches, until I was getting to the point that I was starving between meals. Please give me some feed back on this as I would like to know I am going in a good directions. Thanks for all the help this website has given me all ready.

Congratulations Gadumplin. What an accomplishment!! I have only been walking so far. But, I have gone from being winded walking to the car to walking daily. My goal is 7000 steps a day and my nsv was on Wednesday of this week when my step count was 10625. Quite a victory for me. By the way, I just turned 59 so we can do it.

Four pounds this week. Made me feel good after last week. It is going so slow, but it is going. Walking a lot more this week.

I went on a last supper phase for about a month and gained 10 pounds. On June 29th, I decided that was the wrong thing to do and started dieting. It really helped knowing I was going in the right direction. After all, how many last suppers can one have. I know it was a normal thing to do, but I am glad that I was able to get my mind in the right place before I gained a lot more weight back. Hang in there, it does get better.

only .4 of a pound, but I'll take it. I was on vacation and was glad that I didn't gain a whole lot.
