Well I got my 4th fill yesterday afternoon so hopefully I will be on a losing spree this month. Dr. Miles did the fill this time and he put in 1.5cc instead of the usual 1 cc that Lisa puts in there soooo hopefully this will be my sweet spot or what have you. I pretty much stayed the same last month of just losing 45 pounds but now I weighed this morning and I am at 48.2 gone.. WOOHOO, that makes me very happy.

Hey I haven't posted lately, I got my 3rd fill on the 23rd of Feb and have lost NO more pounds but I haven't gained either so I guess that is good. However I want to lose more. I get my 4th fill on Monday the 23rd so hopefully that'll be the magic one. I haven't had a chance to check mail, forums or much of anything b/c I have been working like crazy!.. I got 57 hours in last week and my normal hours a week is 37.5 so I have been exhausted.... Anyway I need to catch up on the posts....

Glad to see your mom is doing better. I too had the surgery for my health and so I will be able to do activities with my Hubby and my 2 boys.

Hi yall, I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would bebop into here and post a quick message be4 I wake my wild boys for school... Anyway I got measured again like 3 months after my surgery and I have lost some inches.. WOOHOO like 3 in my waist and 4 in each thigh, only like .5 in my neck and 1.5 in each arm so that is very exciting and I have only lost 45 pounds. I am getting my 3rd fill on Monday and I soooo need it like yesterday.... oh well maybe this'll be my sweet spot and I need to lose lose lose. I am still doing an exercise video at least 4 times a week and it is too flipping cold outside to walk right now at night or in the morning. Oh well just thought I would share, always need to come in this forum to compare to the people that had their surgery also in Nov.

Well maybe I will see you in the waiting room, however I don't know what you look like so who knows, I usually talk to people in the waitin room tho. I am one of those that seems shy but I am very talkative... lol I am hoping to make it to the meeting on Sat. Hubby might have to work so I will have to see if my MIL will watch the wild kiddies for 2 hours or so. I am sooooooooooooo glad it is Friday today, work is sooo busy and I am ready for the weekend. Hoping it is nice to go to Oak Mountain and do some geocashing.. anyone do that? We used to but are getting back into it. It is pretty fun for kids and adults and seeing what the hidden treasure is.... there are even some in clay & trussville. Anyway I am blabbering and I must go and wake my wild boys and get them ready for school.

Hey my appt is at 3:30 or 3:45 on the 23rd and I soooo need some restriction now! :eek: We had our own lil support group be4 my appt last time in the waiting area.... lol Jason, are you goin on the 23rd?

I was suppose to get a fill yesterday but they cancelled and said no one was gonna be there on yesterday for fills so I have to wait til the 23rd. BUMMER and I need one NOW! On the good note tho, I have lost 45 pounds and my mom measured me this weekend and I have lost some inches. If I remember correctly like 3 in my waist and 4 in each thigh so that is why my pants are baggy. :blushing: Just thought I would share! I haven't posted in a while. I am hoping to make it to the meeting this weekend.

Hi, I haven't posted on this thread lately but I thought I would share that I have hit the 40 pounds lost and it is feeling great, however I can't wait to say I have lost 100 but that'll be a while. Anyway I am ready for my next fill but it isn't until the 17th, I heard the 3rd is your sweet spot usually so hopefully I will lose more then. Anyway hope yall are doing great~ I am ready for some warm weather...

Hi, I really can't tell much difference since my 2nd fill but she only added 1cc the first time and the 2nd time only 1cc sooo maybe my #3 fill will be the magic one.. However I have hit the 40 pounds lost goal and that is very exciting. I am sick with sinus infection and have been eating ice all day yesterday and it just goes right thru so I probably lost at least 2 pounds yesterday. We went to the circus last night and it was fun. Here is a slide show that hubby made, see if yall can view it. Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket We were up really high but zoom lens camera worked really good! Anyway just thought I would stop in and post since I haven't all week.

What kind of shooters are yall talking about from Walmart? Are they tasty or icky? How much protein in them? I like the EAS choco or vanilla from wally world, and they have 17 grams protein.

Hi, I got my 2nd fill today and hopefully I can lose more weight! However I am happy by losing the 36 pounds I have already lost! :thumbup:

Hi Tiana, I met you on Sat briefly but I saw you in the waiting at the docs office today, I got my 2nd fill. Hope you 1st fill went good!~

I loved the movie Twilight! My sis and I want to read the books. I can read a book in about a day if I want to.. usually read on my lunch at work and at night sometimes if the kids will let me be.. lol Never heard of sookie books? Might have to check them out. Good to meet several of yall on Saturday!~ I am getting my 2nd fill on tomorrow and I am looking forward to that! I need to lose more more more....

Hi, I am hoping I can make myself get up and out in the FREEZING cold to go to the meeting in the morning. I didn't get to go to Dec b/c of Christmas gatherings but anyway so maybe I'll meet some of yall tomorrow.

I had my surgery and 1 fill but I get my next fill next week and I have been at the hungry part with less restriction so I am looking forward to my fill on the 20th.

I thought you weren't suppose to have lettuce with the band? I need to read up on my book more.. but I have stayed away from salad... I am looking forward to the meeting on Saturday since I missed the last one due to a Christmas function. Do any of you guys get up and talk about your weight loss at the meetings? I didn't last time b/c it was right after I had had the surgery.... Anyway maybe I can meet some of yall at the meeting on Saturday. I am doing good esp I have had a few episodes with drinking too soon after eating and it hasn't been nice!!!

I am looking forward to getting my 2nd fill on the 20th of Jan. I need more restriction and need to lose more weight. I am doing good, only throw up when I drink too soon after eating... but I am just too darn thirsty.. lol

The gummy vitamins are doing fine for me. Just chew chew chew... as you do with everything you eat anyway.

Okie that'll be great! Are you gonna put pics in photobucket or something to share?

Hi, I am interested in some of your tops and maybe some of your pants since you are tall too. I am 6ft tall and tall is hard to find. Anyway I could pay shipping via paypal or something. Lemme know. Thanks!

Hi, I would say the 2 csections I have had were worst that the lapband surgery. The first csection was the worst but then the 2nd you knew what to expect. With the lapband, I wouldn't say easy but the recovery time is much quicker. However the gas pains aren't fun, you will need to walk walk walk... they made me walk around be4 leaving after surgery. My surgery was at like 10am and I was leaving the hospital at 3, groggy but leaving, went back to my parents house for a few days so my Mom could take care of me (hubby was at home taking care of the kids) and I got to sit up in the recliner for 2 days, mom brought me lots of liquid and made me get up and walk.. the port incision hurts the worst for a while.... Anyway hope that helps you....

Thanks yall for all the great suggestions! I did go and buy some of the lil' critters gummy Vitamins and I double the kids dose, I am gonna take with me to my appointment to see how many I should be taking. Thanks again~ I love this forum!

Funny question I know but I was just wondering where you felt like you were losing first.... I told my Mom the other day that my bras were looser and my shoes were too big. How funny! However I wish my belly was smaller too, but that day will come. People say they can already tell in my face....

I drank cokes up until my surgery or the day be4 and I have been coke free for almost 2 months. They aren't good for you and they can cause band slippage, expand your pouch, and ulcers. Sometimes at work while people are cracking open their cans, I go downstairs and get me a juice so I can crack open mine too. It'll all be worth it!!!! Cokes are not worth it!!!
