Count me in. I'm starting later so I'm going to make a small goal of 8lbs.

Hi all, it's been a while scince I've posted anything here. The true is I hit a plateau. I wasn't losing or gaining. I even stopped going to the gym, which was a bad decision. I ended up gaining a few pounds over the holidays. At least it wasn't 10-15 like most holidays before. Anyway, I've had two fills since last posting. I am now at 5cc's and I finally feel like I have good restriction. It feels like the second or third week after surgery. It's great, yet I have PBed several times since my last fill this past Thurday. I'm not chewing my food properly and I am still trying to eat too much. When I feel full I still take another bit or two and of course, I start to slim or PB. Sorry - TMI. I hope this means I'm close to my sweet spot. I hoping to see some loss this week.

Well I'm experiencing the same. I have 3 cc's in my band but I am surprised with how much I can still eat. Also my hunger comes back quickly. For example I stopped at chick-fil-a and ate only 8 nuggets (only 260 calories) and a few fries and about 2.5 hours later I started feeling hungry again. I think this is mainly why my weight loss has slowed down to .5lbs a week. I'm hoping my 3rd fill will keep the hunger off and I start losing faster, but it will be a few more weeks until I get my next fill.

I also forgot to weigh in last week. I lost .5 lbs last week and this week after getting another 1 cc in my band (3 cc's total) I lost 1.5 lbs. Not a lot of exercise this week, in fact I haven't made it to the gym in almost 2 weeks. I'm making it a point to get there this weekend.

My ticker says it all.

Congratulations!! It must feel great.

I feel like I am eating too much as well. Plus my hunger comes back much sooner. I now have 3cc's and it will be a few more weeks until my next fill. My weight loss has slowed down to only 1/2 lb a week. At least it is something. I'm hoping I continue to lose and not start gaining.

Down .5 lbs I'm really late posting last Friday's weight loss. I figure I better post tonight before everyone starts posting tomorrow.

I'm down 2 lbs this week. That is the most for a week over the past several weeks. I am going to the gym to run/walk on the treadmill or eliptical.

Congrats 2Big4U!!! You do get use to the 3 min intervals. At first I thought they were way too long but I then got use to it. I'm on week 5 right now.

I have to laugh. I'm sitting here reading your post with a bag of chips in my hand. I justified it by telling myself that I had an o.k. day when it came to eating. But I have to admit I am having a hard time lately eating well. I had one fill of 2cc's and I have another one coming up on Nov 6th. I can't wait.

I just realized I posted this week's weight loss on last week's thread. Anyway, which ever thread you read, I am now down a half a pound this week for a total of 32 pounds.

Down .5 lbs this week. I was a little disappointed b/c on Thursday morning I was down 1.5 lbs and then gained a pound by Friday morning. Oh well. At least I am down from the week before. Total loss 32 pounds.

I think we wondered what we were getting in to at some point, especially immediately after surgery with all the gas pains. Anyway, seven weeks later, down 32 pounds and now exercising again I have to say...I was the best decision I ever made. Even on what I call a bad day (a day in which I eat more then what I should or not the healthiest choice in foods) I cannot eat as much as I use to before.
