Wow!!! It is so great to see everyone's success stories! I am down about 118lbs after my first year, I have had some ups and downs. I have discovered when I work to much or have an infection of some sort I tend to have a lot of issues with my band. I have two complete unfills and I am back to 2.5cc so I doing good. I want to lose about another 40lbs, my doctor has told me this is very possible, however take my time at this last part. As always still working on those good choices of food, dang I wish it was so easy to make the bad ones, but we just gotta do it. Check out my profile I just added a one year pic of before and now. I just wanted to add the before pic was four weeks post surgery and I was already down 35lbs. Good Luck everyone and thanks for all the support it does help!

I live in Avondale and would love to get together with you all.

I have had fluid taken in and out for the past two months. My scale has bounced back and forth. My doctor explained yesterday that my body needs to readjust and figure out what is going and to realize once you have hit that 80-90lb loss it is readjusting the weight will continue to come off, just most likely at a slower pace for awhile. Remember it is tool and you control how the tool works and sometimes it is just a slower than others ... be patient and remember this is a new lifestyle.

I hope this finally hits it for everyone! I had another fill yesterday. After feeling as though I was at my sweetspot and then getting sick and having some removed I am finally at a point where I feel I am getting back to where I was at. I wanted 1cc, but he said only .5 to make sure we are where we want to be and not another overfill. Scale has bounced up and down so much these past two months I just want it to slide down. I am definately planning on this being a better month. Good luck everyone!

Congratulations Cutie! You have done a great job! I at 94.5 lbs loss, I had a rough Feb/Mar. I had a unfill and just got a fill this week, so things seem to be going down again. Again Congratulations!

Well I haven't weighed in a long time, I had a rough month in February and had to have a partial unfill of 2cc. I gained some weight back and it was up and down all month. I finally got a full adjustment on Tuesday and dropped a few pounds, so I am hoping to be on the downhill road now. So, down a total of 94.5lbs since 8/8/08. Good luck everyone!

Rough week for me. Had to have some of my fill removed. Had over worked a lot the week prior and an asthma attack, so the doctor took our 2cc, said my stomach had inflamation to it. So I was up and down all week, managed to stay the same, but will have to be careful until next appointment. He will put 1cc back in if I can maintain or if I am struggling.

Wow looks like everyone is doing so good! What a beautiful Grandbaby, Shamrock! I haven't logged in in a while, but I gained a lb one week and then lost the past weeks, so I am down a total of 10.5 for the past three weeks. I getting close to that 100lb loss so I am happy about that, I will be happier to under the 200lb mark on the scale.

Way to go Everyone! Looks like we are all still trucking down that road, occasionally hitting some pot holes, but still heading down hill. I had a good week. Discovering putting a scoop of unflavored protein in my coffee with some s/f vanilla sure helps me make sure I get enough protein in. Last week 233.5 This week 229 So I am happy with my loss and I am going keep pushing. Have a wonderful week everyone!:thumbup: And of course GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone! I am down about a 1.5lbs this week. Not too bad. I had a huge loss the week before, so I expected little to none this week. Keeping up with getting in that protein can be difficult for me, since I been working so much, but I am working on it. I know you have to eat to lose. Have a wonderful week everyone!

I had a good weight loss this week. I worked too much and had a lot of stress, but what the heck I had a 4lbs loss, so I will take it. Though I know I have to be better at making sure I eat at the right times. It looks like everyone had a great week. I finally hit my 80lb loss mark so that is good thing... look out Hawaii I am on my way.

Well, it was an okay week, a loss is a loss I keep telling myself. I am sure it is going to slow down now. I am down a 1.5 lbs this week. But a I had a great NSV (non scale victory) I had to take a flight to CA on Monday and no need for a safety belt extention!!!! and there was room even better! Good Luck everyone!

Gosh I hope I started this thread right! I am always late weighing in. Anyways I had a much better week, threw out those Christmas goodies and concentrated more on protein. I am down 3.4 lbs this week! Good Luck to all and may all our goals be met in 2009.:biggrin:
