Good for you! Glad to see someone standing up for herself... However, you have to realize HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU AT ANY WEIGHT! I too, have a husband who loves and supports me at any weight... We are TRUELY BLESSED! Hang in there and good luck!

Good luck and Congrats!

Needing a fill. Am still "stuck" on a plateau of 57 pounds lost. Will have to call this coming week and schedule my 3rd fill. Got my pool filled today; the extra exercise this summer has to help me lose quicker!

Well, I have officially stalled. I know I need a fill, but I am self pay and my hours have been cut back at work. I will have to find the money somewhere. I have come too far to fail now! Still have some restriction and I can't OVEREAT, but I need to get the rest of this weight off. I wish I had done this earlier in my life. So much money and effort and many years wasted on the wrong diets! I know I am on the right track, and with the good Lord's help, I will make it through!

You sound a lot like me.. I too thought I was eating small/normal portions, until I got the band... After cooking for a few weeks and realizing I was throwing more out than I was eating, I realized how MUCH I HAD BEEN EATING BEFORE. My doc is very agressive with my fills, and I got to my "sweet spot" very quickly (only 2 fills) but now, my weight loss has slowed down. I was losing 1-1/2 pounds a week, then 1 a week, and now it is slowing down even more.. Guess it is time for another fill... Hang in there, I am sure you will get there like the rest of us......... SLOOOOOOOWLY ....... which by the way, will help us KEEP IT OFF! Hope to see "less of you"

Hey! So sorry you are having such problems! PB is "productive burp"... I have it quite often. I hope all goes well with your check. I am ready for my third fill, but I have such a full schedule this month that I am going to have to wait a while. I still have restriction, but I have slowed down in my weight loss.. I was losing 1 to 1-1/2 pound a week, but the scale didn't move for 3 weeks.. and then only 1 pound.. but hang in there! Don't give up yet! We'll get there together! God Bless!

Lol! my hubby has lost weight too! I quit cooking all those goodies, and he dropped too! lol! Keep up the good work!

Your family seems to be a lot like mine! My family actually asked IF I HAD LOST ANY weight.. That was AFTER i had already lost 51 pounds and had given them some of my clothes to wear that were TOO BIG for me now but seemed to fit them fine. They acted like I was lying about it or something! Family can hurt you quicker than anybody. Luckily, I have a good man at home that loves and supports me at any weight/size and in any endeavor i undertake! Count your blessings! I married one of my biggest blessings and gave birth to 2 others! Keep up the good work!

i go to Fill Center in North Carolina... I CALL THEM when i feel i need restriction! and if you ask for it, YOU GET IT! lol! Dr. Ahigan is very aggressive witgh the fills.. I have good restriction and still only losing about 6 pounds a month (healthy way to lose, but not what we all want, i know! lol) i want to go to bed one night and wake up skinny... but that's not going to happen! Hang in there! Like everyone keeps saying, it's not a quick fix but a TOOL! and it WORKS! don't give up too soon!
