JT, Expound on the pouch test please.

Thanks for the Welcome. Don't fret about the gain. Could be lots of things. (water). I've been gaining and losing the same 3 lbs for 3 weeks. I know I have to eat more but I just can't get it in.

Hi Joyce (and everyone else) Just found the thread. Greetings from Gardner. I was banded a year ago at KU. My original thread had about 250 of us who were banded last April and only 3 or 4 still post. So I will be a regular if you don't mind.

I'm up 1.5 lbs. I don't want to play this game anymore. I would really really like to get to 100 lbs before I go see my Bowling mates in Texas in two weeks. How much do you think toes weigh?? No I can't cut them off, I need them for the Tournament. Just kidding!!!

I stayed the same this week. 218 SURE. On Monday I was 216.5 If I continue this see-saw routine, I'll never get to 100 lbs. Oh yes I will. I'm just getting antsy.

Greetings. I weighed in at 218. That's up .5. I'll take that.

"I'm so excited". I lost the 2.5 I gained back last week plus 3.5 more. I'm finally out of the 20's. 217.5 this morning. I'm hoping to have 100 lbs off by vacation in April.

Started using the Wii in November. I've been doing it everyday for 30 - 40 minutes. I also bowl once a week. Want to join the Y and do water aerobics.

Morning. I gained again this week. 223.5 (up 1.5) I'm getting really annoyed. I go to the Dr. Thursday. Do not want a fill. I need to get in more calories. Exercising like crazy. (Didn't change my ticker) Hope everyone else is well.

Yea!!! I'm at 221 today. That means I lost the 3.5 I gained last week and an additional 1.5. I purposely did not exercise yesterday as I thought that might have been my problem last week. Listen to me I'm grasping at straws.

BG. The scale looks marvelous - So do your toes. You deserve bunches of accolades.

I gained 3.5 lbs this week. Disclaimer - I've been exercising every morning for 30 - 45 minutes. It's muscle. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Oh and not changing my ticker. I'm just sayin!!!

D, Sending you good vibes today. You'll do great. Keep us in the loop and remember to keep walking when you get home. (it gets rid of the gas pockets)

I think it's just your body reacting to "non" food. With a little bit of nerves thrown in. Imodium should help but if you're still "going" tomorrow you might want to ask the Dr.

You are possitively doing the right thing. As it's been said before, if we could do it ourselves we would have. You have to do this for you. They'll come around. If you need an ear just shout out here. This is a great site. I'm thankful everyday that I found it just before my surgery.

That's so funny. Our Band Birthday is the same day and our real birthday is a week apart. Mine is 5/18. (the year's not the same of course, I'm an antique).

BG Sorry to hear you're sick. Feel better and good WL. JT - You're incredible. Hope he recognizes you!!! LBT wouldn't let me in yesterday. This week's total is 3. I'm at 222.5. Doing better on PB's. Now I'm having occasional Acid Reflux. Scheduled my right knee replacement for May 11th. Right after I come back from bowling Nationals in El Paso on the 2nd & 3rd.

I still miss the thought of eating. I love the show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". I've been to several that have been on the show. The food he shows, I would still love to dive into. It's a mental hunger as opposed to a physical hunger. My brain always says "you'd really like to finish eating that" and my band says "are you nuts".

I have Instant oatmeal every other morning. I also add 1.5 tsp of GenSoy protein powder. That adds 13 gr of protein.

I had thought about Louis for my band because I named my GPS Thelma. I'll keep thinking. Ralph. Too Funny

Morning all. Weighed in at 226.5. Down 3 lbs this week. Thanks BG for the oatmeal/soy protein tip.

Stacey, Good wishes are coming your way for tomorrow morning. Keep posting.

1st fill - no numbing. He stuck me 5 or 6 times with numerous probing in between. Serious tears. Finally he realized my port is sideways. He had me pooch out my stomach and he found it right away. Second fill, (no numbing) I reminded him it was sideways. Pooched out and he found it right away. (

I never even thought about naming it. Have some serious thinking to do.
