What would you like to do/acheive once you have reached goal??
amberstar replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in The Gals' Room
Ahhh.... when I lose all my weight I want to.... 1. Cut my hair. Being fat causes insecurity, and everyone compliments me on my hair, so it's my security blanket. 2. Not have to suck it in all the time!! Breathe!! haha 3. Go on vacations and not be restricted due to my weight! Example: In Vegas I couldn't keep up with my friends on the strip, the walking was too much and my feet and knees were killing me. In Cancun, I wouldn't go scuba diving cuz I didn't want to be seen in bathing suit... you get the idea. 4. Do & think about ANYTHING other than my weight! It has consumed my life for too long, and I cannot wait to have that monkey off my back and enjoy living! -
Hey lovely, I'm so glad your fill went well! I knew it would
How many cc's do you have now?? I'm sure you'll keep losing my dear. I was bad yesterday, I had Ben & Jerry's... But I was on vacation! hahaEverything is good here, we're back from the mountains. My hubby has to work tomorrow, so I'm going house hunting. It's so much fun!
I'll try to get in chat sometime and say hi! Have a great night! Muah!

Amen Jackie, I would go into debt a million times over to be healthy and feel better about myself. If I could watch what I eat and had the motivation to excercise I would have done it ten years ago... some people need the band and will do anything and pay any price to make their lives better. Good luck to everyone!!

My brother liked it! ha. First thing he said. Took my mom a minute to warm up to it, but she liked it too, haha.
Got me some yummy tea! I hadn't thought about gatorade, I'll have to get some of that. I did get some protein bullets from GNC, if I mix them with lemonade they are yummy.
Are you all packed??

Finally some restriction
amberstar replied to Divamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know how you feel!! I just got restriction 3 days ago and it's awesome! Now I know what this whole band thing is all about! haha. I was stuck too at like 18lbs, now I've almost lost 30 and I'm so excited. Good luck to you! -
31 lbs yay!! That's awesome. and to answer your question, you probably already have some fluid in your band, but all docs do it different. my doc put 2cc in when i had the surgery. but the tighter your band gets yes you will most def continue to lose at a good pace. but, not to bust your bubble, your probably losing really good right now because you haven't eaten much but liquids and mushies! for me, it got harder when i was able to eat regular food, because you don't have much restriction in the beginning, you'll catch yourself wanting to overeat. just see how you feel after your first fill. who knows, you might have great restriction after the first fill!
I did go walking today with my lab. We jogged two blocks! And I almost passed out! haha
Off to my hair appt!!!!!!!!!!!!

My nurse actually recommended flintstones chewables twice a day. That's what I take

Hey!! I weighed this morning and I've lost 27!!!! WHOOO HOOO. That's 2lbs in 1 day, lol. And I was just telling my aunt last night I couldnt' wait till 30lbs, almost there!
So how was the quiche? I bet any kind of food was yummy, haha
Think I'm going walking today, maybe I can lose 30 by the time I see my hubby! Have a great day girlie!!

Where in NM are ya'll going?! How exciting! Ahhh to be young and in college again... lol. Don't do anything crazy!
Did you get your house cleaned? Today was a good day. Tried to eat some bread little bit ago. That was hard! So I didn't eat much. When can you have some food?!
Have you lost anymore?? Are you still feeling excited about your band??
