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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw cleaning and packing are no fun!

I'm fixing to go see my brother... I'm bored and he's at my moms. So figured I'd go show him my hair, hehe. I'm gonna stop and get me some sweet tea! I'm feeling a little dehydrated, and water is getting boring.

Later Loves!

Aw I love the Bichions! They're so cute!

I've been to Denton lots of times, a good friend of mine went to school in Krum and I think the towns are kinda close?

So did you go work out? You can always put off till tomorrow, I won't tell...

I'm from Texarkana actually, but had my surgery in Dallas because there was more docs to pick from and it was cheaper. There is 1 doc here that does the surgery, but the price was ridiculous to me! It sucks having to drive so far for fills, but it's worth it.

I'm sitting here watching the clock waiting for 5... thanks for keeping me so entertained today!

Aw thanks. I'm feeling better today. I'm starving!! haha. Was on liquids all day yesterday. But I get food today! I'm crossing my fingers for good results, trying to stay positive!

What you doing today pretty?

Aw well I hope the appeal works!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

I'm doing pretty good. Down 40lbs now

The past couple weeks I've been a little sidetracked and haven't lost any. I moved from TX to NM, so that was stressful, and all my groceries were either packed or thrown away. So I had to eat out, never a good thing!! lol

But I finally got groceries yesterday. When I eat at home and I have my own little things that I know aren't high in calories that I love, then I do great. So I'm hoping to start losing again soon!!

Keep me posted on your surgery!! Muah!!

Aw your mom sounds fun!

I can't believe you stayed up until 5!! Ah I miss the days sleeping in till noon, now I have a pesky chihuahua waking me up at 8:30 wanting to go potty, lol.

My legs are sore today! That is so pitiful! I only did 30 min of cardio, shows how out of shape I am, hehe

Oh, hey, I meant to ask you, are you on myspace??

You could be my friend

Bye girlie!

Aww sorry about your pups!! Let me know how they do.

Talk to ya soon

Glad you reminded me about working out! I saw your message this morning, I had forgotten! I was getting too comfy on my couch, lol.

I had never heard of that major before! But it sounds so cool!

Well I'm not too excited to move. I love Texas and I don't want to leave!

But at least we both have family there and it'll be good for his job. I just don't want to live in the desert! BUT there is a ski town 1 hour away and when I go visit him next week he's promising me snow and sledding! My fav!!

Well I guess I better feed all these animals and get my sweats on and head to the beast I call the treadmill!!

Have a great day pretty girl!

Good Morning! It's raining here again! And it's cold *shivers*

So did you stay up too late last night miss chat room?! haha

Well I'm off to make breakfast! Have a fabulous day pretty!

Good Morning! It's raining here! Yay! So I'm sitting on my loveseat with the curtains open watching it rain. I love this kind of weather....

I'm so sleepy tho! I stayed up too late playing those darn games! I play Text Twist and Word Mojo. I guess I'm a nerd who likes to spell, hehe.

So what kinds of foods are you eating? Are you on a strict diet or are you just trying to stay away from certain things?

Well I'm off to make breakfast! Turkey bacon and an egg, yummy! I love my turkey bacon!

Have a fabulous day!

haha, the kite story is funny!! silly girl!

I think my hair turned out pretty great! I'll take a pic tonight or tomorrow. I got some red and brown highlights. I was there for 3 /12 hours!!!

What did you do today besides hang out with the popos, hehe

Hey girlie! Just got back from sledding! WHOO HOO! Now I'm back at the cabin sipping hot coco I'll put some pics up in a bit.

I haven't lost anymore either, I'm stuck. But oh well it's only been 3 days. How's everything in your world?

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! haha

Everything 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!

Hey manny!! Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Glad I got to talk to you a bit on the chat the other day!! My stupid computer kicked me out tho

Anyway, hope you're doing great!! I think our friend Kareen has abandoned us!! haha, I never hear from her

Have a great night!!

hey, i just made it to new mexico, i'm so tired!! we made the trip, puppies and all!

Get to packing girl!

Hey! Well your mom must be a smart lady, hehe. Those games are awesome.

My bacon was wonderful! I forget you just had surgery, the mushy stage was so much better than liquids! But really the turkey bacon is good, I can't really tell a difference. I just had some tuna and crackers for lunch, def not my fav! But it'll do in a pinch! lol

I'm not doing anything today! I took a shower, put on some comfy clothes, and I'm watching Dog Whisperer now, lol.

Do you have big plans today? When do you have to go back to school?

Talk at cha later lady!

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!!

Hi Kar! Glad the pups are better!

Today was aweful... it was the worst fill ever, well for me anyway. Cross your fingers my band isn't leaking! I go back jan.30

Talk to ya later girlie!

I am feeling better! I talked to my nurse today, she is super sweet & one of those people that just makes you feel better ya know?! She calmed my nerves. But I'm still meeting with surgeon on 30th. But my restriction is great today! Getting fuller faster!

Well I hope your doc appts went ok today, they are usually no fun, lol. I'm getting ready to pack for my trip to NM. I'm leaving on Sun. So I've been tanning and I"m getting my hair done on Fri. Gotta look hot for my hubby! haha

When do you get to start on solid foods?

I lost another pound. that's 25 total, yay!

I can't believe you're at 5cc!! Jeeze! My doc is a slow "filler" I guess, lol. Thats great tho!

No more Ben & Jerry's, I promise. It was a one time fling! hehe

I thought I was going to bed... but now I'm not sleepy. My hubby is snoring beside me. *sighs*

I just got home! I'm soooo tired! No I didn't work out, I shopped! haha. Saw 7 lbs, I did not like it. The last 15 min were good. But it took SO LONG to get to the point. Did you watch Yes Man?

Love the pics! Those are some cute puppies!

Yay for you for working out! I'm definitely going tomorrow, you might write me tomorrow and remind me I said that, lol.

I don't work right now. And it's great I must say! I've always always always had a job. But my husband got a new job in New Mexico (i'm moving there soon) so he said I could go ahead and quit my job here and take a break since we'd be moving anyway and I'd have to quit eventually. So I'm a housewife, haha. My husband is already in NM working. I can't move there till Feb. I miss him.

My Doc is Dr. Veninga. He's a goofy character but he did a great job. But it's exactly a 3 hr drive, so long! And I have to get on the stupid tollway! haha.

So have you decided your major yet?

Have a good night girlie!

I was banded aug 25, 08. was a slow start, took me a while to get restriction, but i'm on a roll now!

I'm doing pretty good. Down 40lbs now

Did your insurance not cover the surgery at all?? Well I hope something works out for you eventually. But I went thru the same thing. I originally wanted the surgery in 2006. Couldn't afford it, had crappy insurance. I kept it in my mind as a goal, and eventually it happened. So keep your chin up!

I'm not doing much of anything today! It's too HOT outside!

I'm fixing to pack up my Christmas decorations, finally! lol. Got me some totes and going to pack it up. And that's probably all I'm going to do... but I might give my pup a bath too.

I am so tired too! Maybe it was all that vicious cardio I did earlier, hehehe. I'm going to take a nap and then figure something out for dinner, hopefully it'll be healthy!

Toodles!

I'm so sorry you fell! OMG! Did anyone see?? ha. I hope your poor port is ok!

My day was great. I haven't done much!

I'll be in Dallas Jan 30, if you're not busy we should do lunch or something!
