Well here is my stomach before/after aug 08/nov08. Don't mind the stretch marks....lol....I dont know if the pics will show...dont know how to do it.

Yes !!! I need the extra motivation. I have fallen off the bandwagon... My goal is to loose 10lbs by 1.1.09 current 213.8lbs goal 203.8lbs Good Luck Everyone!!!

Hey Everyone! I have been MIA. I started a new job two weeks ago and it has been kicking my butt...lol...Last time I weighed in i was 217 today well saturday because I was half dead at 5am yesterday to remember, I am 213.8lbs. Slowly but it is going. So I am down 3.2lbs!

Happy Halloween 10/24 214.8lbs 10/31 217.0lbs Up 2.2lbs Obvious reasons: Bad eating decisions(unos, fridays, Portuguese cuisine, smokey bones, pizza, halloween candy) NO restriction in my fill....ummmm lack of exercise....Stressed out beyond belief...Start a new job on Monday hopefully my stress will be relieved.....

I am getting there slowly!!!! 15.6lbs to go!!!!

Well..... 10/17....215.6 10/24....214.8 So .8lbs is better then nothing!

Congrats! That is truely the best feeling in the world! I realized it last week too!

Good Morning! I am sooo happy and thank god for a fill last week!!! 10/10 219.8 10/17 215.6 I LOST 4.2lbs!!!! :thumbup::rolleyes2::thumbup:

I haven't checked in over 3 weeks...I have been really discouraged....I was almost back to regular eating habits and this week I had a fill and I am not sure if it worked yet...I had to return to liquids and so forth... sooo... 3 weeks ago 219.4 Today 10/10 219.8

All my son ever wants to eat is linquica and mac and cheese.

Thank you! I wish I could cook and put it away...I can only stretch leftovers until the next day. I work in food Microbiology so I have a problem with it even ifyou freeze it...I am a weirdo....but i have to try something....I work 7 days a week because I am the sole supporter of my son and household...I have to do what I have to do.

So I did great at first and now Iam just discouraged....my bad eating out habits have returned but obviously not in great amounts of food. I just have no motivation at all...I haven't lost weight in about 4 weeks and I got for my first fill finally on Wednesday after 8 weeks...I feel like I have failed....I dont like alot of foods so I become picky....I am just stuck and need help...I am always on the the go so it is hard for me to prep meals for the week and cook...I probably cook at home 3 times a week....I work 60+hours and have a 4 year old so I am always running around....Anyone else in the same boat or any suggestions...I am completely drained after work and never want to go to the gym... I have been 1 time....

I can eat anything...I am starving and I cannot wait for my first fill! October 8th cannot come fast enough.

Good Morning! Yeah I know I am surprised myself that I have lost that much and I am not restricted at all. My first fill is not until October 8th so I cannot wait. I had my first experience with frothing/sliming last night... It was crazy but I just walked around and the food went down...I have a problem with eating to fast.

Welcome fellow New Englander! I am on the RI/MA line! I was banded in Boston in August and it was the best choice I have ever made! I cannot wait to see the results....Good luck to your whole family on your journey into band land!

My doctor said that it can cause blood clots and it is just for safety....I am dying to get back on it.....

9.12.08 220.8 9.19.08 219.4 I am down 1.4lbs for the week! :thumbup:I am superexcited since my hunger is soooo strong this last two weeks! I still have to wait until October 8th for my fill! 8 weeks they do it at!:thumbup:

I am superexcited that I am going on vacation in 11 days to vegas! I am going to see some of my sorority sisters....I am superexcited but there are going to be sooo many temptations on there!

Oh I can eat a lot....Doctor told me it was normal....

The nurse told me that I have to wait until my 8 week check up to ask the doctor if it is okay....Sh*t!

I completely understand! I cannot drink another protein shake...I am gagging on them! Hopefully after my fill I have to do two days liquid and I can get them down! Good luck everyone!

Well i had to stop the pill 2 months before surgery and I was wondering when can I start it again? I called and left a message for my doctor but as for doctors it could be a couple of days before I hear anything.

That is what I feel like! I can eat anything! Nothing gets stuck. Is this normal? I am not eating no where my before habits but still I feel like I am just a disposal. I have to wait 8 weeks for a fill and that is not until October 8th. I am sooo afraid of gaining weight but eggs just dont do it for me anymore...I am just starving! Anyone else experience this?

I kind of wish I experienced this because I can eat anything!
