Glad to hear everyone is doing okay I am so looking forward to getting to onederland. 2 more lbs. Well Dh finally decided and he came home with my dream car tonight.....a s500 mercedes benz......he completely surprised me and told me that I deserved 10 of them. He is an amazing man I was truly blessed when I met him 5 years ago. I was previously married for 17 years in a bad marriage. I truly feel blessed for finding the love of my life so late in life. 1day keep us posted on how your blood work comes out. What I ate today: B- Special K 1 cup 1/2 cup skim milk L - Filet of Soul fish and carrots D - bbq chicken breast, mixed veggies,1/2 baked potatoe s - sugar free Jello on top of banana (yummy)

Hope you feel better soon. Please keep us posted on how you are doing and what your PCP says. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Hubby bought me dream car a mercedes benz and its beautiful....he wanted me to get what I really wanted and did want me to settle. I felt guilty spending so much money but he was able to work out a deal since he is a radio announcer. So we got a great deal. I am very lucky. China I am glad you are feeling better since some fluid was taken out. Laurel I am sure you will get back on track. Cardovachick you are doing great. Lets all have a great week.

I have not been in the 100's since I was a teenager. I had my second really good day yesterday no getting stuck and was able to eat. B- Special K L- Atkins Protein Bar (I was on the run) D- Chili with steak (from Clam Jumper) it was very good We were out all day yesterday car hunting....we finally got one it is really nice and I am really happy with it I just did not realize it is alot longer than my old car so now we have to go clean out the garage so we can park it. Have a great day everyone.

B - oatmeal L - 1/2 cup chili with beaf D - 3 oz sole, string Beans 1/2 cup rice Snack - sf Jello The sole was great it melting in my mouth and I had no problems with it. I was so scared to eat.

Without you guys it would be very difficult. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are off to go car hunting. I hate shopping for a car a dealing with the sales people. China I am so happy for you and I am sure the bahamas is going to be great. Hope you have a safe trip home Laurel.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I am still alittle sore this morning but was able to get oatmeal down for breakfast. I am going to really focus on bite sizes and try and chew chew chew. I will not eat cod for a very long time. Janet I will try some of you recipes. If anyone has any more I would love them. I have a hard time eating the same thing all the time. I get bored. Sounds like it will be a fun time in PS this weekend Janet. We will be out car shopping this weekend.

Thank you all for your input and advice. I am still so sore I feel like I was kicked in the chest. I am not going to eat cod for a very very very long time. I was taking very small bites......maybe I was eating too fast. I really need some dinner ideas. I am good for breakfast and lunch dinner is tough. Any ideas or recipes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone....its been a bad night.

Hello everyone.....I need some advice. Since my last fill which was last Wednesday....its so strange I am fine for breakfast: usually oatmeal or special k or a egg. I am also at lunch usually some kind of veggie w/chicken or beaf soup or chili. Than the problem has been with dinner tonight was the worse ever. I got stuck and slimed for over 2 hours. Everything finally came up. My chest is still hurting. I had cod....the same thing happened last night with cod. Has anyone ever had this problem with cod? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I completely understand Janet about the issue about your son. Yes I have been washing everything and bleaching everything and he had some surgery to clean out the infection. Is is very scary stuff. He is feeling alot better today and it looks like he his on the road to recovery. Well I have a very busy day today taking care of my ill mother and hubby, cooking, grocery shopping and than doctos appointments for the DH. Have a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY China hope you have an amazing birthday...you deserve it and so much more. Laurel have a great time........enjoy your daughters birthday. Me and DH are going car shopping not sure if I will find anything I like. Have a great day.

Welcome back Janet....missed you. Where did you go visit your son at? I had my fill last Wednesday and boy let me tell you I can really feel the difference in this last fill. Eating my 3 meals and staying completely satisfied its a nice feeling....I hope it lasts. Well I am down 3 lbs this week and 4 more lbs until onederland....I cannot wait to be out of the 200's. I have been busy taking care of my DH he got a staff infection and has been very sick. I am happy to hear that everyone is doing well and Janet and everyone else thank you for all your support and advice. It really helps alot.

Good for you Cordova.....you are doing great. Since my last fill which was last Wednesday.....I have noticed a huge difference I may be at my sweet spot I have 7 cc in a 10cc band. Since Wednesday I have lost 3 lbs. I notice that I am not hungry between meals so no snacking. Glad that you are having a good time in Florida Laurel enjoy yourself. You deserve it. China hope you are doing well. Have a great week everyone.

Wow you look amazing thank you so much for your words orf encouragement. You are a true inspiration to all of us on this journey.

Welcome back China......I am so glad that you are alright. I am sorry that you are having so much problems since your fill. I can really feel the restriction since my last fill. I am only eating about half of what I used to eat. Lets see if the weight starts coming off now. I have increased my work out too. Hope everyone has a very happy easter.

Martyh don't be so hard on yoursels. Remember how long it took us to gain the weight. Probably years and years. I know is frustrating but the band is not like gastric bybass its alot slower. I am losing alot slower than alot of people but I am losing. I have been banded for 4 months now and am only down 23 lbs. There are days I am down about how slow its going but I get on this forum and everyone is so supportive and amazing. Lets all stick together get this done.

Doing well after my fill. I am on mushys still. But not getting hungry at all. Well I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter. We are taking my mother and mother in law out for brunch it will be a nice simple day all the kids have plans with the in laws so it will be weird this year. Be safe everyone.

Wow 60 lbs is wonderful. You should be very happy with that. The doctor told me that it does slow down alittle but if it completely stops you may need a small fill. Have a great time in Florida Laurel enjoy yourself....you deserve it. Where are you China I am very worried about you.

Dr. Coon and his staff are wonferful I had my surgery done by him and have been very pleased. Hope you had your surgery and everything went well.

Well I had my fill today and what he did was removed all the fluid out of my band and while the needle was still in he had me sit up and while he was filing me back up he had me drink while he was filling the band. I am now at 7cc's and am on liquids today and muchys tomorrow. We will see how things go. I sure hope China is ok. When do you leave for you vacation Laurel. Auggie you have track your food its really important.

Hello everyone. Well I went to the doctor today and I was only down 2lbs. He went a ahead and removed all 5 cc's from my band had me sit up and while I was drinking Water he was refilling my band until I got to comfortable level it was pretty amazing. I now have 6.5 cc in my band and am going to be on full liquids the rest of the day and mushys tomorrow. Dr. Coon is an amazing doctor and makes you feel like you are his only patient. Everyone in the office is very supportive and very helpful. Well I am off to care for my Mom. Janet where are you heading to see you son for Easter? Have a great time.

I see the doctor tomorrow I will let you know what he decides to do afill or no fill. I have good restriction but for the life of me the lbs are not coming off this month. I am so frustrated.

Hang in there Mrs.Bubba you are in my prayers. Janet do you find joining a gym instead of working out at home motivates you more? I am thinking about joining a gym. Where does your son live, locally to you? During you weight loss journey have you ever not lost any weight in a month. This month has been very slow for me. I only lost 2 lbs in a month. I know that everyone is different I just like to know if maybe I am doing something wrong.
