No change for me this week I'm begining to dread my unfill last week. I may call and see if I can get a fill earlier than 8 weeks maybe half of what he took out (.25cc).

I'm reporting 210 this week I did hit 209 during the week but was at 210 today. I'm hoping my my unfill doesn't make me go the wrong way.

Woo Hoo that's great

Same here girls! I went to 208 for a couple days this week and then back to what I was last week 211. I see my Dr. on Wednesday I know I don't want a fill but not sure about having a little taken out. I'm hard pressed to get my water in...well not hard pressed I just can't mak eit happen...I'm able to eat OK now just not able to get water in till way after I eat and then not as much as I should.

I'm at 211 today. Heather you'll get it back off those bad food parties are tough good thing about drink with the less food we eat the drinks go further.

I lost presurgery using the 50 Million Pounds Challenge lost 40 lbs on this plan before my surgery. The 50 Million Pound Challenge

I do 8oz milk, one scoop of whey Protein powder then add either a tea spoon of SF/FF instant pudding and a bit of crushed ice or some fruit or sometimes both (frozen raspberries and lemon pudding). One of my favorite ways is a bananna and reduced fat Peanut Butter or frozen strawberries and RF PB.

That's GREAT!!!! Keep in touch........

Exactly what I'd do.

Uhm.....sure....lol The scale moved again my weight this morning was 214 getting closer to that "Onederland". This the thinest I've been for a very long time even when I was in the Air Force I pussed my max weight limit which was 199 if I lose that next 15 lbs I be the lowest I've been in probably 18 years. But like I said I was always pushing that 199 max weight so probably be longer than that since I was in "Onederland". Have a good weekend all.

I got the Wii Fit Plus and ES Sports Active for Christmas also I've only used the Fit program in pick and choose activities. EA Sports I've done the canned workouts a couple time I enjoyed it but it beat my butt. This weekend I got Walk It Out just used it for the first time by their calculation I walked 2.5 miles. It's fun and doesn't wear me out as much as EA Sports.

jg - glad your feeling better I;ve been getting better and better on my PB's and such also but had a lot of acid reflux I keep tums in my desak and at home. I hope your knee surgry goes well I won't be able to forget it May 11th is my B'day.

I hope you feel better soon. He's been gone for two weeks so he may be a bit suprised when he comes home for the weekend before going to Abu Dhabi for 39 days. I've been happy with my latest results till this week I did hit 216 for a day but today I'm at 217. Guess after the loss I've had the last few weeks I should expect to stall. I'm getting more water in now and able to eat a little more in the evenings the mornings are still difficult.

Ok time to revive the NSV thread. On Monday my supervisor told me I was looking particulary thiner, I gave my low self esteem beating and made some comment. Didn't think much about it then today one of my co-workers said I lookd good today. Then while walking through the building I ran into someone I hadn't seen for awhile and she commented that we hadn't ran into each other and that she was seeing "Less" of me...... But wait there's more...at lunch someone who used to work next to my group walked by and commented on how much thinner I was looking.

217 for me this week my fill seems to be really helping out although I'm starting to be able to eat more than I was I hope this momentum holds out for a little longer. Couple observations...I used The 50 Million Pounds Challange to lose weight before my surgery and still track my weight on that site. Wellllll......today when I entered my 217 I looked at my weight a year ago and on 13 feb 2009 I was at 320 that makes 103 pounds in one year. Second observation since my consultation I've lost 111 pounds I'm 1/3 the man I used to be.

In the morning yogurt is about all I can get down and I have to wait till about 2 hours after I get up to eat it. It keeps me full till lunch so it's not a slider food for me at this time. I also eating Soups they stick with me for a log while also. I'm going to try tuna salad for lunch this weekend and hoping it won't get stuck. I've been enjoying some good weight loss but if I'm still this tight at my next appointment I'm going to get a bit taken out.

Knewme I'm sorry you didn't get the support you were looking for your original post, Help I'm Bored, didn't indicate to me that you were having issues. I didn't reply because my eating isn't anything exciting. At that time I ate piece of sausage or a scarmbled egg for Breakfast. lunch and dinners are usually a pot of something like thick chili or Beef and Barley stew and had one or two Protein shakes a day. Since then things have changed for me. I have a lot of restriction and eat mostly yogurt for breakfast with Protein powder. Lunch last week was Chili but I have problems with spice now this weekend I did a can of chunky Soup one can last me most of the weekend. Today I made a piece of shoulder steak (beef) in the crockpot with a can of mushroom soup over top of it, I'm hoping it will be tender enough to go down. I hope this helps. Your are right that just because we've been banded for 10 months we still need help every fill brings a different twist to our journey.

I'm at 219 this morning. Made it past my first goal now on to the 100's.

I was banded on 4/10 I lost 40 pounds before that. At surgery I was at 288 and as of today I'm at 219. I've lost 69 pounds since surgery and 109 pounds total.

That first week I didn't want much of anything. I had a lot of boullion (sp) and SF popcicles.

WOW great work DueceCoupe. I weighed in at 225 this morning. That's 5 pounds over my first goal I'd like to get below 200 we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for your concern he's in surgery all day today so I'm going to stick out the weekend and call on Monday..... I made my self stick much more to the rules today and felt a bit better. This morning I didn't have anything till my band told me it was OK I had a shake then and had a yogurt cup about an hour after. We had a lunch thing today; you'd have died laughing. I ordered the soup. When they came to our table the guy that brought the food had sat the big tray behind a pole and gave everyone their food. All I could see was this little 6oz or so bowl….fine with me...he ladles the soup form something else into this small bowl and places the bowl in front of me. Then brings out this bowl about 5 inches wide and 6 inches deep......I ate the small bowl and still have a quart to eat over the weekend. If you go to P.F. Changs the bowl of chicken noodle is huge.

Man did I mess this post up.....LOL What an I.D. 10 T...

Well I'm going down again.... but I'm still debating getting some of my fill from 1/12 taken out. I've been sick most days I've adjusted my habits a bit yesterday I got so sick when I took my pills I slimed for several hours and my belly hurt then about 8am it was like my band said OK now you can have that yogurt you brougt took me an hour to eat it. Had my 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes for lunch and felt a big tummy pain. By 5pm when I meet someone for dinner before support group I ate about 1/4 cup of my soup and again tummy ache. When I got home I did have a SF Fudge Pop then at bedtime I had a couple sips of milk had tummy ache and slime for about 4 hours into the night. On the other hand I'm now at 225 it's actually a bit below that but since I had only about 16oz of fluid it may be a bit dry..... so I'll post 225.
