*wnt2lose*

I am down two pounds since the last time I weighed in. Slowly moving down the scale. Have a great week!

I am down this 3.2 in two weeks. I didn't get a chance to log in last week. There was a few months there that I hardly lost anything. Very happy the scale is moving in the right direction. I am at a sweet spot, at last, 7.4 in a 10cc band. Have a great week!

Hi everyone, I am down 4 pounds this week! I am excited!! I had a fill last week and it seems to be working for me. The kickboxing I'm sure is helping too. I finally hit the 50lb loss! Have a great week.

Wohoo, I am down 3 pounds this week.... I am so excited the scale has been moving! Have a great week!

I am down 2 pounds since the last time I weighed in. I had another fill a week and a half ago. So, I am at 7.2cc in a 10cc band. So hopefully with this fill I can lose at a little faster rate. My doctors is happy with my weight loss, it's only been about 1 pound a week. That is just the way it goes... Have a great week!

I am down 2 pounds. I had a fill on Tuesday. My band seems to be at a good spot now. I have been bummed with my slow weight loss. But, the NP says I am losing what I should be. So, I have nothing to complain about... Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

I am down 1.8 this week. I'll take it. I finally feel like I might be close to my sweet spot! I go in for another small adjustment on Monday.

188 for me today, down one pound. I am a little nervous about Thanksgiving this week. I am still able to eat more than I think I should be able to at this point. Have a great week ladies!

Count me in! I seem to be a slow loser so I am going to say 8 pounds by January 1, 2009. Start 189-----180 goal

I am down .4 this week. I had my third fill on Monday. I was hoping to have lost more this week.

I am down 3.4 pounds this week! I am finally out of the 190's... I have been there for at least 6 weeks. Happy Haunting!:teeth_smile:

I am down 1 pound this week. I'll take it! I want the scale to move like the rest of you. It's been a slow journey for me. I go get me second fill next Tuesday. btw, I have a 10cc band that they put in 5.2cc in at surgery, my first fill they put in another 1cc so, I now have 6.2cc in my 10cc band. That seems like alot at the beginning after a first fill? I still have no restriction? I wonder if it depends on the size of your stomach at the time of surgery on how much they put in? any ideas?

I am finally starting to see the scale move again. I am down 2 pounds this week. I have been one of those who haven't lost anything for a few weeks. I have had very little to no restriction. I can eat anything! I have been exercising 4-5 times a week. I keep plugging away... the weight has to come off some day!

Next summer is my 40th birthday! My two sisters and I are planning to go on a girl friend cruise... Of course going to get a big family picture and lots of shopping too.

I am down two pounds this week. 197 I need to start exercising this week, now that I feel back to normal.

I am one week post op! I am feeling really good. My weight this moring is 199.0, down 2.5.

I am down 6.5 this week. I was banded on Thursday the 21st. so, no walking yet for me. I hope to get out soon to get a little in. My doctor doesn't recommend exercise for 2 weeks. Did you guys just walking as soon as you felt good?

Thanks! I am so excited!! Getting a little nervous though. I also hope I have a speedy recovery, I don't have much down time. I am hoping Monday I can get around pretty good. I have had 4 C-sections, so I think I know what the pain will be like, sitting up, laying down and so forth. I have to drink magnesium citrate today and thats it, nothing else except clear, sugarfree liquids. Hope I make through the day. The hardest thing for me so far is not being able to drink diet coke!! It's been over a week!! Getting a little grabby My new life with be way better then the Diet Coke!

Judie, Thanks for the insight! I will be banded this Thursday, I can hardly wait. I hope mine goes as smoothly as yours. Feeling great after six days! Jackie

I finally got my date! August 21st!! Now that I am an offical August bandster, I can now sign... August All-Stars!! Wow, this is moving fast...I started on July 8 and will be banded 6 weeks later! yippeee.... I am glad it went pretty smooth though. A little about myself. My name is Jackie, I have been married for 16 years. We have four boys, 16,14,11,5. I am a mostly a SAHM, work for the school a little. I volunteer alot of my time. PTA, Boosters, MOPS. Next June is my 40th birthday and I am planning on doing it BIG. Hopfully close to my goal weight, going on a cruise with my sisters to Celebrate my 40th. I have plenty of motivation to loose this weight! :biggrin:

I got it!! I got my approval letter today! I am calling the coordiator first thing tomorrow morning to set my date! I am soooo excited! :thumbup: There is not enough smiley's to show my excitement.:biggrin2:

I live about 90 miles from my doctor. So, they had everything scheduled for one day. I thought it was great. But, it was a long day. I am still waiting for the insurance company to send that approval letter...I have been checking my mail the last couple days! Hoping today will be the day. They said I should get a letter in 7-10 days. The coordinatoor had all the paperwork send in on 14th so it is now the 10th day!! Jackie:thumbup:

Hi everyone! I am hoping to be an August bandster as well. I am just waiting for my insurance approval. Hoping to hear in the next week or so. I am so glad this board is here for support and encouragement. I look forward to being a loser!! I am so ready for a change! Jackie:biggrin2:

Hi, I am also near Minot. I am having my surgery in Bismarck, hopfully in August. They have a nurse that comes to Minot the first Tuesday of every month to do fills. Call the Mid Dakota Clinic PrimeCare at Arrowhead for details.
